At 360 Surveying Services, our team provides fast and efficient land surveying services and to help you plan your border survey cost, as well as to establish a time frame for your project, we offer free estimates for our construction layout services. For builders, we offer special price packaging, as well. When we provide construction layouts or construction staking, we use construction plans that show the proposed location of the feature. Our team will typically be given a copy of the approved construction plans together with a digital copy, and we will then be able to lay curb stakes and building stakes, as well as grade stakes and any other information that is on the construction plans for your needs.

Construction layout surveys are when a contractor examines blueprints for building plans and marks the ground with stakes to identify each element of the construction site. These elements are typically the house, well site, and location of the septic system. This process is also called “construction staking” and “site layout survey.” Layout work is often started with the identification of underground features such as water lines, electric lines, and storm drains. Next, the contractor will stake any above-ground elements such as building corners or interior grid lines. To ensure that a project follows engineering and architectural design plans, the entire construction surveying and layout process takes place. 

Construction layout plans (also called job site layout plans) describe how construction will go. It includes the construction of the structure(s). It acknowledges:

• Before construction, the investigation process begins
• Temporary facilities such as portable toilets or a foreman’s desk are necessary during the job.
• Material procurement management
• Material handling, storage, and delivery
• Keeping better site records
• Maintain strong communication at the job site and good information flow
• Establishing a strong coordination system between all moving parts
• Performance monitoring

Planning a construction layout can help avoid technical issues. This also helps to save time and money.

Construction stakes, or construction layout are an important step in the beginning stages of construction. These layouts are used to help guide the construction process and prevent costly mistakes when reading blueprints. They are used to indicate:

• Electric features
• Sewer lines
• Roads
• General building structures include homes and offices.
• Corners marked
• Lines of property
• Setbacks
• Wells
• Piles

There are two types of layout processes:

• Site layout construction and staking: This precise method directs physical construction
• Rough construction and staking: This method shows site improvements including slopes or grading

The resulting layout of stakes can be used by a homeowner or contractor to speed up the construction of the project.

A construction layout allows you to designate specific locations for below- and above-ground structures, and our team transfers a layout from construction drawings to the ground. This process shows boundaries, edges, walls, and other locations, providing information about the structure’s length, level, angle, and other location points. Additionally, this process will involve underground utilities, including water, electricity, storm drain, and sewer lines, and once the above-ground elements have been staked, including interior grid lines and building corners, it is time to move on to the next phase. Construction layouts ensure that contractors have a reliable and precise tool for laying out standard construction plans. This includes horizontal dimensions and elevation measurements.
