The verdict in three sentences
For a land surveying firm of 8 to 15 staff in Dublin, a redesign built around boundary survey and land subdivision requests costs EUR 1,830 to 3,050 excluding VAT with Kolonell, about half of a typical local agency quote. A light refresh (new theme, same pages) does not fix the real issue: homeowners and solicitors cannot find the right service or an easy way to ask for a quote. The right trade-off is to fund targeted service pages, a geolocated quote form and local SEO across County Dublin, then measure request volume over 90 days.
Light refresh or new site: what you are really buying
Most surveying firm websites date from 2015 to 2019: one "Our services" page listing everything, a generic contact form and no page per area. Google cannot associate the firm with searches like "boundary survey Swords" or "land registry mapping Lucan". A light refresh modernises the look but keeps an architecture that does not generate requests.
| Option | 2026 budget excl. VAT | Timeline | What changes | Expected impact on requests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light refresh (theme, edited copy) | EUR 900 to 1,800 | 2 weeks | Design, responsive | Low, same architecture |
| Freelancer, new WordPress site | EUR 1,500 to 3,500 | 3 to 8 weeks | Service pages, simple form | Medium, freelancer dependent |
| Kolonell Growth, quote-driven site | EUR 1,830 to 3,050 | 3 to 6 weeks | Pages per service, geolocated quote form, local SEO | High, built for conversion |
| Kolonell Premium, with map and extended content | EUR 3,050 to 5,340 | 5 to 8 weeks | Coverage map, area pages, blog | High, broad local coverage |
| Local Dublin agency | EUR 4,500 to 9,000 | 6 to 12 weeks | Varies by agency | Varies |
Kolonell amounts follow the 2026 grid: Growth at 1,200,000 to 2,000,000 FCFA, Premium at 2,000,000 to 3,500,000 FCFA, converted at 655.957 FCFA per EUR. Other rows are 2026 orders of magnitude seen in the market.
Line items to price one by one
A serious quote breaks down the work. Here is the typical split of a Growth redesign for a land surveying firm, with the indicative share of budget per item.
| Item | Content | Budget share | Why it pays off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Service pages | Boundary surveys, subdivision, topographic, multi-unit, setting out | 25 % | Each service becomes a Google entry point |
| Geolocated quote form | Address, folio or map reference, service type, attachments | 20 % | Qualifies the request before the first call |
| Coverage map | Areas served across Dublin and neighbouring counties | 10 % | Reassures on service area |
| Local SEO | Google Business Profile, LocalBusiness markup, area pages | 20 % | Captures "surveyor + town" searches |
| Solicitors and partners area | Dedicated page, typical lead times, direct contact | 10 % | Retains the firm's main referrer |
| Performance and launch | Optimised images, hosting, 301 redirects | 15 % | Preserves existing rankings |
After launch, Kolonell Standard maintenance costs 75,000 FCFA per month, about EUR 110: updates, backups, monitoring and small changes. To push local rankings beyond the delivered baseline, the SEO Essential plan starts at 100,000 FCFA per month (about EUR 150), details on the Kolonell SEO page.
Mini case study
Ciaran, managing partner of an 11-person surveying firm in Dublin, receives 6 quote requests a month through his site. A boundary survey bills on average EUR 1,200 excluding VAT, with a 40 % close rate.
He picks a Growth redesign at EUR 2,600, plus EUR 110 monthly maintenance, so EUR 3,920 in year one. If the site reaches 10 monthly requests (a cautious assumption for a site with pages per service and per area), he gains 4 requests, so 1.6 extra surveys a month, about EUR 1,920 in additional monthly revenue. Year one cost is covered in just over two months. This is a simulation: real gains depend on the local market and the firm's responsiveness.
