1. Site Assessment and Preparation

l Conduct topographical surveys to map the land's features.

l Evaluate ground conditions and help determine suitability for construction.

l Perform topographic surveys to map natural and man-made features of the land, including contours, vegetation, utilities and structures.

l Set out control points for future construction work.

2. Setting Out (Construction Layout)

l Accurately mark out positions and levels for foundations, walls, roads, and other structures.

l Ensure that the construction follows the design drawings and specifications.

3.Measurement and Monitoring

l Measure distances, angles, and elevations using instruments like total stations, GPS, levels, and theodolites.

l Monitor settlement or movement of structures during and after construction.

4. Data Collection and Management

l Collect and process survey data using software (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D).

l Maintain records of measurements, plans, and reports for future reference.

5. Boundary and Legal Compliance

l Define property lines and land boundaries to avoid legal dispute

l Ensure construction stays within legal boundaries and zoning regulations.

6. Coordination and Communication

l Work closely with project manager, engineers, architects, and contractors to ensure accuracy in construction.
