Brian was great. I had a rush job for a new plat of survey and he was able to make it happen. Inclement weather was an issue, but he kept me informed through those days and was at my property just as soon as the weather allowed; from there, his work was quick, efficient, and professional, and done at a fair rate. I highly recommend him.

Very well. The company was prompt and efficient. They located my property pins, staked the property, and provides six signed/sealed copies of the plat.

Price seemed low. So I researched my records. I have no record of a customer named [Member Name Removed] Nor do I have a record for doing a property survey at [Member Information Removed] Dr in the last four years. Something isn't right. Thanks for the 'A' review anyways.

Brian and his helper showed up and spent the time required to accurately survey the property. More than just the side properly line but the property in total. They invested the time to do the job correctly and left me with clear property line markers and the printed survey documentation to support it. Brian did a professional job.
Description of Work: Survey the property to identify which side of the property line a fence lies. Unfortunately it's on the properly line instead of being on one side or the other.

After receiving my call, Brian responded via text message and asked if we needed the survey soon. I said yes, and he responded by saying he wasn't interested. It is now January, and the weather is too cold for him I guess.

Why do I get an F score for choosing not to do new work out in the snow/ice? Try working outside in January - it's possible but a lot harder than when the weather is above freezing.

Brian is a polite and professional individual and while his schedule meant the work took a few weeks, he delivered the plat as he said. He communicated the steps without any hassle or concern from me.

During this peal season of surveying Brian was the only surveyor that would commit to do the job. It was nice to work with somebody that does what they say they will do, when they said they will do it. I will defiantly recommend and use his services again.

I called this provider for an estimate. He was higher than everyone else contacted and did not seem interested in doing the work. When I told him that everyone else was $50 less than him he refused to do the work. He told me to go find someone else. He seemed very disagreeable.

Response from Premier Land Surveying
This individual was looking for the lowest price. That's fine. If you’re looking for the lowest price please do not call Premier Land Surveying. I'm not interested in competing on price. I'm interested in competing on service; possibly timing. Certainly not price. I get very frustrated when I give a price quote and then the person wants to haggle. How did this person treat me as a Design Professional? Certainly with no respect to the price I quoted. I just gave a price and this person gets upset that I don't know my competitors are cheaper? I don't call my competitors pricing shopping. I figure out what it'll take for us to do the job and quote the fee. Of course I get turned off and frustrated when the attempt at haggling starts. Consider this: a high school graduate can sooner get a JD degree (attorney) and open their own law practice than get a surveying degree and open their own surveying practice. Why doesn't the general public treat us surveyors with respect? I think because the general public doesn’t understand surveying. Often the client is calling because someone else told them they need the survey (permitting, loans, and improvements). I'm glad this person went with another surveyor. I need clients who understand and respect the land surveying profession. Not clients that are just looking for the lowest price on what the general public often thinks is a commodity. Surveying is not a commodity and there are many differences between each surveying company and the product (survey) they issue. Also this individual obviously didn’t even read my business description before calling me.

I wouldn't typically write a review for a non service like this but when I called they were very personable, and were happy to refer me to somebody closer. Furthermore, I wasn't quite sure how the process worked and they explained in detail and at the end of the conversation that if I had any more questions not to hesitate to call them back, knowing full and well they weren't getting my business. I will be giving them a call again if I get a project up that way, you just don't find people like that anymore.

I called Premier and spoke to Brian. He explained the process to me. He was very busy and probably wouldn't have time that week to come out. At the end of our conversation he said might be able to squeeze me in at the end of the week. I decided to keep searching for another company since it was such a hot project for me.
Description of Work: I was getting a new fence installed. They had taken down my old fence and now couldn't find the property pins. My existing plat of survey didn't help so I needed to get a new one asap since I didn't have a fence and I have a dog.

The process went extremely well. We found that we would need a new plat of survey after we had scheduled construction of a new fence. When we explained the situation to Brian, he worked us in on his already busy schedule, and had the plat of survey back to us within a couple of days. Price was very competitive.

Brian came in at an extremely reasonable price compared to other surveyors I contacted through Angies List. He was prompt in responding to my email. From the date we agreed on a price to the date he gave me my surveys took 5 business days. This made it so much easier to get the tree trimming and fencing estimates in place.

Premier Land Surveying was on Angie's List with an A rating. Brian was quite helpful and informative during our first phone call. He gave me a competitive quote and agreed to do the survey in the next few days. There was good communication from him and he knew exactly how to go about getting this done. He ran into some roadblocks with the County, but perservered and worked through the project promptly. The final survey looked just great. The City of Naperville accepted it immediately, and I got my permit within a few minutes. This is a top notch outfit, and I would recommend them to anyone. John W. Anderson, Naperville, IL

Brian was superb, he was very knowledgeable and professional. He completely explained the process to me. I had called several others and Brian was the most forth coming with different aspects of just what a survey included and not. He gave me his next available date and arrived just as he said.

Brian was a bit off-putting insofar as he immediately starting telling me how other surveyors were "not licensed professionals" and that's why their prices would be lower. He quoted me $450 with 3 weeks notice, and $900 for 1 week, and $1350 for 24 hr notice. He was honest, but his audible irritation with my "comparison shopping" was a deal killer.

Response from Premier Land Surveying
CLEARLY THE MEMBER MISUNDERSTOOD ME. TO ANY OTHER SURVEYOR READING THIS IN NO WAY DID I SAY OTHER SURVEYORS ARE NOT LICENSED AND I AM OFFENDED THAT HIS REMARKS INDICATE THAT I HAVE SLANDERED OTHER SURVEYORS AND SURVEYING COMPANIES. AS FOR THE CHARGE THAT OTHER SURVEYORS ARE "NOT LICENSED PROFESSIONALS" THAT IS FALSE! PRICING - I DO CHARGE FOR TIMING. THE PRICES ARE DIFFERENT FOR VARIOUS REASONS, MY WORK LOAD, TIMING, TYPE OF SURVEY AND LOCATION. PERSONALLY I AM A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL SURVEYOR WHO WILL ACTUALLY COME OUT TO YOUR SITE AND DO THE FIELD WORK MYSELF (BESIDES THE OFFICE WORK). MANY LICENSED PROFESSIONAL SURVEYORS SUPERVISE CREWS THAT ARE MADE UP OF LICENSED AND UNLICENSED PERSONAL. WHEN REQUESTING A QUOTE FOR A SURVEY PLEASE HAVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION READY: WHY YOU NEED THE SURVEY, PROPERTY ADDRESS, PROPERTY DESCRIPTION (DEED), PROPERTY TAX NUMBER, TYPE OF SURVEY, TIME FRAME OF WHEN YOU NEED THE SURVEY DELIVERED. SECONDLY DETERMINE WHAT YOU ARE GETTING FOR YOUR MONEY -- WHO IS COMING TO YOU PROPERTY, WHO WILL DO THE OFFICE WORK, WHO WILL SIGN OFF ON THE SURVEY. THE LEVELS OF LICENSING IN ILLINOIS ARE PROFESSIONAL LAND SURVEYOR, SURVEYOR IN TRAINING. ALSO THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL SURVEYORS (NSPS) SPONSORS A COMPREHENSIVE NATIONAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR SURVEY TECHNICIANS. THE NATIONAL CERTIFICATION IS FOR UNLICENSED CAREER ORIENTATED INDIVIDUALS AND HAVE FOUR LEVELS, SEE HTTP://WWW.NSPSMO.ORG/CST/GET_CERTIFIED.SHTML

I contacted Mr. Plautz. Along with two other firms. Regarding a possible survey for landscaping purposes. Mr. Plautz looked at our old survey, did some on-line investigation. Gave us advice. Even though we decided not to go ahead with any survey because of the cost. He was prompt in his replies to my contacting him and sending information. Very considerate. A delight to deal with.

I was very happy with Brian's work. He was here on schedule and returned on a Saturday when he couldn't finish in time. He usually returned calls within an hour.
Description of Work: I had him do a plot of survey because I'm putting in a deck. Cost reflects a little over an acre.
