Hi, I'm building a real estate prospecting web platform focused on small and mid-size cities in the Montérégie region of Québec, Canada (South Shore of Montréal). The platform allows real estate developers to visualize and analyze land parcels by zoning type across multiple municipalities. The project: I need the municipal zoning boundaries digitized for several cities. For each city, I will provide the official zoning plan PDF (published by the municipality). Your job is to georeference each PDF and trace all the zoning polygons, then export the result as a GeoJSON file (CRS: EPSG:4326 / WGS84). You do not need me to provide coordinates — all cities are real, well-known municipalities in Québec and can be geolocated independently using OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, or Quebec government cadastral data. Deliverable per city: A GeoJSON file with one polygon per zone, where each polygon has two attributes: zone — the exact zone code from the map (e.g. H-308, C-125, I-405) nom — the zone category (e.g. Résidentielle, Commerciale, Industrielle, Mixte, Communautaire) Cities involved (to be confirmed as we go): The first city is Sainte-Catherine, Québec. Others will follow, likely including Delson, Saint-Constant, Candiac, and La Prairie — all in the MRC de Roussillon area. Each city will come with its own zoning PDF. I'm looking for someone I can work with on an ongoing basis, city by city. Please let me know your rate per city and your typical turnaround time.

Dear Employer Please provide me your source data and we can start collaboration. I have master degree in GIS and Cartography. I graduated from AGH (Poland) and IFNTUOG (Ukraine). Additionally, I would like to share that two years ago, I founded a company which has now grown to a team of 40+ professionals. Our company specializes in projects related to Telecommunications, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Cartography, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and related fields. For our work, we utilize a variety of tools including ArcGIS (ESRI), QGIS, MapInfo, PNI, GISFO, 3eye, Google Earth, Revit, Adobe Photoshop, among others. We did a lot of projects in Italy that were mostly connected to telecommunications, but it always means a deep analysis by using Google Maps, Google Earth, Apple maps and some other resources. I am interested to learn about the current status of your business and would welcome the opportunity to explore potential collaboration between our companies. We can give you one or more people to work with you city by city. FIRST PERIOD OF WORK CAN BE FREE, so you can understand if we are good for your task or not. After you understand we are ok we can discuss the prices. Looking forward to your response. Best regards, Michael Zaiets

Hello, This is exactly the kind of GIS + data processing work I handle. I can take each municipal zoning PDF, accurately georeference it, digitize all zoning polygons, and deliver clean GeoJSON files in EPSG:4326 with properly structured attributes (zone and nom). I focus on precision and consistency so the data integrates smoothly into your platform. For Sainte-Catherine and other cities in the MRC de Roussillon area, I can work independently using reliable base maps (OpenStreetMap, cadastral data, etc.) without needing manual coordinates from your side. I’m also open to long-term collaboration and can streamline the workflow as we progress city by city. Let me know when you’re ready to start with Sainte-Catherine. Best regards

This is exactly the kind of work I’ve been doing—digitizing zoning maps and converting them into clean GIS layers for web platforms. For Sainte-Catherine, I can: * Georeference the official zoning PDF using reliable basemaps (OSM / Québec cadastral data) * Manually trace all zoning polygons (no auto shortcuts) * Add attributes: * zone (exact code from the map) * nom (Résidentielle, Commerciale, Industrielle, etc.) * Deliver a clean GeoJSON in EPSG:4326, ready for your platform I’ve handled similar municipal maps before, including dealing with distortions, unclear legends, and alignment issues—so accuracy and consistency will be maintained across cities. Rate: Instead of a fixed price, I prefer hourly since effort varies a lot depending on city size and parcel/zoning complexity. 11 CAD/hour Turnaround: Depends on the city size and number of zoning features. Smaller cities or simpler maps can be done quickly, while larger or denser zoning plans take longer. Typically ranges between 1–4 days per city.

Hi there, I'm a GIS specialist and I have more than 15 years experience in GIS, including tasks like georeferencing and digitization. I've created plenty of geospatial data using scanned or digital PDF without spatial attributes, so I'm sure that I can handle your project for those cities you mentioned. I'm available for ongoing project and at this time I can ensure a quick turnaround since recently I've completed some of the projects where I was involved. As for the time, I can estimate more precise as soon as I will have the PDF files, files that will help me to come up with a budget. For Sainte-Catherine, Québec, my estimation would be around 3-4 days, as I'm looking at the city on Google Maps. However, I'm flexible both regarding the deadline and budget, and I'm sure that we can have an agreement since you are looking for an ongoing freelancer, while I'm interested in new ongoing projects. I invite you to message me via chat, to discuss further details, discuss also regarding the budget per city digitization and then start the first city to deliver it as soon as possible at the highest quality. Thank you and best regards, Laurentiu

Hi, I’m excited about your project to digitize municipal zoning boundaries for several cities in the Montérégie region. Having worked extensively with GIS, GeoJSON formatting, and georeferencing PDFs, I am confident I can accurately trace zoning polygons and deliver well-structured GeoJSON files for each city. I understand the importance of attribute precision, so each polygon will include the exact zone code and category as you require. Given my experience with similar zoning and cadastral data projects, I can ensure accurate geolocation using OpenStreetMap and Quebec government data. I’m ready to start with Sainte-Catherine and continue with the follow-up cities as you confirm them. My typical turnaround per city is about 3 to 4 days, depending on the complexity of the zoning map. I’m happy to discuss ongoing collaboration to help you build a reliable prospecting platform. What is your preferred timeline for completing the first city, Sainte-Catherine, and do you have a sample zoning PDF available to review before we begin? Best regards,

Hi, I’m interested in working on your zoning digitization project for Sainte-Catherine. I have experience working with GIS tools (ArcGIS/QGIS) including georeferencing raster/PDF maps, digitizing polygon boundaries, and exporting clean GeoJSON datasets with proper CRS (EPSG:4326). I understand the importance of maintaining accuracy when tracing zoning boundaries and ensuring attributes are correctly assigned. To ensure quality before scaling, I would propose starting with Sainte-Catherine as a pilot city. I will carefully georeference the zoning plan PDF, digitize each zoning polygon, and verify alignment and attribute consistency (zone code and category). Once you review the sample output, we can confidently proceed with the remaining municipalities. I will also: Keep original zone codes exactly as shown on the official map Ensure clean topology (no overlaps or gaps) Deliver GeoJSON ready for direct use in web mapping platforms or QGIS Provide a quick QA check for spatial accuracy before final delivery I can begin immediately and share the first results within a short turnaround depending on the PDF complexity. Looking forward to working with you on this project.
