Frequently asked questions
I carry out drone surveys and land mapping: 71.12.40 or the geology code?
Yes, photogrammetric surveys — including drone surveys — and the preparation and revision of maps fall under 71.12.40. If you carry out geological prospection and geodetic surveys of the subsoil, look at 71.12.50.
Aerial photogrammetric survey for a construction project: cartography or land surveyor work?
It depends on the final service. Producing the map and photogrammetric survey output is 71.12.40; if instead you design the structure and oversee the works as a land surveyor, the code is 71.12.30.
GIS services and spatial data: do they fall under 71.12.40?
Usually yes, because cartographic and spatial information activities are covered by 71.12.40. When you develop GIS software for a client, however, that is software programming and belongs under 62.10.00.
