Here's the thinking about our profession:

Potential Client:
My property located at ************** Hayward, Ca, the size of my lot is 150' x 276' long and I built home on the front part of the house.
The corner marks are exposed and I am thinking to build about 1200 s/f home on
the back area which is relatively level . and on the topo I have to show the location of the existing home and have
the slope percentage which is about 14% from street .
I will be a truthful and tell you I have the amount of ( $1,000.00 ) budget , if you interested please let
me know

Surveyor:
I can definitely tell you my fees to map out your property will be $ #,### to $ #,###
If your on a tight budget, I wish you good luck.

Potential Client:
In response to your proposal , regardless of my budget for 35 years as a licensed general contractor and builder
I never paid for lousy topo that kind of price , for the existing topo that i have paid only $700.
your price is consider as rip off. it's only less than two hours work.

[MikeT]

Good luck to that guy to find someone.

[Dave Lindell]

The sad part is that he will find someone to do it for his price.

After all, it's only "a couple of hours work."

I agree with your prospective client-lousy topos should be under $1000.
Awesome topos are on a different scale and fee schedule.
CLSA members don't do lousy topos, we do awesome topos.
