The work / Scope & starting prices
These starting prices cover a typical single residential lot in Maple Crossing. Acreage, missing records, dense brush and difficult access change the scope.
Times below begin after you approve the written scope and provide the records and access we need. They include fieldwork and the finished deliverable; weather may extend them.
From $1,200
2–3 weeks
Record research, field measurements, recovered or set corners, and a signed plat of the boundary. A typical field visit takes 3–5 hours.
Bring: the deed or legal description, any existing survey, and a title report if you have one.
From $450
5–7 business days
Visible stakes along one established boundary, with the spacing agreed in the quote. Allow 1–2 hours on site. If the boundary has not been established, a boundary survey comes first and is quoted separately.
Bring: the existing survey and a sketch showing which line you want marked.
From $650
7–10 business days
Field elevations and a completed certificate for the building and purpose agreed in the scope. Allow 1–2 hours on site, with access to the relevant floor levels and equipment.
Bring: the requesting party’s instructions, any prior certificate and the property’s site or building plan, if available.
From $850
2–3 weeks
A measured drawing of visible improvements on a previously surveyed lot, using verified boundary records. Allow 2–3 hours on site. New boundary determination and subdivision plats need a separate scope.
Bring: the previous survey, deed and the drawing requirements from whoever will receive the plat.
A boundary survey already includes its boundary plat. We do not charge for a second drawing when that same plat meets your needs.
Before the crew arrives
Often, yes. Deep snow may hide markers, frozen ground may prevent setting stakes, and ice may block safe access. We confirm conditions before the field visit. Record research can usually continue while fieldwork waits.
A surveyor shows where the line is; an attorney settles disputes. Our work documents the boundary evidence and measurements.
We review the records, lot size, access and required deliverable before sending a written quote. We agree on any change in scope before additional work.
A fence, a building project or a document someone has asked for. We’ll start with that.
