Our Story

Nelson Surveyors began in 2013, driven by the vision of our founder, Nelson Boquin.

Throughout his life, Nelson’s curiosity has fueled his passion for surveying. Having spent considerable time in the surveying field, he believed that surveying had more to offer than just pushing buttons. He wanted to gain a holistic understanding of surveying, its true value to the world and apply that knowledge to help improve the service in the construction industry.

With this in mind Nelson made the decision to join the other side, and became a labourer on a civil site.This choice allowed him to witness and learn how an empty paddock could transform into a thriving community. Nelson experienced the entire process from an entirely new perspective. 

Nelson made the decision to experience a project from different perspective. Working as a construction team member, he was able to experience the processes involved beginning with an empty paddock and transforming into a thriving community. Nelson experienced the entire process from an entirely new perspective.

With practical experience under his belt, Nelson started his entrepreneurial journey and created Nelson Surveyors. Knowing first-hand what’s important to construction teams, makes him an invaluable surveying collaborator, guaranteeing the successful completion of many projects. Nelson brings a practical and intellectual approach to all his client work.

Now, Nelson Surveyors has grown into a team of experts, headquartered in beautiful McLaren Vale, South Australia.
