What Factors Affect the Cost of a Land Survey?
As mentioned, there are a number of factors that affect the cost of a land survey. We have listed the most common factors, helping you understand them better:
Location
Where your property is located does play a role in the price of your land survey. It's not uncommon for rural areas to experience a higher price, as surveyors need to make their way to your property, which may take considerably longer than a city or town. In addition to this, we also take any natural hazards into consideration, such as forests or wetlands, that can increase the complexity of your survey, thereby increasing the price slightly.
Size
If you have a small two bedroom house you need surveying, it will be cheaper to survey than a large complex commercial building, for example. The bigger the property, the longer it takes to carry out the on-site survey. The time we spend putting your survey into place plays a role in the overall cost.
Complexity
The property complexity does play a major role in the land survey cost. This is due to:
- Our surveyor needs to determine what is located on the property. If you have numerous buildings, easements, natural features, etc, then there is more work for the surveyor to complete during the survey. The surveyor is going to need to assess everything, which takes longer to complete, thereby increasing the cost.
- If your property has a complex legal description, it takes longer for our survey to complete an accurate picture on the legal status of the property. The more time they spend carrying out your survey, the higher the price will be.

It is very difficult for us to provide you with an exact quote without knowing the full details of your property, it's location, size, and complexity.
