Trusted Land Surveyors in Colchester

Pricing of surveys is carried out by a director who will assess how long it will take to survey the site to the specification provided using a combination of experience, size of the survey area and by viewing the site either directly or on aerial/other photographs. This figure is then multiplied by our daily rate for a survey team and a travel adjustment added if necessary plus the cost of any extra-ordinary items required such as lighting, traffic management etc. to give a total price. We normally quote on a fixed price basis (exclusive of VAT) unless a day/hour rate is specifically requested.

On receipt of an initial enquiry, contact details are logged and a quotation number assigned by the office manager and these, together with any paperwork provided, are passed to one of the directors. The director then assesses the specification and plan provided and if necessary contacts the enquirer. On large or difficult projects a site visit for quotation may also be necessary.

Underground metallic services are detected using equipment which picks up electromagnetic or radio waves which are naturally concentrated and conducted by metallic pipes and cable.
