I am looking for a land surveyor in N. California for planning approval submittal.

 I am seeking a reasonably priced land surveyor for a lot under 3,000 square feet. My search results so far firms that handle large scale projects, often accompanied by multiple page quotes and extensive proposals. Given the modest size of my lot, I believe an ordinary surveyor would be more appropriate surveying for planning approval. Any recommendations for a surveyor who specializes in smaller projects would be greatly appreciated

@Thomas Sbahtu if when Google'ing, for some reason you can't find one-man show/small office surveying companies in your area, maybe try looking for civil engineers instead.  There are always random civil engineers out there and some of them do surveys as well, as I understand. At the least, they should be able to refer you to a surveyor for a more boutique project such as your's.

    Hi Bryant, Thank you for your brilliant suggestion. I appreciate your insight and will consider looking for civil engineers who might offer surveying services or could refer me to a suitable surveyor for my project. Either way, they will have an input.
