    That is not a job for a layman. If the seller does not have a factory trained technician, send it back to the manufacturer to be calibrated.

    What happened, crash landing?

  based on my observation, correct me if I'm wrong. 1 meter offset in all the grid-lines is enough. But be sure to established it accurately and in one side only to make it uniform and is not confusing. If you want it at left-side, then make your offset all left-side of the grid-lines...

    Good morning,

    Based on my experience, it depends to much on what kind of equipment you are using and the expertise you have. If a theodolite you have to set it in almost each grid to establish the position of the structural elements (OLD METHOD). If a Total Station (Manual or Robotic), you just need 2 points given by the surveyors, the distance of this points to the grid lines and ready to go. Additional docs such as the AutoCAD dwg's are very useful, and good staking software.

    Hope it helps.

      Thank you very much Mr. Ivan for your good ideas. I may ask again. Anybody have an ideas on how to RUN a CONTROL POINTS up to the NEXT LEVEL of STRUCTURE and so on..And what will be the PROCEDURE and the EQUIPMENT that we need to use? Hope youcan help Guyz...

  Lots of variables there but you will need to ensure your equipment is accurate.  If you don't know how to check this yourself then take it to a technician.  Your prism pole bubble should also be checked.  I would suggest a short pole when possible.....less error.  The building will have "grid lines" on the construction drawings.  You will need to set up an offset for these gridlines on all sides of the building.  Take much care in setting these points because they are the basis by which the first floor will be laid.  The contractor will probably want you to lay on the anchor bolts for the steel beams or they may just ask for the center point of each column.  These could normally be done radially if the building wasn't going to be very tall......If the building is tall and the contractor just wants the center points then definitely set up on each grid line offset and back sight the opposite side for your straight line.  The contractor can make a templet  for the bolts and square things up with string line.  No matter what you do be careful with your staked out foresights......close range is best for angular accuracy.  Like I said earlier....a short calibrated pole is best when possible too.  Your project will depend on a accurate base grid from the beginning.

    which is most accurate method by manual chaining or total station method(coordinates)?

    Thank you very much Mr. Fred Franklin. These are best fit to my queries. Very much appreciated. Very much useful for me. I just want to ask additional info, If we are going to establish an offset, is there an standard offset distance to be follow, let say 1 meter offset leftside in all of the grid-lines/ or we just make any offset we want depends on the site situation? TY.

  Not to be blunt but... should someone without the skills to answer this question for themselves be involved in building a high-rise?

  this is not a question that anyone can answer without more details
