Two parcels, each roughly 1320 x 330, less everything north of the county road so they turn out to be 7+ acres each.?ÿ
Trees. Lots of trees. Evergreens. Currently wet. GPS will suck. Blackberries, Devil's Club.?ÿ
Described by aliquot parts. No easy section breakdown of record so off we go to visit the corners.?ÿ Might be able to GPS some of the section corners.?ÿ
Final product is staked corners and a recorded map, no topo.
It's hard enough around here to price from County to County and I'm in a Metes and Bounds State, no way I could give you an educated number. I will, however, tell you that I know a guy that gives a minimum price where the "no less than" is based on a price per foot and when he's done he calculates his time vs his hourly rates for each task and the bill delivered represents the higher number.
It's that per-foot pricing I'd like to hear more about. I've got a "square root of the perimeter times a multiplier" formula for the estimate.?ÿ?ÿ

Are you trying to figure out how long it will take or how much you should charge? If you know how long it will take, roughly, then the second part should follow pretty easily. Only you know how much your time is worth to you.
An arm, a leg and all the tea in China.
sounds like a fun job
But of course it varies, I can do that in a day in open ground with section corners in place, in dense timber,,,,,,,you didn't say if it's broken country or down in the flats.
steep. too steep to build. too steep to even think of building.

(perimeter + nearest tie corner) x every penny I think I can get away with = Survey Quote
I'd need to know a lot more about the site to provide any kind of meaningful price. At best you are going to doing a few miles of line cutting and traversing a few hundred feet at a step to get the quarter section broken out. And it can easily get much worse. For those not familiar with Half Bubble's part of the world the original surveys were done c.1900 and monumented with wooden posts, which were probably all completely rotted away even before the first cut logging happened sometime before 1970.?ÿ So forget about bearing trees or any original GLO stuff.?ÿ Devils Club is almost a good sign because that doesn't come back until the regrowth is more mature and the undergrowth is less luxuriant.?ÿ ?ÿ?ÿ
I would start my thinking in the $25k range. It could go to $50k easily. The good part is that then you would be the guy who had that section broken out.?ÿ?ÿ

Is that of any advantage in a recording state?
Not as much as in a non-recording state, but you don't record all your control, etc.?ÿ So it is an advantage.

What do you mean by control?

What do you mean by control?
Traverse points, etc.?ÿ Remember, in this part of the world the tree canopy requires that more than 90% of the work is done with the total station, and that traverse legs are often limited to a few hundred feet. Having a record that shows the relative locations of section corners is great, but it often takes 8- 10 traverse legs to make a half mile, that won't be shown.?ÿ

Too bad they all arent that way. Very few folks walk any lines looking for controlling intermediate monuments or other evidence these days. I see folks price jobs like this for $1300. It's embarrassing.

Seriously? Wow. That's bad. Really bad.?ÿ
