CABINET BETARD

What CABINET BETARD does

Cabinet BETARD is a private French surveying firm (cabinet de géomètre expert) founded in 1995 by Olivier BETARD, Ingénieur Géomètre Topographe and urbaniste diplômé de l'Institut d'Aménagement Régional d'Aix-en-Provence. Headquartered in Camaret-sur-Aigues in the Vaucluse department, with a secondary office in Vaison-la-Romaine, the firm serves clients across Vaucluse, eastern Gard, and southern Drôme. Olivier BETARD additionally holds the title of Expert auprès de la Cour d'Appel de Nîmes, providing judicial expertise in property boundary disputes. The firm is registered on the Table of the Order of Géomètres-Experts, which grants it state-delegated public service authority for property boundary marking (bornage) under French law of May 7, 1946.

The company's core offering is organized across five integrated service lines: surveying and topography (Travaux Topographiques), land work (Travaux Fonciers), building division (Division du Bâti, including Loi Carrez and copropriété work), infrastructure engineering (Ingénierie V.R.D.), and urban planning (Urbanisme). Additional services include judicial expertise and legal consultation on property matters. The firm operates a precision technology stack — Leica BLK360 3D scanner (360,000 points/second, millimetric precision), Trimble R10 GNSS GPS systems, Trimble robotic total stations, AutoCAD Map 3D, Geomedia Covadis, and Mensura Genius — supporting digital twin creation and high-accuracy topographic output.

Cabinet BETARD runs a project-based professional services model with time-and-materials hourly billing (Géomètre Expert at 110 EUR HT/hour down to Technician at 65 EUR HT/hour) and fixed-price project work (bornage 1,000–2,500 EUR TTC, land division 750–2,000 EUR TTC, judicial procedures 1,500–4,000 EUR TTC). The 7-person team serves a hybrid customer base of private individuals (Particuliers), developers and promoters (Nexity, Urbanista), notaries, BTP companies, architects, and local government entities (Camaret-sur-Aigues, Orange, Vaison-la-Romaine, Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, Département du Vaucluse, Réseau Ferré de France, Direction Départementale des Territoires, Vinci Autoroutes, Cadastre). Distribution is sales-led via direct field service, office consultations, professional referral networks (notaries, real estate agencies), and an educational content blog.
