Professional Courtesy 

Chain!

Let us examine the term “Professional Courtesy” and how it applies to Professional Land Surveyors.

Does this term as it applies to a Professional Land Surveyor mean we should provide free services to other Professional Land Surveyors and their relatives as it might apply to a doctor? Perhaps.

Does this term as it applies to a Professional Land Surveyor mean that we should avoid making disparaging comments about other Professional Land Surveyors as it might apply to a lawyer? Perhaps.

Since Professional Land Surveyors practice in a unique profession, one that rests on information, evidence and disclosure, then maybe the term “Professional Courtesy” as it applies to us should have a unique set of implications.

I have always maintained an “open” office as this is how I was trained. I was taught that this was how Professional Land Surveyors should operate and that it was a “Professional Courtesy”.
