How much does a survey cost?

Survey costs vary depending on various factors:

• Type of Survey Required
• Surveyor's Knowledge of Area
• Existing Site Conditions/Terrain
• Size of Site
• Availability of Recorded Information
• Existing Monumentation on Site
• Liability Incurred by Surveyor
• Amount of Information Supplied by Client

Since every site is different and because conditions and requirements vary, it is difficult to determine an exact fee quickly. A surveyor can give a better cost when all the variables associated with the site have been studied. It is important to realize that the lowest fee is not always best for the surveyor or the client. Bad surveys can end up costing the client time and emotional pain not to mention more money. A well prepared survey will be the least expensive part of your total land investment cost.
