Tree surveyors how busy are you?

Busy enough given I only want to work part time to fit in around other commitments, but not quite as regular as I'd like it to be, ie nothing all week then three 'urgent can you do it yesterday' calls!

Why do you ask?

 

 

Just wondering if it's worth investing in some serious kit. I've got two businesses myself but I'm not seeing the overwhelming demand which tells me the surveying side would pay this kit off in a short period.

What sort of serious kit are you talking? You're just south of London are you? If so work shouldn't be too hard to find and you should be able to get a decent rate. But if you're thinking decay detection equipment I don't think demand is very high, there are already a few choices dotted about...

Don't do a great deal of local authority work (maybe 10% of turnover), mostly development site work for a range of developers and landscape architects/planners.

 

In terms of investing in kit, I'd really wait until you've got a good client base before spending loads on decay detection kit, for example. Getting your data collection and mapping software sorted should be your main priority. Lots of different solutions out there.

 

 

 

 

Is that mainly from LA contracts or mixed?
