Commercial construction staking is necessary for several projects, including subdivisions, roads, public services and more complex multi-story construction sites. The creation of a project is essentially the creation of survey points in the field, which will serve as a guide for construction activities. In many ways, construction staking can be seen as the opposite of a survey. The as-built evaluates a building or project at the end to make sure it was built as planned. The construction staking is done at the beginning of the project to ensure that the project will be built according to the plan. A good construction staking of the buildings will lead to a good as-built survey.
Construction staking, especially in commercial applications, require all the skills of a surveyor. They have to conduct topographic and boundary surveys to ensure that the property matches the site plan and technical design. They must also carry out field staking for mass grading, building construction, public services (wastewater, water supply and rainwater), as well as in parking lots, roads, sidewalks or gutters. All these are done even before the surveyor begins to consider the buildings proposed to be on the site.
As soon as the surveyor proceeds to staking the proposed structures, he provides data on the position and slopes of the foundations of buildings, walls and columns. This is an important step in the process. If the foundations of the buildings are not properly staked, this can be a very costly mistake for a construction team and it can completely ruin a job. A knowledgeable surveyor is the best tool for the builder to avoid future basic problems. A good surveyor will create a network of coordinates with horizontal and vertical controls from the beginning of the project and will use it to calculate and determine the exact angles and levels of the proposed structures.
Although many people think that Construction staking is a simple step at the beginning of a project, if it is not done correctly it can have very serious consequences for the rest of the project. In commercial projects, the importance of a well-executed construction staking is increasing, given the larger structures and the enormous amounts of money that affect the design of the building. This is the money and time spent to ensure that a qualified specialist with the appropriate knowledge and experience in surveying conducts a proper construction staking survey for the project
