re: Anyone on here a certified land surveyor?

I was partners with my brother who was a PE so we could provide surveying and engineering services. We had upwards of 20 employees. Since the beginning of the year we are both retired and his sons own the business.

I put surveying in two categories, residential and industrial/commercial. If in the residential and have an office you will get beat up on price with guys working solo out of their home and most will cut their fees to the bone when work is slow.

The companies who need surveying services, pipeline/plants/developers, want a quality product and is willing to pay top dollar for it. This was about 75% of our clients.

Our salaries were well north of 100K. The non owner PLS is in the 75-90K range depending on the bonus.
