Territorial expertise that transcends borders

With over 30 years of experience as a key player in the Quebec Cadastral Reform Program, Ecce Terra continues to be a premier partner for government agencies and many major corporations. As a leading land surveying firm in Canada, Ecce Terra aims to promote Canadian expertise in its field.

We are experts in high-precision measurement and property boundaries, with an excellent command of land law. We have always been passionate about land development and resource management, and above all, about the intimate relationship between our land and the development of our cities, municipalities, and communities.

Our passion for our profession drives us not only to maintain the highest standards of accuracy in our practice, but also to develop a precise understanding of the laws and regulations specific to each region where we operate. We are a trusted, local partner for our clients.

Our history

Ecce Terra was created from the merger of two land surveying firms from the Beauce region, the older of which was founded in 1952. Our organization therefore has over 70 years of experience with projects throughout Quebec.

Since its inception, Ecce Terra has continued to grow through the establishment of new offices and a series of strategic acquisitions, including Bussières Bérubé Genest Schnob (BBGS) and Groupe HBG over the past decade. Today, Ecce Terra has 13 branches across Quebec, around thirty land surveyors, and over a hundred employees at certain times of the year.

Ecce Terra is a Latin term meaning "Behold the Earth."

Why choose this phrase as our company name? Because we believe it is impossible to excel as a land surveyor without feeling a deep respect for the Earth. This respect is at the root of our firm commitment to achieving sustainable and equitable land development, without compromising future generations. For us, this commitment has become a necessity today.

The phrase "Behold the Earth" reflects our love for the planet. We honor this expression. It keeps us connected to our convictions and evokes our approach, which is both human-centered and rigorous.
