Frequently Asked Questions

Survey costs vary based on property size, terrain complexity, required research, and the type of survey needed. Most surveys start around $2,000 and go up from there depending on project scope. Contact us for a free, detailed quote specific to your project.
Most residential surveys can be completed within 1-3 weeks from approval, including fieldwork and deliverable preparation. Simple fence surveys may be faster, while complex projects like subdivisions take longer due to agency processing. We'll provide a timeline estimate when quoting your project.
You don't need to be present during fieldwork, though we appreciate access to your property. We'll coordinate with you on access requirements and notify you when we'll be on-site. For some projects, a brief meeting to discuss your goals can be helpful.

Property corners are typically marked with iron pipes, rebar, or survey monuments. Over time, these can become buried or disturbed. A professional survey will locate existing markers or set new ones if needed. Don't rely on fences or other features—they may not be on the actual boundary.
