The Federation of Publicly Appointed Surveying Engineers ( BDVI ) is the professional representation of the publicly appointed surveying engineers (ÖbVI) in Germany. The association currently has around 1,300 members. This corresponds to a degree of organization of over 90%.
The federal association is entered in the register of associations and registered with the German Bundestag as a discussion partner for parliamentarians . As a trade and professional association , it represents the interests of its members among themselves and towards politics , business and administration . The BDVI, together with the DVW - Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management and the Association of German Surveying Engineers (VDV), co-founded the Geodesy Interest Group (IGG).
The ÖbVI are freelancers hired by the state who are entrusted with sovereign tasks in the field of surveying . Similar to notaries, they provide public services in private organization. An ÖbVI is subject to state supervision and may not be in an instruction relationship or be commercially active; his actions are determined by neutrality and a sense of personal responsibility. For all tasks related to property and real estate , they are technical service providers, but also consultants and mediators between business and administration.
By entrusting the ÖbVI with sovereign tasks, the state has already relieved its budget of wage sums and job costs for more than 15,000 employees. The BDVI is committed to promoting the principle of state relief in public surveying by transferring all non-administrative tasks to the ÖbVI. On the one hand, ÖbVI's surveying service is citizen-oriented, efficient, market-oriented and often more cost-effective; on the other hand, the administrative offices can concentrate on their administrative tasks.
So far, the professional law of the ÖbVI as well as the building planning and land register law have not been regulated nationwide. Bayern reserves since 1909 that the cadastral survey exclusively by the Survey Office must be performed. With regard to the further convergence of Europe , the BDVI sees it as its main task to do persuasive work for a standardization of surveying and professional law.
The ÖbVI are subject to the ban on advertising . In the opinion of the BDVI, this prevents both the profession and the surveying system in general with its tasks, to make the citizens and the economy clear. The BDVI therefore tries to create transparency here through public relations work at the association level. The ÖbVI provide their services not only for municipal institutions, but also for private clients , building and development agencies, technical administrations and for industrial, structural, transport and civil engineering objects.
The federal office of the BDVI is based in Berlin .
