    Title: Setting out of the corner of building
    Introduction:
    Construction surveying (known as “lay-out” or “setting-out”) is to stake out reference points
    and markers that will guide the construction of new structures such as roads or buildings.
    Construction surveying is generally performing the following tasks:
    • Survey existing conditions of the future work site, including topography, existing
    buildings and infrastructure, and even including underground infrastructure whenever
    possible; (for example, measuring invert elevations and diameters of sewers at manholes).
    • Stake out reference points and markers that will guide the construction of new
    structures;
    • Verify the location of structures during construction;
    • Conduct an As-Built surveying: a survey conducted at the end of the construction
    project to verify that the work authorized was completed to the specifications set on plans.

    Objective:
    1. Carry out accurate setting out.
    2. Carry out all the necessary calculations to establish the setting-out points.
    3. Work as a team in order to execute a larger scale surveying work.
    Diagram:
    Procedure:
    1. A theodolite or total station is set up over a point which the picket located.
    2. The instrument is then pointed at another point using ranging pole as reference
    point in order to orientate the instrument to north. If a conventional theodolite is
    being used it normal to turn the instrument to north and reset the horizontal angle
    to zero.
    3. Set the bearing of P1 from the theodolite and use the arrow as reference of bearing.
    4. Use the prism with prism pole to locate the distance until the theodolite give the
    signal which it received the data.
    5. Use the arrow to set the location so that the prism can move to another position.
    6. Follow the step 3-5 to locate another point of corner of building until the end of the
    point.

    Tabulation data:
    No.point Bearing Distance(m) Remark
    P1 20˚ 00’ 00” 5.0 Corner of building
    P2 68˚ 08’ 22” 12.617 Corner of building
    P3 114˚ 32’ 35” 12.854 Corner of building
    P4 128˚ 18’ 52” 12.854 Corner of building
    P5 141˚ 03’ 13” 8.552 Corner of building
    P6 168˚ 21’ 41” 10.675 Corner of building
    P7 162˚ 07’ 28” 5.571 Corner of building
    Planning plot:
    DISCUSSION
    1. The observation is important before start setting out because we would know where
    the proposed building should be located properly within our boundary line without
    sighting disturbance.
    2. Bubble in the instrument has to be centred correctly in order to get an accurate
    result
    3. For the first check we have to use a prism to ensure the measured distances are the
    same with the distances given.

    CONCLUSION
    • Based on the result that we get, our data is fulfil the allowable measurement
    which is the bearing not more than 30” and distance is less than 30mm by
    comparing the obtained data with measured data.
