Land Surveying Quote Template
Survey type, standard, deliverable and turnaround for a closing calendar. Free PDF, no sign-up.
A surveyor quotes because the product is defined by a standard rather than by a conversation: an ALTA/NSPS survey is a specified document with specified table items, and a boundary survey is another. The parcel size, the record research and the crew day are all knowable in advance. What the price cannot know is the record — an overlap or a gap in the deeds turns a field day into a research problem, and that belongs in the terms in advance.

What this quote commits you to
- How long it stands
- 45 days, which is long enough for a due-diligence calendar to run without the fee being asked for twice.
- What it does not cover
- Recording fees, county plat review, monuments a reviewer demands after the fact, and title research beyond the documents supplied.
- What would change the price
- Boundary evidence that conflicts with the record — an overlap, a gap, or an occupation line that needs additional research to resolve.
- How the client accepts it
- Sign and return the survey agreement; field crews are scheduled in the order signed agreements arrive.

What to put on a land surveying quote
- The survey type by name, and the standard it is performed to
- For an ALTA survey, which optional Table A items are included
- Parcel size and the number of corners expected to be set or recovered
- Deliverable: a sealed plat, a CAD file, or both, and how many copies
- Turnaround from instruction, stated against the closing date if there is one
- Monumentation — which corners get a marker and what kind
- Recording and county review fees, passed through rather than absorbed
Questions
Why does an ALTA survey cost more than a boundary survey?
Because it is a different document with a national standard behind it, and the Table A items a lender selects add real field and office work. Naming the selected items on the quote is what makes two ALTA prices comparable at all.
What should a survey quote say about the record?
That the price assumes the deeds supplied describe the parcel consistently. When occupation, record and monuments disagree, the resolution is research and professional judgement — real hours that no amount of field efficiency avoids.
How long should a surveying quote stand?
Long enough to survive a real estate calendar, which is why forty-five days is the sensible length. A price that expires inside a due-diligence period is a price the client has to ask for twice.
About the free quote generator
Is this quote generator really free?
Yes. There is no fee, no trial period and no watermark on the PDF. Nothing on this page requires a credit card.
What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?
A quote is a fixed price you are offering to hold, and it is binding on you once the client accepts it. An estimate is your best projection of the cost and can move if the job does. If the scope is not settled yet, send an estimate instead.
Is a quote legally binding?
Once a client accepts it within the period it stands, a quote generally forms a contract at that price — the details depend on your jurisdiction and on what the document itself says. That is why the price, the scope and the exclusions all belong in writing, and why the document prints the date the offer expires.
How long should a quote be valid until?
Thirty days is the common default, and two weeks is sensible when materials prices are moving. Whatever you choose, state it on the quote: an offer with no expiry is an offer you have made for ever.
Can I raise the price after the client accepts?
Not unilaterally, which is the point of quoting rather than estimating. What you can do is price the variations the client asks for afterwards, provided the quote said what was and was not included.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Fill in the form and download the PDF directly — there is no sign-up and no login for this tool.
Can the client accept the quote online?
Not from a downloaded PDF. Saving the quote to an account gives it a link the client opens and answers on, and the acceptance is recorded against the document rather than living in an email thread.
Can I use this for any currency or country?
Yes. Choose any currency and country for either party — the totals and formatting follow your selection.
