What is Surveying?
Answer
Surveying is the art and science of determining the relative positions of points on, above, or beneath the Earth's surface.
Surveying is the fundamental art and science of precisely determining the relative positions of points on, above, or beneath the Earth's surface. This is achieved by means of direct or indirect measurements of distance, direction, and elevation. The primary objective is to prepare accurate plans, maps, or 3D models that represent the Earth's features, which are essential for engineering, construction, mapping, and legal boundary determination.
