ContactWhat does a crew hour really cost you, with burden, the truck, the instruments and the office behind it? Most survey owners price from a rate set years ago and adjusted by feel. I build your true burdened crew rate and your net revenue per field hour from your own payroll, time and books, then track both every month, by service line: boundary, ALTA, topo, staking, elevation certificates.

Illustrative example (hypothetical numbers, not a client result): if a crew hour costs $96 to put in the field and you need about $137 to cover overhead and a fair margin, every 1,000 field hours billed at the old rate leaves roughly $41,000 on the table. Every year, until the rate changes.
The first conversation is about finding out what your numbers are.
See pricingIf succession is on your mind, whether that means a partner, a key employee or an outside buyer, the same numbers matter: clean books, documented pricing, and a few years of steady results by service line. They make that conversation easier and give you more options when the time comes.
That work runs alongside the monthly review, not as a separate project. Firms actively preparing for a sale usually fit the Partner tier.
