\u00a0A surveyor on behalf of the investor<\/h3>\n

When does a surveyor cover the general contractor?<\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n

Many surveyors will probably think I have gone crazy writing an article denigrating my own industry. I have heard many stories when working for international investors for years about geodesists lowering the costs of commissions. As a result, they deliver duds which are hard to believe. However, this article is not a critique of geodesists. University authorities are having problems with their education, they let us know about it themselves. On the other hand, I will make it clear that I don\u2019t support concealing or changing the measurements for the general contractor\u2019s profit. This article was written for investors, to warn about the methods of geodetic companies!<\/p>\n

Underestimated geodesist on the construction site<\/h4>\n

<\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n

With this article I want to draw attention to the fact that many aspects of the building process depends on the surveyor. The costs incurred are a fraction of the loses which may occur during the building process. Unfortunately, a surveyor on the construction site is often treated as a necessary evil and the least important element. Immodestly, I will say that investors underestimate this profession and it works to their disadvantage. Here I will describe the most important matters to illustrate the scale of the problem!<\/p>\n

Surveyor hired by the investor or the general contractor?<\/h4>\n

<\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n

When should an investor be vigilant and make sure the geodesist hired by the general contractor is supervised? Why should you do it at all, if there already is a geodesist? I sometimes hear: \u201cIt\u2019s just doubling the costs!\u201d. However, when I present some arguments to investors, especially the ones with an ongoing construction process, they become pretty nervous. There is a strong likelihood that if something is incorrectly built by the general contractor, the mistakes might not be revealed. Why? The geodesist hired by the general contractor will have no interest in questioning the quality of work done by his employer. That\u2019s why, especially with large investments, the investor should hire a geodesist himself. In that situation he is like a supervision inspector carrying out an audit.<\/p>\n

Examples of geodetic mistakes<\/h4>\n

<\/div>\n

What mistakes are covered up by geodesists hired by the general contractor? I have heard on many occasions that after the building has been built, the investor finds out that the elevator shaft is not vertical and the elevator does not fit between the floors. I have repeatedly heard of a wrong foundation placement in relation to the property boundaries. In my neighborhood alone there has been a new 4 storey retail and service building for 9 months. However, an permission to use the building has not been issued because it was revealed in the measurement after building the building that the building had been staked out by the geodesist in the wrong place before the foundation has been laid.<\/p>\n
