How Much Do Your Services Cost?
posted 30th July 2024
When it comes to having your property or piece of land surveyed, it's important to secure a fair price, without compromising on the quality of the survey. Accuracy and precision are essential when it comes to measured building surveys, reducing the risk of unexpected delays and additional costs in the long run.
How much do your services cost? There is no quick answer to this, the cost is based on numerous factors. The size and complexity of the property, its location, and the level of detail required, all contribute to the overall cost of our services.
In order to achieve the best price for your survey, we recommend you consider your requirements, making an informed decision on the best survey solution to meet your building needs.
What Affects the Cost of a Measured Building Survey?
Important things influencing how much we charge for surveys in the UK:
Property Size
The size of the property will impact the cost of our services. Larger properties take longer to survey and document our findings, when compared to smaller properties. In general, if you are wanting a survey on a larger piece of land or a large building, it will cost more than smaller properties and pieces of land.
Building with complex features or a larger number of rooms also tend to cost more than their smaller counterparts.
Property Location
Your location is going to play a role in the cost of your survey. Remote and difficult to access areas tend to be more expensive than those in cites and towns with easy access.
Level of Accuracy
Of course you expect your measured building survey to be accurate and our team at MB Survey Solutions ensure the highest level of accuracy at all times. It's important to note that high levels of accuracy do tend to take longer to complete, which can impact the price. We are happy to discuss accuracy with you, helping you find a price you can afford, that works into your construction budget.
Details and Drawings
The cost associated with measured bundling surveys are impacted by how much time we spend on site, along with how much desk time is required after the site-visit to assess and sort the data. If you need more drawings, such as roof plans, elevations, and sections, this will take longer than someone that only wants floor plans, for example.
An Example of Surveying Costs
To give you an example of how we work out the cost of our services, we have put an example together. Imaging asking for a measured building survey for a three bedroom home. This is to include floor plans, elevations and sections.
The cost of the survey will include:
- Carrying out a site survey using 3D laser scanners
- Producing CAD drawings and 3D models
- Making any amendments.
For this you can expect to pay between £1,000 and £2,000. Remember if you add additional drawings to the mix, the price can increase.
As the owner of a three bedroom home you ask for two floor plans and four elevations, this could cost around £1,600 plus vat. Increase the size of the home to four bedrooms with two floor plans, four elevations, one loft plan, and one section, the price can increase to £1,850 plus vat.
Conclusion
Every property is unique from the size of the land it sits on to the size of the property. Our surveys range from small home renovations to large office building constructions, shopping malls, and more.
