The equipment cost to own as a 1099 ( Contractor ) for doing field engineering compared to other work in our business is lower. Perhaps $ 3,000 tops for decent laser range finder, 34-50 foot fiberglass measuring stick, typically $ 1,000,000 general liabilty insurance coverage, clipboard, measuring wheel for underground on new projects.
There is alot of work on there for the right person with experience due to new types of work, such as fiber interconnects for the new Distributive Antannae Systems (small cell towers) with interconnect mapping and permitting from their sites to the main tower sites and such.
Hope this helps,
