partitioner

Flemish again... Unlike in Dutch, verkaveling in Flemish has a wide meaning. The first link below gives you an idea.
I do not exclude the possibility that the Flemish word verkavelaar is equivalent to the Dutch word "ontwikkelaar" (of construction projects). If that would appear to be the case, "partitioner" is wrong.

Note from asker:
I don't think being a developer has much relevance. You could well have the right answer...
I have changed my point of view after seeing Writeaway's comment.

land or plot partitioner

"partitioner" on its own seems too general to me. Is is obvious that 'verkavelen' means to divide a large piece of land into smaller plots to be constructed.
A real estate agent, or a housing developer could help here.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Erik Brinkhof : In Belgium, 'verkavelen' does NOT just mean to divide a large piece of land into smaller plots. You may want to follow my first link for more info.
