Flat-Rate Prices.
No Surprises.
A licensed surveyor in your area charges $1,000–$3,000+ and takes 1–3 weeks. We charge $129–$349 and deliver in 24–48 hours. Same permit outcome for most residential jobs.
The price you see is the price you pay — no hidden fees, no hourly billing, no travel charges.
Your address doesn't change the price. Austin, TX and rural Vermont pay exactly the same rate.
If your permit office requests changes, we revise and redeliver within 24 hours. No extra charge.
Custom and commercial projects get a fixed quote within 4 hours before any work begins.
