Utility locating costs depend on the site, the services you need found, and the confidence level your project requires. This page explains what drives a quote and how to request one from HR Utilities.
For a firm quote, contact us with the site address, work zone, project timeline, required methods, and deliverable format. We respond within one business day.
A small residential locate over a single service is a different scope to a corridor-wide QL-B investigation with CAD/GIS delivery for a civil project. The quote reflects the time, equipment, survey control, and reporting required.
HR Utilities scopes each job before quoting so you pay for the investigation the project actually needs, not an oversized package.
These factors shape the scope, duration, and cost of a locating project.
Larger sites, restricted access, traffic management, and remote locations all affect mobilisation and field time.
EM locating, GPR, CCTV, concrete scanning, and total station survey each add capability and time where needed.
QL-D record reviews cost less than QL-B field detection or QL-A physical exposure via non-destructive digging.
Paint marks, PDF reports, CAD files, GIS data, 3D models, and BIM outputs require different processing time.
The more detail you provide, the faster and more accurate the quote.
Gather the site address, proposed work zone, and any BYDA plans or site drawings.
Note the project timeline, required methods, and the deliverable format you need.

HR Utilities reviews the scope and may ask clarifying questions before quoting.
You receive a written quote with the investigation scope, assumptions, and deliverables.
We can give an indicative cost range over the phone, but a firm quote usually requires the site address, work zone, required methods, and deliverables.
Site address, approximate work area, type of work planned, services you are concerned about, project timeline, and the deliverable format you need.
BYDA lodgement can be included in the scope or handled separately depending on the project. This is clarified in the quote.
