So, I just called these folks as part of my dissertation research to request an interview with one of their engineers. The receptionist (presumably, she did not introduce herself) chose to hang up on me, rather than pass along my request to their engineers or to simply decline. I had previously spoken with someone at the same company the evening before who had told me to call them back in the morning and they would ask around to see if someone would be willing to talk to me. A simple "we choose not to participate in your research" would have been fine, there is no need to be rude.

They charge, starting at $120.00 an hour depending on a lot of variables. They do whole surveying of the property, not a single side survey so as to put in a fenced in area to keep your pet in one area of your property
