Just out of curiosity, what was included in the cost? Boundary survey, topographic survey, wetlands, site plan, etc? Each additional service adds to the cost.

Just my .02 after some 40 years in the profession.
I asked the surveyor if his proposal included elevation changes and he replied “using NH state Lidar data”. Is this what I need to go to builders and architects? Is there another way to map out elevation changes? I’m a bit out of
my league. This surveyor does seem like he is a straight shooter and honest so maybe it is worth it to pay up and move forward? I can hardly wait until I get to the builders.
