Free Property Surveyor
Service Agreement
One misplaced iron pin sends you straight into a six-figure negligence lawsuit that'll liquidate your bank account. You're risking your license and your gear for a client who'll dump your invoice the second the dirt starts moving.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to cap your financial exposure at the total cost of the contract so one bad measurement doesn't cost you your house.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Property Surveyor, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The client wants me to 'adjust' a line to help them clear a setback. How do I say no?
Your contract must state you follow professional standards and local law, not client whims; a written agreement protects your license by proving you were hired for an objective survey, not a creative drawing.
What do I do if the site is a jungle and I have to spend all day swinging a machete?
Put a 'Site Conditions' clause in your agreement that triggers additional hourly labor charges for brush clearing or obstruction removal so you aren't doing manual labor for free.
The developer is stalling on the final payment but needs the signed seal to close the deal. What's the move?
No check, no seal. Your contract should stipulate that the final certified documents are only released upon receipt of full payment, giving you the only leverage that actually works on a job site.
