This Book It Is Expected That The Reader Will "Read And Do"

".....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"....." [from the book of the preface by Wes Crawford]

Construction Surveying

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.

The Perfect Surveying Guide

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!

Newcomers

I have been working in the field as a chief engineer for 5 years, and have read this book from cover to cover. I would advise any new layout man/woman who plans on starting a career in the field to obtain a copy, and by all means issue these to your rodmen. You will find a drastic improvement on work skills and habbits, and less rework. C.J. Finn

An Excellent Text for Construction Students

I have used this text to teach surveying to Construction Management students who need to only know the basics of construction surveying and layout on the jobsite. I have found this book to be easy for construction students to use and take with them to industry. I look forward to the next edition.
