How much will a survey cost?
We do not have a standard fee for performing a survey. The cost of the survey depends on many factors like the type of survey being performed, location of survey, size of parcel, previous survey work performed in the area, age of previous surveys, availability of existing survey marks and type of vegetation on the parcel. These factors determine how long a survey will take which will influence the cost of the survey.
We believe we offer cost-effective surveying services. Surveying fees are not simply about the field work - costs include government searches, materials, office calculations, travel, plan drafting, administrative asks etc. Government searches required to perform boundary surveys are often hundreds of dollars before any pre-field calculations, field survey or plan drafting is undertaken. Accommodation and meals (if required) are charged at cost and therefore keeping your costs to a minimum.

How long will the survey take?
Each survey is different. To give you an idea, a boundary identification survey on a standard residential lot in Cairns can usually be performed in the field in one day and the entire survey service including preparation, obtaining government searches, field survey, plan drafting and quality assurance may take only one to two weeks. Whereas a rural subdivision in heavily vegetated country may take several days or even weeks in the field and several days or weeks in survey preparation, searches, plan drafting and quality assurance. When the survey can be performed will depend on our existing commitments and workloads. Like many professions, it is usual for there to be a 3-6 week lead time prior to commencing work so please contact us early if you have specific time frames you are working towards.
