Brisbane based Lawson Surveys, Consulting Land Surveyors has been established now for almost 50 years.

The Director of Lawson Surveys, Ian Gray specialises in property and community titles, mixed use developments, boundary dispute resolution and town planning matters.

Ian Gray began his survey career in 1998 with a small rural firm in his New South Wales hometown. Ian moved to Brisbane in 2000 and began working for Lawson Surveys. He moved to London for two years and worked on construction sites as a Set out Engineer. This work held him in good stead for his return to Queensland, working as a construction surveyor in various mine sites. In 2007 he returned to Lawson Surveys as a Cadastral Surveyor and progressed to Senior Surveyor. He recently purchased Lawson Surveys and is now the Sole Director. Ian is currently managing the titling and volumetric surveys involved with one of the largest mixed use (retail and commercial) developments in Brisbane.
