Yes surveying is expensive

I get calls all the time wanting to know the cost of a survey like there is one price that covers any situation. If you are going to a ask a builder how much it will cost to build a house, don't you think he would want to know a few things about what you want to build?

There can be a lot to doing even a simple lot survey. You need a copy of the plat from the courthouse. You might need to look up seperate restrictions. Does the title company need the schedule B on it showing all the restrictions? What is the size of the lot. Is it a recent plat where you would expect to find corners or is it old and likely that there will be no corners there?

If you are calling to get a price and the company is not asking thinks about the job... beware. Is the surveyor using current equipment, has it been calibrated recently? Are his crews professional are is it just some kids that will work cheap. Is the company insured, liability, auto, workers comp and professional liability. Do they have an office that is staffed and are the phones ansewered? These things cost money, but it can save you in the long run.
