Hi all,

 

We've done surveys for years and years and I've always had to tight with the customers (usually national companies) over survey costs.   Some seem to think that we can examine each and every aspect of the building in twenty minutes and only want to pay accordingly.   Others realize that a good survey does take time, plus the office time to scan/email the photos, plus the inevitable call asking about some small detail, plus plus plus.   So what amount of time do you allot for a standard (yes I know that there really isn't anything "standard" in the sign business so let's call it 'regular') shopping center survey with a sign band and perhaps a tenant panel in the pylon and some window dimensions?   I'm not asking what you charge, because that rate varies from area to area, but how much time do you charge for?   Or at least try to charge for.    i usually allot two or two and a half hours including travel time for an average survey.   i have one employee who seems to think that 3-4 hours each is very fast.  i don't send him out too often.
