Deadlines for surveying after completion?

Deadlines can usually be extended in consultation with the surveyor/cadastral office until outbuildings/garage(s) are constructed.

They have to register, don’t they, and can’t just enter the property like that?

If the order for the building survey has been placed, I assume that the surveyor is also allowed to enter the property.

Ultimately, the survey is mandatory for the owner, meaning that anyone who continuously ignores letters from the commissioned surveyor or the cadastral office will eventually be surveyed compulsorily, including an additional fee. At the latest then, the surveyor’s or authority’s right to enter the property applies, which is anchored in the respective state laws.

So, I have information because I just made a phone call. So it will really be like having the time and simply processing orders accumulating in the area. They just come unannounced.

Fortunately, I was able to delay the whole thing here a bit so that I can set up a garage and have it measured at the same time.

By the way, you cannot save costs if neighbors are measured along. The only one who saves is the surveyor.

This depends on the fee regulations of the respective federal state – in NRW, the cost reduction is clearly established, and the owners have a legal entitlement to it.

For us it was 20%, a total of almost EUR 200.

A surveyor comes unsolicited only when surveying is carried out ex officio. However, this only happens if several letters have been ignored beforehand.

If one has not already commissioned a publicly appointed surveyor out of "preemptive obedience," the responsible state office/municipal authority (both the authority designation and responsibility vary in the federal states) writes to you and sets a deadline for the building survey. Then you should contact the publicly appointed surveyor you trust, usually it will be the office that also staked out the building.

"Unsolicited" the publicly appointed surveyor also comes by now and then, because the commissioning of the GE together with the staking out before the start of construction was given, but the builders no longer really remember it after more than a year. This is understandable, because it is far away and quite unimportant during the planning phase, but it happens often enough.
