If the government wants to build something and needs to survey an easement on your property, I kind of doubt that they need to ask your permission or pay you money to do so.

I’d hope they ask/seek permission, etc because until the eminent domain process is actually completed the property is still private and belongs to the individual.

Eminent domain is not surveying. Eminent domain isn’t even established until the surveying is done. And the surveying would be done regardless of whether eminent domain is even an issue.
