Certificate of survey: sounds important don’t it? I cracked up at work when my boss told me I was going to be driving in traffic, for four hours, walk onto the job site & spend 15 mins there to make this survey. I’m getting a little ahead of myself here; let me explain what a certificate of survey is. It’s when you hire an architect to go to a place and certify
that place exists. Duh….. I mean you go to a place (in this case an apartment) say “I’ll buy it!”, but I just want to make sure that it still exists in this reality when I leave. So I’ll spend an enormous amount of money to hire an architect to prove it. This entails me walking into the apartment & going “yep.. bathroom, kitchen, yep, “ for about 3 mins. Going back to my office, telling my boss it exists and then he signs a piece of paper. Cost about $500 per apartment. Needless to say those people suddenly decide to trust their eyes and didn’t hire us to perform the survey
