Reply to "How much should one charge for measuring a course"

Professional services are what we sell. Or, at least perform in our duties as measurers. Standards for accuracy are established, and met before certification is granted. Checks and balances are in place similar to professional peer review of calculations.

A typical boundary survey on something 100 acres or more in open-land might run $0.50/ft. if the terrain is forgiving. $0.25/ft. if we can use a 4-wheeler.

Who wouldn't do a marathon for $35k-$70k? We only need to measure it once!

Good closure would be a bit less than 14'. Or 1/10,000. Ten times the accuracy, ten times the cost.

A "total station" costs $10k, so don't drop it in the river...

Hmm. Being 10 times less accurate than survey gear, the JR should cost $1,000 right?
