To be a great surveyor you must learn to merge the application of
state of the art procedure and technology with the time tested
back-to-basic fundamentals of survey and layout. Concepts like
chaining, three-wire-leveling, averaging angles and traversing
control are just as applicable today as they have always been.
Knowing how to use a total station and data collector does not
make a Surveyor. Surveyors who are true builders position
structures and record locational data with both accuracy and
precision, know the math, the tech, the methods, current practices.
builder fundamentals and the applications of field engineering.

The construction and civil industries have become flooded with
layout technicians who will show up on-site with a robotic total
station and a tablet, spray out points and leave under the guise of
surveying. Was control verified? Were site datums compared with
the plan set? Were elevations tied together and adjusted with a
level loop? Are there enough benchmarks and references to grid
line for the subsequent builder to follow along seamlessly? Was the
task tolerance clear? Was the work double-checked to ensure that
it was placed correctly? All fair questions, many of which are being
waved aside by the very people performing layout on our projects.
By following the steps laid out in this book, the answer to each of
the crucial questions above will be an enthusiastic YES!

Come with us as we merge the past and the present to create a
well-rounded construction survevor or 'Builder' who can control
any task or scope in the construction process.
