What do we do?

 

The Directors

 John BlueJohn graduated in 1986 and registered as a surveyor in 1987. He worked in the Department of Survey & Land Information, and formed a private surveying comany in 1989. In 1994, Murray Wallace joined him and Blue Wallace Surveyors was born. John is an expert in rural subdivision, and is most likely to be the one you'll see in the field if your job is in the Coromandel.

Murray Wallace
Murray graduated in 1991 at Otago University and registered in 1994 as a surveyor. He took a contract with Fletchers working in Western Samoa on a roading contract, which gave him great experience with civil engineering and contract management. In 1994 he formed Blue Wallace Surveyors with John Blue, and the business has continued to grow since. Murray has first dibs on all our Great Barrier Island jobs, taking the chance to put his pilot's license to good use.

Tony Tynan
In 2007, Tony took the step from being a Blue Wallace employee to becoming joint Director with John & Murray. Tony became a registered surveyor in 2001, and spent his early surveying career working in north Auckland for a multi-national surveying company. This gave him a broad range of experience in rural and rural-residential development. Since moving to Hamilton he has gone on to specialise in large scale urban subdivision. Areas of expertise also include urban design, civil engineering design, and contract management.

Peace of Mind - We're Qualified & Experienced
We are Licensed Cadastral Surveyors and Registered Professional Surveyors, and Members of the New Zealand Institute of Surveyors (MNZIS), and of the Consulting Surveyors of New Zealand (CSNZ). We are also members of the Waikato Chamber of Commerce.

Our staff have well over 100 years combined experience in the surveying industry between them. 

We have staff who've come to us from Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) and the old Government department of Lands & Survey, from Council, and with overseas surveying experience. We now have four Registered Surveyors, a Graduate Surveyors working towards Registration, and chainmen working towards the new Survey Technician qualification.  

Saving You Time & Money
Using the latest technology - Civil 3D CAD, GPS, reflectorless theodolite, and e-survey plan lodgement processes, saves our clients time and money by enabling us to complete projects in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. 

     

Relationships
The relationships we have developed with local Councils, environmental agencies, Iwi groups, and contractors, help us make the land development process as simple and painless as possible for you, our clients. We find this increasingly important as Councils tighten up their regulations and require more and more information to meet their rules.

The Team

Our surveyors' skills range from road, land, forestry and engineering surveying, to cadastral, quantity, geodetic, topographic and hydrographic surveying, and specialist design and drafting.

We're proud of the people who make up the Blue Wallace team, they are a group of highly motivated and skilled individuals.

Community Minded

Founded by locals, and being one of the leading surveying companies in the region, we feel it is important to support our local community where we can. We are regular supporters of the Special Childrens' Christmas Party, NZ Family & Foster Care Federation, Epilepsy Foundation of NZ, and Angels for Children Charitable Trust.

Our staff also enjoy participating in local charity fun runs, including the Hamilton Lake Pink Walk for breast cancer and our annual entry & fundraising efforts for the Waikato / BOP Cancer Society's Relay for Life.

We support fair trade by using Trade Aid tea & coffee supplies in our lunch room and participating in the Oxfam Biggest Coffee Break. We have office recycling systems for paper & cardboard, ink cartridges, and plastic, glass & cans.
