Building plot - who should assess it?

Dear readers,
I have the following question: We possibly have a plot of land in sight with an old house. We are mainly interested in the plot; we would possibly rebuild the house.
If we get the contract (in other words, are allowed to buy), who should we have the whole thing checked by? A building surveyor or a soil surveyor?
It is about getting an overview of how good the plot is for building on and to what extent we are allowed to expand, etc. The house can also be inspected, but that would be secondary.... :)
Can you help?

Best regards

Yes, find yourself a master bricklayer or shaft supervisor in civil engineering, possibly also a landscape gardener, give him a hundred and ask for his opinion. It is developable, since it is already developed. Low risk if new development is permitted. But that is known at the building authority in the town hall. The information is free and only costs a phone call. K.

Thank you very much for your answer. We already have the cadastral map, we still need to obtain the development plan from the city! So you mean an expert is not necessary and a bricklayer will do? And if we hire a regular expert (for the house), would he also check the property? Also for an extra charge? Best regards

A master! I was talking about masters, not journeymen. They are masters because they have learned how to build upwards or downwards or outwards. They often know more than scholars who only master all of this theoretically.

And if we get a regular appraiser (for the house), would they also check the property? Also for an extra charge? Best regards

Yes. The thing is unfortunately that anyone can call themselves an appraiser. The way you write here, they're simply ripping you off like a Christmas goose.
Don’t you know anyone in the construction industry?
What exactly do you want? New build or renovation? For new builds, at most a soil report would be interesting to avoid cost explosions.
My approach would also be more towards a masonry company than an "appraiser".

Yes, I believe that... we don't know anyone from the construction industry who would do it now. About 70% new construction! But we haven't been awarded the contract yet and the price depends on all that (soil acquisition, house...) Do you think a masonry company would agree? They have tons of orders right now.... Do samples etc. have to be taken for a soil report or how does it roughly work? Thanks a lot :-)
