About us
Let’s go back
to the beginning.
Ecce Terra is the result of the merger of two Beauce-based land surveying firms, the older of which was founded in 1952. Our organization has more than 70 years’ experience of projects throughout Quebec.
Since its inception, Ecce Terra has grown steadily 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 14 branches across Quebec, over 30 surveyors, and more than a hundred employees at certain times of the year.
