This type of survey is also known as a construction set out or surveying set out. The construction surveyor will use a variety of tools to determine the precise location of the building or features. Construction Set-Out Survey Adelaide ## Construction Set-Out Surveys from A to Z Construction Surveying is the process of setting and verifying construction project control points. The construction surveyor is responsible for establishing construction control lines and grades that a construction contractor will use to build features identified in construction design plans. A construction survey generally consists of four steps: ### 1. Construction staking or "Setting Out" The construction surveyor uses the latest revision construction plans to calculate control points, lines, and grades. These calculations are used to place marks on the ground that the construction contractor will use as reference points to build features identified in the construction design plans. ### 2. Site visit The construction surveyor visits the site to verify that the marks have been placed correctly and to take measurements between marks to establish lines and grades. ### 3. Office calculations The construction surveyor uses the measurements taken during the site visit, along with the latest revision construction plans, to do office calculations. These calculations are used to produce a construction set-out drawing which is a scaled drawing of the project site showing the location of all marks. ### 4. Quality assurance The construction surveyor reviews the set-out drawing to ensure that it accurately reflects the placement of marks on-site and meets all applicable.
