According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the value of nonresidential construction in the United States was estimated to be approximately $440 billion in 2002 (the most current figure available). Worldwide, the value of nonresidential construction is likely to be close to a trillion dollars, and may well exceed this. The cost of surveying work for this construction category varies significantly by project, of course, and is only one part to the overall construction process.
