Quantität Feldmesser from

Thanks mathepac, what does Quantität Feldmesser mean in German? I have spoken to so many Germans and they have never heard of the profession.
 
I have no idea - I just pasted the results from the translator website; sorry.
 
Generic term is
"Sachverstaendiger" (ae being the Umlaut)
For buildings, it is "Bausachverstaendiger" or "Sachverstaendiger Bau"

Hope that helps.

'Building expert' could this be relevant to other professions in German say Site Manager, Project Manager etc?

Quite close to field messer. I'd say some builders might see that as appropriate - messing in a field.
Builders, farmers, cows, horse-breeders, data analysts, AAM posters.... the list is endless; the ultimate generic job-title.
