Crossland and Hardy Surveyors

What Crossland and Hardy Surveyors does

Crossland & Hardy Surveyors (legal entity Crossland & Hardy Pty Ltd) is a privately-held professional surveying firm headquartered at 177 Railway Parade, Maylands, Western Australia. Established in 1868, the company is the oldest continuously operating surveying firm in Western Australia and is currently led by three directors — Cameron Macliver (joined 1996, licensed 2015), Matthew Pyke (joined 1996), and Daniel Macey (joined 2010) — with a total headcount of approximately five employees. The firm delivers project-based surveying services across three practice areas: Railway Services (track surveys, alignment control, tamping support, as-constructed reporting), Land & Property (subdivisions, boundary re-establishment, feature and contour surveys, strata mergers, commercial leases), and Construction, Engineering & Specialty Services (construction set-out, UAV/drone aerial mapping, laser scanning, underground services mapping compliant with AS 5488.2:2022, and structural monitoring). All surveyors are CASA-approved for drone operation, and the firm holds specialized rail-survey equipment including the Trimble Gedo Vorsys Trolley System. Service delivery is supported by conventional and modern spatial data collection technologies (UAV systems, laser scanning, electromagnetic utility location) but no proprietary software platform is disclosed.

The business operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model. Revenue is generated through individually quoted engagements rather than subscriptions or retainers, with pricing determined per project scope and complexity; clients reach the firm via direct phone, a website quote request form, or through its approved supplier status with the Western Australia Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage and the Public Transport Authority. The customer base spans multiple verticals: enterprise clients include Rio Tinto (Pilbara rail network laser scanning), CBH Group and RMC Rail (Kwinana grain terminal re-sleepering), and government clients include the WA Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage and the Public Transport Authority. Geographic reach is concentrated in Western Australia, including metro Perth and remote regions (Pilbara, Wheatbelt). The firm maintains a portfolio-based marketing approach with project showcases on its website, organic social media presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook, and referral visibility through industry associations including the Western Australian Institution of Surveyors, the Geospatial Council of Australia, and the Land Surveyors Licensing Board. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; no funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investment are indicated.
