In 1920, Alexander Graham established a Perth based survey practice to serve the needs of public and private business sectors in the property and mining industries.

They joined the Australia-wide Whelans network in 1988.
The Western Australian services evolved from traditional surveying and mapping areas to include urban and regional planning, land asset management and 3D spatial solutions. Whelans acquired WKC Spatial, a specialist provider in pipeline construction projects across Australia as well as surveying and subsurface solutions.
