An owl surveys the surveyor – Wagher Road, Thompson

There are a number of different classes of surveys, and we have experience performing all of them.  The price of the survey depends on the required accuracy class and the size, shape, and field conditions of the property. Some of the most common surveying services that J & D provides are described below.
