How does invoicing/payment work for most Surveyor projects in Merrillville?
Every project differs, but you should ask any surveyor for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any surveying services work is done.
If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for surveyors to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your surveyor project.
If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the surveyor to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.
