    Hello Lalith,

    I believe the first known recorded surveyors were in Egypt...."rope stretchers"....and surveyors who built the pyramids....they used water levels....I've heard the term "fleas" around here...they could not build anything without knowing where to build it....right

    Normally they see leech seems measuring when they move,As If we measure something with our to fingers,thats why? But nothing serious about it,Public will not use it,....

    In Sri Lanka plenty of leeches so good comparison with us how they measure on there way,also we are always out in the field!

How to Utilize Surveyor Forums

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
