Below is a sample chapter from the ultra useful book, "Construction Surveying and Layout" by Wesley G Crawford.  You will see that this book is PACKED with tutorials, best practices, tips and tricks for construction surveying. I'd be willing to bet that even the most experienced surveyors will learn quite a bit from this literature.  This sample chapter is all about "Chaining Distance" which members of our group Endangered Art of Chaining will certainly appreciate.  Dive right in!   If you'd like to purchase the entire book for digital download, simply head over to the Creative Construction site and they'll get you all set up!
