- A surveyor plays a crucial role on a construction site, ensuring that the project is built according to design and legal requirements. Here are the main roles and responsibilities of a surveyor in construction:_
- **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**_
