How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.
We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.
All
Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.

You don't need to be chartered in the UK.. we have a problem really where even a drone operator can set up a survey company. I've heard of many cases were a clients' point cloud model has been completely off due to lack of experience on behalf of the surveyor. If you worked in the UK, you'd probably go down the construction setting out route as that's where the wages are decent.

Thank you for the information. I am in USA and there are very strict guidelines about what is allowed without a license/charter/certification/Registration versus what is not allowed. Kinda hard to get Registered in USA. I am Registered in USA and I can make determination for Boundary matters (in my state) and can provide drawings that depict boundary information. Some other things I am allowed as well.
IF I am ask, what does a typical work day consist of for you in the UK? What are your Job duties? How are survey companies structured there? Is it a part of engineering firm or can they be seperated?
Thank you!
For France it's the "Ordre des Geometres Expert" which allow surveying job for the legal measurement of land boundaries.
The corners are materialized by concrete or plastic cubes.
For civilian networks (electric gaz telecom water etc) you need an "georeferencement certification" and AIPR that you can obtain with professional practice.
For all others applications there are no legal control in my known.
