What is Surveying for Construction (UK Higher Education Engineering Civil Engineering) about?

While maintaining directness and clarity - successful features of earlier editions - this new fourth edition of Surveying for Construction has been completely revised and rewritten to take account of recent developments in surveying instrumentation and computing techniques. In response to numerous requests, the chapter on setting out has been greatly amended and enlarged, and a completely new chapter, on radial positioning and use of mapping systems, has been added.
