 This Book It Is Expected That The Reader Will "Read And Do" August 13, 2008
".....When writing this book I have assumed that the reader is interested in construction surveying and layout.
It is also assumed that the reader has a background in basic algebra, basic geometry, and the fundamentals of trigonometry and that the reader has a basic knowledge of the terminology of construction.
To learn from THIS BOOK IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE READER WILL "READ AND DON"....."

Great information, thought it helped me identify areas I needed improvement and refreshed areas I already knew. A must for any body in Construction Management, not just field engineers.
Basic construction surveying examples August 22, 2005
The book has a lot of basic info and formulas and gives examples of field techniques, but unfortunately like most texts I've seen, it doesn't go into enough depth. I was looking for detailed explanations on slope staking but this has only 6 pages on the subject and the only method shown is the use of tape and hand level. No examples of how a total station or GPS can be used to slope stake are given, and no mention of how the stakes themselves should be marked is included.
Probably an ok text for the beginner but it lacks depth.

I have enjoyed each edition of this book. I have successfully trained well over 100 upstart employees successfully using this book. The latest edition, and I feel the best, has more examples with real life solutions to day to day survey operations. If your starting out or a seasoned party chief you'll find this reference very valuable.The techniques are solid and have been proven in the field. This is not a book like maybe some of the others you've looked at. This book will make you a better construction surveyor and also assist you in making the next step into the office side of construction operations. It's a great teaching tool to keep in the truck and conduct training with your subordinates, weather its raining or not. Get this book today! You won't regret it!
