This short answer is, "It depends on what you need to have done."

Surveying is like any other profession when it comes to the cost of competent services. It is not usually in the best interest of the public to hire someone because they give you the least cost for your need. A cheap survey usually costs more in the long run than a properly priced product.

One type of survey may only take a few hours to do and others may take days to complete.

Your surveyor should gather specific information from you about the project and your needs and provide you with a reasonable cost to perform the needed work.
