Question - multiples for Land Surveying

by a searcher from The University of Chicago - Booth School of Business

Does anyone have a source for valuation multiples for land surveying?  This is the regular land surveying - nothing from an airplane or underwater.  I can't seem to find anything on average multiples paid (either for SDE or EBITDA).

I have a subscription to BVR, but there isn't much good data for land surveying.

Thanks.

the licensing requirements for land surveyors and the shortage of PLS (licensed professional land surveyors) is a major hurdle. i'd look elsewhere. n ten years, technology will grind this to more of a low margin business than it already is.

Private or public work? Land development or transportation? lots of variables...but probably 3-6x depending on what your answers are....
