Mark,
I never mentioned that I had to go around pricing all day........ did I ?

Now if you get the logistics right, quite often a survey will be carried out either on the way to a job , inbetween jobs or coming home from a job, not difficult to do really.
On the other hand if your rushing around like a blue arsed fly, i,m assuming you are

for silly prices then No you wont have time .
I personaly allow a time for each job, where I had no need to rush, "this allows for any little extras" a chance to survey if need be, or a break . What on earth is the point in rushing about? surveying gets you the job, the price you want, and most importantly in my mind ........ you know exactly what you are dealing with. Now doesnt that make sense? and lets be honest if I have to pop out after tea to survey , It s not a problem ,its part of my service it is part of my buisness and it gets me good paying custys.
One feeling I get from those who say they are too busy or to knackered at the end of the day to survey is . NO your not!!! You just cant be bothered!!!
