In
most circumstances the fee for work carried out by Paterson Pitts
is determined on a time and cost basis. In engineering work the
charges are usually governed by the value of the work being designed
and supervised.
Often it is not possible to give a fixed quotation for survey work
because every survey task is unique and considerable investigation
may be needed on-site to determine how much new survey work is required.
Paterson Pitts’ staff will explain the work required and discuss
the likely costs.
When land is being subdivided, much of the cost incurred is not
our fees but the charges made by Local Authorities (e.g. consent
application fees, reserve and other financial contributions), utility
company fees (electricity, telephone, gas) or Land Information NZ
fees for the lodgement of plans and issue of new titles, and the
contract administration costs for roading and services.
