We know how much others charge, so we keep our costs down by keeping our overheads down. We don’t have fancy offices, and lots of administrative staff and we answer our own phone. We do have fancy computers for all that work on mapping and Google and all the toys and gizmos needed to get the job done.
We own most of the tools we would need so you save on rental charges and if you need us on site we have the equipment to make that happen. We are administrative wizards but nothing gives us a thrill more then a few days in the field.
Rates are fair and reasonable:
Field work:
Environmental surveys and plans, audits, site management plans, exploration work and sampling: $450 per day plus GST per person (minimum 2 people required for none supervised field trips. Trips longer then 2 days will need an additional preparation day.
Administrative:
Report writing, liaison with referral agencies, tenement management, mapping, desk top research etc: $45 per hour plus GST.
Vehicles are charged at $0.50 per km plus fuel with discounts available for long trips.
Fees for applications, rentals, testing for soil, water and rocks and the like will be paid directly by the client unless previously agreed.
Terms are strictly 7 days from invoice.
