Clash detection isn’t simply about finding design conflicts. Its real value lies in identifying them at the right time - before they become delays, redesigns, variations and costly site rework.

If you're working with existing buildings, renovations or complex coordination, you might find it useful.

We’re incredibly proud to share that CMS Surveyors has been named Professional Organisation of the Year (Large) at the inaugural National EISSI Awards.

After winning the NSW award in November, we were honoured to represent our state on the national stage alongside the best surveying organisations from across Australia.

To come away with the national title is something really special.

This award recognises excellence across our profession - from technical delivery and innovation through to leadership, culture and contribution to the industry.

For us, it reflects what matters most: the way our team shows up for our clients and for each other, every day.

From complex infrastructure projects like Western Sydney Airport to everyday residential jobs, we’re proud to bring the same care, precision and commitment to every project.

This achievement belongs to our entire team - and to the clients and partners who trust us to be part of their projects.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of our 25 year journey. We’re proud as punch of this moment.
