Land surveyor — topographic surveys and boundary staking
A land survey is needed before buying a plot, for a house design and on the building site: topographic surveys, staking out boundaries and axes, as-built surveys. Describe the plot and the job in an order, and surveyors will send responses. Or choose one yourself by prices and client reviews.
Land surveyors
How much a land survey costs
What affects the price
Plot size and buildings
An empty, level plot is surveyed faster than the same plot with a house, a garden, ravines and utilities: the more detail, the more points have to be taken in the field.
Underground utilities
Mapping underground pipes and cables and getting the survey approved by the utility owners is a separate job that is often charged extra.
Number of points and visits
Boundary staking is often charged by the number of corner points, construction support by the visit: foundation axes, wall checks, an as-built survey.
Existing boundary coordinates
If the plot has a cadastral number and accurate coordinates, the boundaries are staked from them. Old data in a local coordinate system often has to be recalculated first.
Land documents
Technical documentation is a separate job from the survey. Ask what the cost includes: the survey, boundary markers, the documentation itself and support until the plot is registered.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a land surveyor
- 1
Certificate for land documentation
By law, technical documentation for land is prepared by a certified land management engineer, alone or within a company. Ask for the certificate number. Nexperity does not check certificates.
- 2
Your job in their services
A topographic survey for a design, construction support and land documents are different work. Look for a surveyor whose services and portfolio include exactly your job.
- 3
Instruments and calibration
Ask what they will work with: a GNSS receiver, a total station or a drone, and whether the instruments have passed metrological verification.
- 4
What you will receive
Agree on what you will get: a plan as a PDF and a file for the architect, a boundary staking report, stakes or boundary markers on the ground.
- 5
Timing of the visit and processing
Ask when the surveyor can come out and how long processing will take after the survey. In winter, snow and frozen ground can make the work harder.
What to put in the order
What you need: a topographic survey, staking out boundaries or axes, an as-built survey or land documentation
Plot area and what is on it: a house, trees, a fence, changes in level
Whether there is a cadastral number and documents with boundary coordinates
What the result is for: a house design, construction, buying a plot or land paperwork
The construction stage, if axes need staking or an as-built survey is needed
When you need the result and whether repeat visits will be needed
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
