Our dedicated team of experts have a commitment to operational excellence. We focus on cost and time reduction and with a sound appreciation of the challenges in meeting regulatory standards you will be assured of project success.
Our expertise
Our expertise spans from an extensive experience in the design and delivery of light and heavy industrial developments and warehouses. We know time and cost are critical to the success of any industrial development and we have a rare and enviable appreciation of the design of estates and buildings that allows us to add value early on in the planning of our developments. This experience and value is then strengthened by our construction experts who manage the tender and contract administration of the civil infrastructure that supports warehouse development. At the end of the delivery cycle, our extensive experience in warehouse design ensures that our planning, civil construction and contract management is informed by a deep understanding of the end and primary use of our services.

Orion offers the full survey spectrum to the land development sector, utilising an advanced and evolving suite of instruments and software. Our Registered Surveyors have expertise in Cadastral and Land Development Projects and will add value from the land acquisition, development application, and subdivision application stages. Our early engagement on any development project is invaluable to our clients. We provide timely and concise advice on complicated titling matters from Torrens, Community or Strata/Stratum schemes.
Our Registered Surveyors work closely with the NSW Land Registry Services (LRS) to ensure meticulous, professional and legal standards are met to facilitate the early Registration and Subdivision Works Certificate for your development.
We offer the following specialist surveys:
- Detail & Topographical Surveys
- Plans of Redefinition
- Plans of Consolidation
- Land Subdivision (Torrens Title and Community Title)
- Strata and Stratum Subdivisions
- Acquisition Plans
- Engineering Setout
- Building Setout
- Works as Executed Surveys
- Identification Surveys
- Boundary Marking
Orion’s digital engineering team leverages the current and emerging technologies to assist our clients in the visualisation of their future development in context. Utilising the latest drone technology, we have the ability to capture a site in any condition to generate a 1:1 digital representation. From this, our Digital Team can create a virtual environment where the proposed designs can be displayed in context to the clients site. This can be via Augmented Reality and placing the design on the ground viewable on the client’s mobile device or via hologram in a HoloLens. Additionally, a Virtual Reality scene can be built replicating a video game like experience, allowing the user to virtually explore a site either on screen or in a VR headset.
Some examples use cases of Photogrammetric Drone Survey include:
- Change mapping of the subject site for progress reporting
- Automated and repeatable flight missions
- Coordinated visual maps for inground infrastructure location and quantification
- Fast and accurate volumetric calculations
- Applications where traditional survey techniques would be challenging (unsafe, steep and hard to access terrain)
- WAE checking and confirmation of design features built to design
- Dilapidation reporting on various assets (bridges, roads, solar panels, roofing, etc.)
- Heritage building modelling for capture of its integrity at a point in time
- Vegetation and erosion monitoring
- Fast DSM and DTM (digital terrain) generation
- Flythrough videos of the site for marketing and progress reporting
- Numerous export types available for the application at hand. These include but not limited to point clouds, reality mesh, depth maps, cross and long sections, contours and surface tins
The Orion structural engineering team provides exceptional structural analysis and design services, with an eye for innovation and cost optimisation. Using the best in CAD drafting software and closely collaborating with our survey and civil teams, we continually strive for clever design, articulated in easy-to-interpret drawings and plans.
