How Much will a survey cost?
You can request an estimated cost of the survey you need. The surveyor's cost estimate will be based on the anticipated difficulty and estimated time needed to complete the required tasks. Fees can be estimated, but since every property and its chain of title is different, the surveyor cannot always predict the amount of work required to recover and analyze the best evidence. The amount of time required to obtain field measurements and make boundary determinations depends on the availability and proximity of the physical and written evidence. The surveyor will be able to provide you with a cost estimate based upon an hourly rate, experience with similar jobs, and a general knowledge of the area, but actual costs may not be known until the project is completed.
What type of survey should be requested for design of new construction?
Whenever new construction is proposed, the preparation of a boundary and topographic survey will enable the architect or engineer to determine the existing site conditions for the design of the proposed improvement. Our team will ask key questions to determine what sort of detail is required to provide what the design professionals require along with the requirements of the governing agencies when applicable.
