Overview
Why Attend
No construction project can be set out, monitored, or delivered accurately without reliable Construction Surveying, which remains the technical backbone connecting design drawings to real conditions on the ground. This training course gives participants a complete, practical grounding in modern surveying, GPS, and GIS technologies, connecting field data collection directly to real setting-out, monitoring, and construction decision-making.
Participants will strengthen their understanding of the total station as a core instrument for precise construction measurement, and will build practical competency in using GPS technologies for positioning and control on active sites. The course places strong emphasis on the fundamentals and modern methods of land surveying, and develops sound skills in producing and interpreting mapping outputs that support accurate, well-coordinated construction delivery.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
