C.R. Hutchison & Co. Pty. Limited was established in 1970 to provide surveying services to private enterprise, government authorities and the general public. While the majority of the assignments undertaken by the firm have been in the Newcastle/Hunter Valley/Central Coast area it does not restrict itself geographically and has completed projects throughout New South Wales, Southern & Central Queensland, Tasmania and Hong Kong. Services provided by the firm cover the full range of survey practice activities and specialist survey services to the Mining and Tunnelling Industries, as well as construction, electric power transmission, property development and defense industries.

In addition to the normal modern equipment found in survey offices, we have a range of specialised equipment for high precision surveying, gyroscopic determination of azimuth and satellite global positioning.

We place strong emphasis on customer service and quality.

Since its foundation in 1970, C R Hutchison & Co Pty Limited (CRH) has striven for excellence in the provision of surveying services. A formal Quality Management System (operating to Australian Standard AS3901) was introduced in 1991 and, in September, 1993, CRH successfully completed an External Audit of the system to meet the very high standards of the then NSW Department of Public Works and Services and their requirements for "Substantial Implementation". CRH achieved JAS-ANZ Third Party Quality Assurance Certification to ISO9001:1994 in November, 1996 and ISO 9001:2000 in November 2003.

Since implementation, CRH has remained committed to the philosophy of quality management. This fact is integral with the ethos of the firm. A major strength of the firm is the commitment by management to ongoing training of staff and the high level of supervision provided by the Partners to more junior personnel.

At CRH, our focus is on the future and therefore we are committed to continually improving quality and cost effectiveness of our business and in growing client value.

To this end, the firm now operates under a new Business Systems Manual that has been devised from systems and procedures developed since inception.

Working under the above Quality system the firm has gained recognition in the NSW Excellence in Surveying Awards (Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities) in 2000 for the project, “Sutton Park Estate, Medowie” a Hunter Sewerage Project and in the 2002 awards in the “Extra Dimension” Category for the project “The Cooranbong/Mandalong Collieries Correlation Survey”.
