Bio: Scott Reid
In 2003 I moved to North Queensland chasing opportunity and fell in love with the region along the way. As a young Surveyor I worked hard, learnt from the best, and built lasting relationships with clients and industry professionals. After years in middle management, I realised a global reach doesn’t guarantee a handshake approach.
In geometry, the relationship between conditions defines a Locus. I started operating under LOCUS Surveys in 2021 to follow that logic and let the relationship between corporate expertise and local expectations define my work.

The Surveyor
The professors of this science are honoured with a more earnest attention than falls to the lot of any other philosophers. Arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music are discoursed upon to listless audiences, sometimes to empty benches, but the land surveyor is like a judge with the deserted field his forum crowded with eager spectators. You would think him a madman when you see him walking along most devious paths. But in truth he is seeking for the traces of lost facts in rough woods and underbrush. He walks not as other men walk. His path is like a book from which he reads. He shows what he is saying; he proves what he has learned; and by his steps he divides the rights of hostile claimants.
From the letters of Flavius Cassiodorus (d575 AD) Roman Statesman and Author
