Common challenges our customers face — and how we help.
Are real estate agents and attorneys recommending other surveyors?
Referral partners recommend surveyors they trust and can easily contact. Without a professional website showing your services, turnaround times, and contact information, referrals go elsewhere.
Is scheduling and field coordination consuming your office staff's day?
Phone-based scheduling, crew dispatching, and project status tracking are time-intensive. Without streamlined systems, administrative costs eat into survey margins.
Are clients frustrated by long turnaround times?
Real estate transactions have deadlines. When surveys take 3-4 weeks, buyers get anxious, agents get frustrated, and your reputation suffers — even if the delay is standard for the industry.
Do clients struggle to understand why surveys cost what they do?
When a homebuyer hears $500 for a survey, they think it is expensive. Without educating clients on the research, fieldwork, and legal significance involved, price objections are constant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers.
How much does a survey cost?
Residential boundary surveys typically range from $400-$800 depending on lot size, terrain, and deed complexity. Commercial and ALTA surveys are quoted based on scope. We provide firm quotes before work begins.
How long does a survey take?
Residential surveys are typically completed within 1-2 weeks from scheduling. Commercial and ALTA surveys may take 2-4 weeks. Rush services are available for time-sensitive transactions.
Do I need a survey to build a fence?
We strongly recommend it. Building a fence on the wrong side of your property line can result in costly disputes, removal, and legal liability. A survey is a small investment to avoid big problems.
What is the difference between a boundary survey and an ALTA survey?
A boundary survey establishes property lines. An ALTA survey is more comprehensive, including easements, encroachments, zoning, flood zone, and access — typically required for commercial transactions and title insurance.
What Our Customers Say
Don't just take our word for it — hear from our satisfied customers.
“They completed our boundary survey in 5 days when other firms quoted 3 weeks. The survey revealed our neighbor's fence was 4 feet onto our property. Money well spent.”
Ashley White
“We use them exclusively for all our ALTA surveys. They have never missed a closing deadline and their thoroughness has prevented title issues on multiple transactions.”
Sarah Johnson
“The drone survey of our 200-acre development site was completed in a single day. The topographic data was incredibly detailed and saved weeks compared to traditional methods.”
Michael Smith
“Their construction staking was spot-on. Our foundation contractor said it was the most accurate staking he had worked with in 20 years. That precision prevents expensive mistakes.”
