In addition to official functions, the ÖbVI can also take on private tasks. He is active in the entire area of official cadastral surveying and technical engineering surveying, geographic information and property valuation:
- Valuation ( property valuation )
- Zoning
- Geoinformatics
- Engineering geodesy
- Cadastral survey

In some federal states (e.g. Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Rhineland-Palatinate, Brandenburg, Saxony), ÖbVI may also provide information (extracts) from the real estate cadastre (real estate map, real estate book).
Training and ordering
The official activity as ÖbVI requires a public appointment by the supervisory authority, which is only carried out if the qualification for higher or higher surveying administration service is available and experience in the execution of cadastral surveys has been acquired over several years.
The career of the ÖbVI includes - apart from the country-specific additional requirements of some federal states - as a rule a study of surveying or geodesy at a scientific university with a diploma as a surveying engineer , which concludes with the diploma main examination (1st state examination); Since the reorganization of the courses, a corresponding master’s degree is required. After two years of legal traineeship at the surveying administration and the major state examination (2nd state examination), after one year of professional activity in cadastral surveying (at an ÖbVI or the cadastral administration), you can apply for an appointment to the ÖbVI.
