Fast, Flat-Rate Quotes
Every project is scoped in writing before work begins. Starting prices are shown below, with larger sites, rush work, travel, lab fees, and custom analysis quoted separately.
Tri-State Field Coverage
Field work is focused in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. GIS, mapping, desktop screening, and professional-firm support can be completed remotely when the scope allows.
Deliverables You Can Use
Reports and maps are written for the person making the decision, whether that is a buyer, attorney, lender, landowner, farmer, developer, or consulting firm.
Sample Before You Commit
Downloadable PDF samples show the format, level of detail, and presentation style you can expect before requesting a quote.
Technical Assessment Modules
Each module is a standalone deliverable. Commission one service individually or combine several into a package. Final pricing depends on property size, parcel count, travel distance, turnaround time, lab fees, available data, and complexity.
Property GIS Map
Starting at $395 Parcel exhibit, aerial context, road access, labels, legend, and print-ready PDF map.
Technical Overview
Professional GIS map production using parcel data, aerial imagery, road layers, basic site orientation, and client-facing cartographic layout. Delivered as a clean PDF map suitable for meetings, property review, transaction support, or internal files.
Client Application
Useful for landowners, attorneys, lenders, real estate agents, planners, appraisers, and small developers who need a polished property exhibit instead of a county GIS screenshot.
Site Context & Constraint Mapping
Starting at $795 Floodplain, wetlands, soils, drainage features, access context, and written planning notes.
Technical Overview
Multi-layer GIS review integrating parcel context, aerial imagery, FEMA floodplain data, USFWS wetland mapping, USDA soils, drainage features, road access, and other available public data. Delivered as a map-based constraints summary.
Client Application
Helps buyers, attorneys, developers, planners, and landowners understand obvious mapped constraints before purchase, design, development planning, or deeper due diligence.
Environmental Desktop Screening
Starting at $595 Red Flag Screening starts at $595. Full desktop screening typically starts at $895 to $1,250+.
Technical Overview
Public-records and map-based review of environmental database context, historical land use, floodplain exposure, mapped wetlands, nearby regulated-site records, spill or tank indicators where available, and issues that may justify follow-up.
Client Application
Useful before acquisition, financing, redevelopment, listing, or attorney review. Helps surface obvious red flags before a client spends more money on formal environmental due diligence.
Drainage & Watershed Review
Starting at $1,250 Drainage Context Map option typically $650 to $850 for smaller desktop scopes.
Technical Overview
Desktop terrain and drainage review using parcel context, aerial imagery, public topography, mapped hydrology, low-area interpretation, roadside ditch context, and client-facing notes about likely runoff behavior and follow-up needs.
Client Application
Built for rural property buyers, landowners, farmers, attorneys, small developers, and township or planning clients who need a clearer drainage picture before purchase, grading, access planning, or engineering review.
Soil Profile Assessment
Starting at $650 Limited hand-auger or exposed-profile review. Additional locations, travel, and expanded writeups quoted per project.
Technical Overview
Field soil observation, horizon description, color and texture notes, drainage indicators, profile log, sample location context, and a plain-language summary of what the observed soil conditions may mean for land-use screening.
Client Application
Supports rural property buyers, landowners, small acreage owners, farmers, and planners who need basic soil-condition documentation before purchase, land improvement, pasture planning, drainage review, or further specialist work.
Water Quality Evaluation
Starting at $325 + lab fees Surface water field screening starts at $395. Lab cost depends on selected panel.
Technical Overview
Private well sample collection, lab coordination, chain-of-custody support where applicable, sample-location documentation, and plain-language review of lab-reported results. Surface water screening can include basic field parameters when scoped.
Client Application
Useful for private well owners, rural buyers, lenders, attorneys, small acreage owners, and landowners who want laboratory results summarized in a practical format.
Agricultural Soil Sampling
Starting at $450 + lab fees Strict acreage, sample count, travel, and lab-panel limits apply to starting-price scopes.
Technical Overview
Field boundary review, sample layout, soil sample collection, lab coordination, sample-location mapping, and client-friendly summary of pH, nutrient trends, organic matter, and management-zone observations where included in the lab panel.
Client Application
Designed for farmers, landowners, hobby farms, rural buyers, and managers who want organized sampling documentation and a readable summary of soil test results.
GIS Support for Environmental & Professional Firms
$85 to $125 / hour Environmental report map packages typically range from $750 to $1,500.
Technical Overview
Report-ready GIS figures, site location maps, radius/context maps, parcel exhibits, public-data cleanup, historical aerial exhibits, shapefile/KML/GeoJSON cleanup, georeferencing, and GIS production support.
Client Application
Supports environmental consultants, engineering firms, planning firms, attorneys, due-diligence teams, and small offices that need geospatial work without hiring another staff member.
Drone & Remote Sensing
From $395 Aerial site documentation $395 to $595. Orthomosaic mapping $895 to $1,500. Progress visits $350 to $500. Stockpile estimates start at $1,000.

Prices shown are starting points for straightforward scopes. Final quotes depend on parcel count, acreage, travel distance, sample count, lab fees, rush turnaround, report length, available data, and requested analysis.
Pricing note: All prices shown reflect base rates for typical projects. Final quotes are project-specific and depend on site size, complexity, location, turnaround requirements, number of parcels or samples, and any required lab or third-party costs. Lab fees and third-party costs are passed through at cost with no markup. All quotes are provided in writing before any work begins.
Data Sources
Terrain and hydrologic analyses utilize high-precision LiDAR elevation data from OGRIP (Ohio), MiSAIL (Michigan), and IndianaMap (Indiana) where available, supplemented by USGS National Map data. All GIS deliverables are produced from verified public-record data sources — not generic web mapping imagery.
