Successful planning requires not only an understanding of local, state and regional legislation, but also the capability to apply that knowledge. At DTS, our practical approach to applying our knowledge is what allows us to deliver award-winning solutions. DTS has provided highly professional surveying services to clients in Brisbane and South East Queensland since 1968.
By applying the latest industry standards and regulations as well as using the most up-to-date technology, we deliver industry-leading results. Effective Urban Design results in the creation of spaces and communities in which people want to live and call home. It also requires an understanding of how best to leverage a sites solar aspect, infrastructure connectivity and topographical features to maximise the liveability and value of a site.

My husband and I are going through our first sub-division and we highly recommend DTS. They have been fantastic to work with, always quick to reply, very helpful with explaining the process and answering questions. We've worked mostly with Rhett and he has stayed on top of the process the whole way through. Very knowledgeable and friendly service.
Definitely working with them again on our next project.
Thank you DTS

I rang up DTS on the advice of a friend who had used their services previously, describing them as "incredibly helpful". And she was right! Tony Valentine listened to the tricky issue I had regarding an encroachment, and promptly provided advice and costings. In a second follow-up phone call, he suggested a solution that meant I didn't even need to use DTS surveying services. As I told him, he just did himself out of work. Thanks so much Tony and DTS!

They haven't had an office in Mackay for a long time, yet they have a brand new website still promoting a presence in North Queensland including the physical office address still listed.
I wonder what the current tenant of that office says when someone comes knocking looking for DTS..
This is the lack of integrity and honesty you can expect to get from this company - from our experience unfortunately the dishonesty seems to come right from the top with their CEO.
