SURVEY REVIEW SOFTWARE · AUSTRALIA
Review before you sign off.
Advisory QA for Australian survey teams — evidence-linked findings across reports, plan PDFs and map linework. Your professional judgement stays exactly where it belongs.

Compare your own figures against these instruments with the free advisory traverse misclose and level loop closure checkers — two of eight free field tools.
"Most reports get reviewed with a highlighter and a deadline."
Office review is where survey quality is actually decided — and it's squeezed between field schedules, lodgement dates, and a profession-wide shortage of senior reviewers. Checks get done from memory. Evidence lives in someone's head. SurveyMarkup gives the review step its own instrument: every automated check is anchored to a published standard, every finding is linked to the exact line, page, or coordinate that triggered it, and nothing is ever hidden behind a score.
Three tools, one review surface
Report Reader
PDF Markup
Map Linework
Every finding, linked to evidence.
How a review runs
Upload working files
Reports, plan PDFs, linework. Source files are read, never modified.
Checks flag findings with evidence
Standards-anchored checks raise OK / WARN / FAIL / REF findings, each linked to the line, page or coordinate behind it.
You review and decide
Work through findings, add notes, export a review summary. Sign-off remains an act of professional judgement by the registered surveyor — on paper, not in software.
Start from the file you have.
Three task-entry paths — all advisory, all unverified, synthetic or cleared test files during public beta.
Not sure? Start with the documentation or the supported files register. Every tool stays advisory and unverified — not for survey deliverables; registered surveyor confirmation required.
What a finding looks like
SYNTHETIC SAMPLE · NO CLIENT DATA
MGA zone metadata disagrees with coordinate range
Header declares MGA zone 55; eastings fall within zone 56 extents. Confirm the intended zone before export.
AUSGeoid2020 stated; derived AHD heights consistent
Geoid model declared and height derivation consistent with the stated model. Recorded for the review trail.
Traverse misclose 0.018 m over 412 m
Within the firm-configurable guidance for this class. Advisory finding — findings of this type can never block an export.

What SurveyMarkup is — and is not
Safety & scope
SurveyMarkup does not certify survey accuracy, cadastral compliance, legal boundaries, or coordinate correctness. It helps prepare and review working information, but original data and final outputs must be checked by a qualified user before use.
Assistance only - professional review remains required.
What it does
- Reads survey reports and coded linework
- Highlights advisory findings
- Preserves source files (read-only)
- Creates review summaries
- Helps prepare for professional office review
What it does not do
- Certify a survey
- Authorise outputs
- Replace registered surveyor judgement
- Alter original source files
- Make cadastral decisions
- Make final compliance decisions
- Produce survey deliverables
Give office review its own instrument.
Public beta, Australian-built, advisory by design. Pilot places are limited while we work closely with early firms.
