Here at Stratum Consultants Ltd we often get asked what a Building Location Certificate is. A Building Location Certificate (BLC) or survey is a certification document prepared by a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor which shows or confirms the position of a building or structure relative to the property boundaries.

Becoming a licensed cadastral surveyor is no easy feat. It requires obtaining a Bachelor of Surveying Degree, successfully completing practical surveying projects and, finally, passing the New Zealand Institute of Surveyors (NZIS) Professional Entrance exams.
