Land development definition

Land development includes procedures designed to guarantee the development and appropriate use of a territory. In France, only land surveyors accredited by the Minister of Agriculture may be designated to execute land development operations.

Land Development Studies & Mapping Services

Sintégra chartered land surveying company is fully accredited to deliver rural, agricultural and urban (real-estate, etc.) land development studies and services.
