Site size is the most obvious factor, a small residential plot costs considerably less to survey than a large commercial site or extended linear route. Ground complexity also matters: a site with dense, layered infrastructure takes longer to survey accurately than an open site with few known services. The detection method required affects cost too, a straightforward electromagnetic cable detection survey is generally less expensive than a full PAS128 survey combining GPR and electromagnetic detection to a higher quality level. Access and site constraints, such as restricted working hours, occupied buildings or difficult terrain, can also add time and therefore cost.

Because these factors vary so much from site to site, any fixed price list would either be inaccurate for most projects or so heavily caveated it wouldn’t actually help you plan. Instead, we ask a few quick questions about your site and requirements and provide a genuine quote based on your specific project, rather than a generic starting price that rarely reflects what you’ll actually pay.

To give you an accurate cost, we’ll typically need to know the site location and approximate size, the type of survey required (for example, cable detection, PAS128, or a desktop search), and any known access constraints or timescales. With this information, we can usually provide a quote quickly, without needing to visit the site first in most cases.
