The land surveyor carries out surveys and surveying operations in the field of civil engineering, public works, and construction. They perform various topographical work as part of development projects. In addition to all operations related to surveying private and public properties (land surveys, topographical measurements, etc.), they also carry out other missions: geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry, technical description, subdivision and land development. This professional performs various cadastral operations and carries out boundary, pegging, and surveying work. The surveying work carried out by the land surveyor, the expert land surveyor, or the surveying expert allows for the delimitation of land, obtaining topographical surveys for the establishment of a surveying document used to create a location certificate, a cadastral plan, a residential construction permit, a development permit, and others. They can also take care of the as-built plan, which is the plan describing the work actually carried out at the end of a construction site as opposed to a project plan. The surveys carried out by the land surveyor are performed in many ways and by various tools. They may use a theodolite, an optical instrument measuring angles in both vertical and horizontal planes, a cutting-edge drone to get an aerial view of the terrain, measurement stakes (rods), etc.

A multifunctional expert, the surveyor handles tasks related to both topography and geodesy, as well as surveying, land development, and boundary operations (for land plots, subdivisions, land division, land development, etc.). For land properties, he intervenes at several stages: dividing and delimiting a plot of land, constructing a building, selling or buying a property... The surveyor is essential in the context of a real estate transaction, just like a real estate broker, notary, or building inspector. His expertise is required in delivering the location certification, which represents the legal document attesting to the conformity of the property to the regulations of the city and municipalities. Before finalizing the transaction, he conducts a land survey or topographic survey (measuring the dimensions and area), and records all occupancy marks, servitudes and encroachments if any. He also guides construction professionals in their new construction project on a vacant land or in expanding a dwelling, or in any outdoor improvements to ensure that the work complies with regulations. He verifies that the work respects the boundaries by providing an implementation plan which serves to establish the future position of the project. Calling upon a surveyor, land surveyor or topographer provides land expertise, allowing for precise topographic characteristics with technical descriptions of the land. This can then help resolve certain neighborhood conflicts, particularly the famous problem of a fence mistakenly built on a neighboring property.

The rates and fees charged by a land surveyor or a surveying engineer vary depending on many factors. On average, they range from €90 to €560. They may also charge a rate per square meter for large surveying work, such as land demarcation, which can cost between €5 and €7 per square meter. For the installation of stakes as part of the demarcation of a property, prices per square meter are higher than for a standard survey. In surveying operations, research on archives is also charged, as well as examining the deeds of a property and neighboring properties since the materializations of boundaries are compared to existing data and official records to verify consistency.

The professional services of a land surveyor are necessary in order to obtain a location certificate, a boundary plan with site surveys, a land division map for property titles, a map of the terrain's topography, and many other services. Choosing a land surveyor requires considering several criteria. One must take into account the territory in which the property is located as well as the territory in which the specialist usually works. It is advisable to choose an expert who is already familiar with the region's specificities and regulations. Otherwise, one can also consider the number of years of experience, meeting deadlines, the clarity of the submission, and transparency and attention to detail.
