What to understand about land surveying

Land surveying provides a measurable reference of the site and its existing features. A survey can record boundaries, distances, elevations, slopes, buildings and other information later used for design or construction staking.

The quality of the initial information affects many later decisions. Total stations, GNSS equipment, levels, drones and other technologies may be used depending on the accuracy and scope required for the work.

Points to evaluate

  • Define the information the project actually requires.
  • Identify relevant boundaries, elevations, slopes and existing features.
  • Establish references that can later be used for construction staking.
  • Select the survey method according to scope, terrain and required accuracy.

How to use these resources

This category explains the purpose of topographic surveys and why their scope should be established before beginning design, earthworks or construction activities.
