Rail Surveying
With more than 25 years of experience in Australia, McDonald Surveys delivers high-accuracy rail surveying and technical engineering solutions that support construction, maintenance, and major rail expansions. Our team provides end-to-end support across brownfield and greenfield environments, ensuring every project is delivered safely, efficiently, and in line with rail industry standards and safeworking practices.

Dilapidation Services
Combining people, technology and experience we can take care of every stage within the dilapidation survey process. Our Dilapidation Managed Service will support community expectations from planning through to the completed construction phase of a project. It provides each asset owner with peace of mind through a signed report, but more importantly minimizes queries back to the client throughout the life of a project.

Engineering Services
We deliver a broad range of engineering services across civil infrastructure, the built environment and digital engineering. Our capabilities include road and civil surveys, topographic and building surveys, structural and façade assessments, 3D modelling, BIM-ready outputs, and comprehensive pre- and post-construction condition surveys. We support projects from early design through to as-built verification, providing accurate data, clear reporting and scalable expertise for developments of any size.
