How to become a cadastral engineer: description, education

Who is a cadastral engineer?

A cadastral engineer is a specialist who is engaged in surveying land plots and solving specific issues in the field of real estate. The specialist carries out activities in the bureaucratic field (working with documentation) and the social sphere (interaction with people). Direct job responsibilities involve performing special measurements, assessing and determining the status of real estate, clarifying boundaries, and creating plans. These and many other problems are solved both in the office and in the field.

Until 2011, Russians did not have such a question - everyone knew that problems related to real estate were solved by the BTI (technical inventory bureau). But for 10 years now, the institute of cadastral engineers has been actively developing in our country, and still many citizens do not understand - who should they turn to - the “old-fashioned” way - to the BTI, or the “new-fashioned” way - to a cadastral engineer? Elena Bobkova, partner of the Moscow Regional BTI, candidate of pedagogical sciences, associate professor, expert of the National Center for Financial Literacy, project director of the Higher School of Modern Education, answered this difficult question.

Currently, BTI is engaged in collecting and storing technical information about real estate and preparing technical documents for it. When conducting an inventory of real estate, if changes were identified during the survey, BTI specialists make adjustments to the existing technical documentation. Here you can obtain various extracts, certificates and technical documentation that will be required when concluding real estate transactions. It is not necessary in all cases for the applicant to appear in person - currently BTI provides many services via remote access. Depending on the region, the list of services that can be ordered and paid for online in 2021 varies; their lists are presented on the websites of regional BTI. For example, for residents of the Moscow region, services such as drawing up a technical plan for a residential building, residential or non-residential auxiliary building (bathhouse, garage, outbuilding, etc.), drawing a floor plan of a capital facility are now available in remote access mode. construction, technical passport of an apartment or capital construction project, technical plan for a parking space, certificates of the presence or absence of ownership of real estate and certificates of the inventory value of the property, reports on the assessment of the market value of the apartment.

As we see, with BTI everything is quite simple and transparent. Now let's move on to cadastral engineers.

Who is a cadastral engineer? The federal law gives an unambiguous definition - this is “an individual who is a member of a self-regulatory organization of cadastral engineers.”

For yourself, you need to understand that this is not an employee of the BTI or Rosreestr, this is an ordinary person, although he has quite extensive knowledge in the field of land management, geodesy, valuation activities, who has passed an official exam in order to confirm his professional knowledge - but not some kind of employee organizations. A cadastral engineer works for himself.

If you contact a cadastral engineer, you enter into a contract agreement, the result of which, most likely, will be a boundary or technical plan, an inspection report and/or other documents necessary to enter information about your property into the Unified State Register of Real Estate.

It’s not difficult to check the cadastral engineer whom you were advised and/or you found yourself - just go to the Rosreestr website - https://rosreestr.gov.ru/site/fiz/poluchit-svedeniya-iz-reestra-kadastrovykh-inzhenerov/ and request information from it. The service is free. If a person is not on the register, this means that you are a fraudster.

Of course, when contacting both the BTI and the cadastral engineer, there are pros and cons.

BTI is a structure of diverse specialists, the cadastral engineer is one. Everyone makes mistakes, but the likelihood of an error in the BTI, where your application is processed by several specialists, is still slightly lower. It is important to note that large state-owned companies have the latest certified equipment, which private cadastral engineers do not have. For example, the Moscow Regional BTI owns a Precision Positioning System of 14 base stations covering the entire Moscow region, which makes it possible to determine the most accurate coordinates. Also, the Moscow Regional BTI has modern expensive equipment worth several million rubles, which allows it to carry out work at the highest level and very quickly.

The BTI has many tasks besides your request, but for the cadastral engineer you will clearly not be “one of thousands of applications”, and he will be able to complete the work in a shorter time.

At the same time, there are risks - after all, the BTI “will not evaporate anywhere” while working with your case, but anything can happen to an independent contractor. In addition, BTI maintains and maintains an archive where millions of inventory files are stored for all real estate properties.

What to choose in each specific case is up to you to decide, after carefully weighing and thinking about everything!

Career of cadastral specialists

It’s worth saying right away that cadastral engineers are in great demand in the labor market today. This may be due to the complexity of the work. Not every person is able to take on the entire burden of responsibility that is placed on him. But all these difficult responsibilities of a cadastral engineer during land surveying and collecting documents are fully compensated by the opportunity for good career growth. Starting out during an internship as just an assistant engineer or land survey technician, a worker can acquire more and more professional skills. As a specialist in the field of land management climbs the career ladder, his salary also rises. Thus, a representative of the profession in question has an income of at least 30 thousand rubles. By acquiring more valuable experience, the employee assumes all the responsibilities of a cadastral engineer. A resume, correctly compiled and submitted to the right organization, helps a specialist in the field of land management become a real specialist.
