“…It is critical for a surveyor to take the time and care, both in the field and when processing data, to avoid or minimize errors and conduct precise and efficient surveys, layout or monitoring projects [5,6]. These applications and tasks integrate the highly sophisticated graphical capabilities of computer-aided design (CAD) platforms, with the geodetic instrumentations used in the field for observations and data collection.…”

The layout or stake-out is one of the most important assignments of the surveying engineer, and it is of vital importance in the building process, as the designed geometries of the structure ensure the verticality and the correct positioning inside the terrain. The mission of the surveying engineer involves both legal and technical aspects, and the correct planning of the layout process must take into consideration aspects regarding the site conditions, instrumentation used, the required and achievable accuracies, network design and survey methods used. Given the vast applications of geodesy and topography in different domains and industries, the study incorporates general notions and technical aspects regarding the workflow in cadastre and construction surveying, guidelines for an efficient design of site layout plan with on-site applicability, as well as a novel comparison between four methods of construction lines geometry layout on batter boards. The results of this study aim to further consolidate the importance of accurate and efficient construction layout projects, with comprehensive design plans, methods and instrumentation selection, as well as recommendations. The presented discussions and conclusions are of interest to the geodetic community as well as the construction industry, and due to the pragmatic and experimental nature of the research, incorporates technical notes and original results of professional and academic importance.

The uncertainty that comes with planning, constructing, and maintaining buildings is a constant issue for architects and civil engineers. As topography is the framework that unites architecture and landscape, the design and planning projects heavily rely on a range of monitoring, surveying methods and comprehensive field data. Along with the traditional topo-geodetic instrumentation used in land and construction surveying, unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with digital cameras and structure from motion software have been increasingly used recently in a variety of fields to create high-resolution digital elevation models. Despite this widespread use, in the majority of surveying projects it is considered that the topographic representations produced through this technology is inferior to that obtained with surveys conducted using conventional methods, along with other constraints imposed by legislation, environment and weather conditions. While certain limitations of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems are challenging, their advantage for gathering data from a different perspective and the generated outputs have the potential to significantly advance the construction industry. The present article provides an overview of the usefulness of budget UAV systems in developing a methodology that accompanies the conventional survey process for civil engineering applications. Thus, along with the established survey for cadastral and technical documentations necessary for the architectural process, a complementary UAV survey was developed, with subsequent spatial analysis in a geographic information system (GIS), in order to expand the array of deliverables. These include useful orthophoto map, larger-scale and denser representations of the topography, digital surface and terrain models, slope, aspect and solar radiation maps which will offer helpful information and instructions at the start of the construction planning process. The methodology contains two case studies with different degrees of terrain and vegetation challenges, and also presents an accuracy assessment and overall benefits discussion regarding the UAV implementation.
