A: It doesn’t matter. We do not expect you to know what type of survey you need; only what you need to do with the survey. We can work out the rest for you.

Q: Do you give a written Quote?

A: We always give you a written quote and a scope of works with no hidden charges. Work cannot commence without a returned acceptance of the written quote.

Q: How long does a survey take?

A: Each survey is different, so it’s difficult to give an answer. An identification survey report can be done within 1 week, a detail survey may take 3 weeks and a subdivision can take considerably longer.
