Surveyors And Loss Adjusters - List of Companies & Services in UAE

A surveyor or a loss adjuster is a specialist in surveying and topography, one of the oldest jobs in the world. For a better understanding, it can be said that the topography is a branch of engineering geodesy which deals with a portion of the Earth's crust measurements.

The surveyors and loss adjusters are always appreciated for their job in large industrial cities, such as Dubai, where people need the surveyors’ and loss adjusters’ special opinion, when it comes to building an estate or even before buying it.

Due to the growth of population and the economic development of the last years, Dubai is a city where people are interested in buying properties. But before doing that, people like to make a small research and choose the best options to invest. This is the reason why, in this modern city, people always appeal to specialists like the surveyors and loss adjusters, but also at real estate agents.

The main role of surveyors and loss adjusters is to carefully analyze the ownership documents of an estate and to decide whether the construction work of the building was carried out correctly or not. The work of a surveyor is diverse and it is based on the requirements of the customers. Thus for the detachment or annexation of a property (in general cadastral works and not only) the surveyor should follow the next steps: the analysis of the situation on the construction area and the decision about what equipment should be used and the measurements and data recording.

After that, the next step can be regarded as a desk job because it involves data processing and calculations based on the recorded data to determine the location and the position, form, area and volume of the elements of the construction. The data representation is made in various forms: using plans, maps, charts or numerical tables. Finally, the documents are submitted to the office of cadastre and land registry to receive approvals for the detachment or annexation of the property.

The topography is one of the most important arts which has been practiced by people since ancient times. It was initially needed for drawing borders and dividing the land. Nowadays, the topography continues to play an important role in many areas of engineering. For example, the surveyors’ and loss adjusters’ services are required to design, build and even verify not only the buildings, but also the highways, the roads and so on.
