Our Team

Lachlan Cox
Lachlan joined Next Step Surveying in early 2025, bringing with him a solid background in leading commercial construction projects across the Sunshine Coast. He is a Registered Associate with the Surveyors Board of Queensland.
Before entering the surveying industry, Lachlan’s career path was diverse. He holds a degree in Graphic Design and worked in Landscape Construction while travelling and living in the UK. Upon returning to Australia, he spent time in the mining industry with a geotechnical company—an experience that eventually inspired him to pursue a career in land surveying. This varied background gives Lachlan a uniquely practical approach to his work.
Known for his clear communication and sharp attention to detail, Lachlan leads our Commercial Construction Division. His personable nature and reliability quickly make him the surveyor of choice for many of our clients.
Outside of work, Lachlan enjoys life with his wife and two sons. A self-proclaimed sports fanatic, he’s always keen to discuss the weekend’s sporting results. Recently, he’s developed a passion for golf and is constantly looking for ways to fit a few holes into his day. Lachlan is a long-suffering Broncos fan and, as a born-and-bred local, a loyal Queensland supporter through and through.
