No one does. Acre is a relative term. Perimeter is what we survey and perimeter is what is priced. A square 1 acre has 840’ of perimeter. 1 acre that’s only a foot wide has 87,120’ of perimeter.....
Don’t be so obtuse as to think that a 1700 acre survey that only happens to take 4 hours to do is priced by the hour. Some times you get the bear and some times the bear gets you.

Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
I had a kid that moved down from Virginia that said he could cut line with a machete as fast as I could with a bush axe. After watching him wear himself out on a 4" tree, I had a good laugh about it.
Tater, do you do mostly property surveying? I surveyed for an engineering firm for about 10 years but I mostly surveyed for utility projects. I've never really done much plat surveying.
I was bein facetious and yankin your chain a little- i bought 43 acres and had it surveyed and line of site cut out of pocket prior to even putting in my firm offer- weren't buyin a pig in a poke- JWS's guys did a fine job and I still have legal action pending with the neighbor, the courts are off work drinkin Corona this year.
Back in my surveying days I worked for a big firm in Charlotte. We had a big topo with two crews and were going to spend a day cutting line before shooting it. Really thick. The other crew got a new guy that morning and we drove the 6-8 miles east from downtown and got to work. New guy was about 6'1 or 6'2 and prolly 225. We handed him a bush ax and said cut straight line this way. About an hour and a half later we were trying to check on him and his bush ax was stuck in the ground back out at the road. Looked up and saw him walking about 200 yards down the road headed back to town and that's the last we saw or heard from him.
