...to never get roped into another ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey with HUD. They are a major PITA. This time I thought to myself "Well self, since you know in advance that it is a HUD Project you will be prepared, and have an appropriate fee, so it wont be so bad." Boy was I WRONG. I will never willingly do a HUD ALTA again.

Amen. The last one I survived was about eight years ago. The only thing good about it was it was in Lawton and I had the pleasure if taking Daryl and Michael to lunch at the Tex-Mex restaurant.
Haven't touched one since. Good riddance.
I've done a couple, and yeah, kind of a pain.

Care to educate the uninitiated? or do I have to find out on my own?

My biggest problem was every time someone would review my survey and shoot it up the pipeline I would get a call with requests for revisions...usually unnecessary and petty.

That doesn't look that bad. Its only 2 pages and answers for the 10 item list should all be "see attached survey".B-)

Yes I just did one, went round and round about the extra certification they require. Alta just isnt good enough for them . I felt kinda of dirty after that survey.
20k minimum "estimate" to start, for sites under 5 acres...
Contract with a "every time my phone rings, or email pops up" is automatic approval of T&M pricing to address item. No cap on T&M clause. Every request for revision is change order priced at T&M plus 10%....
Yeah, not my idea of a good time, or even time well spent anymore, I'm just not a fan... if you can't tell.
