Over the last decade or so, Land Surveying has advanced at light speed. Although some
circumstances still call for a surveyor holding a pole to collect data, those days are certainly numbered. Land Surveying is now part of a more comprehensive service within the AEC profession generally known as Geospatial.
To be successful — and provide clients the best service — design firms need all these resources at their fingertips. Otherwise, projects can take longer to complete, cost substantially more, and unnecessarily jeopardize worker safety. Using state-of-the-art geospatial technologies injected new life into a once-static field that was dependent on total stations and GPS receivers.
