The involvement of a surveyor is essential for all engineering projects whether large or small. The following highlights some of the indispensable services provided by surveyors on typical engineering projects:

• At the concept stage, surveyors prepare preliminary plans for discussion and concept development.
• At the design stage, surveyors conduct detailed and precise surveys upon which the project design is based.
• At the construction stage, surveyors set out the precise location of all construction work to ensure compliance with the prescribed accuracy tolerances.

Throughout the project, surveyors continuously monitor all measurements and the positioning of the structure under construction to avoid unnecessary and expensive remedial measures.
