Glossary of Construction Survey Terms

  • A representation of the final constructed product, these drawings or plans document the exact location, size, and specifications of all elements of a construction project, showing how it was really built versus how it was intended to be built.

  • A feature or accessory structure associated with a main building or piece of land. Appurtenances enhance or support the function or value of the primary property, such as a garage or shed.

  • A line on a map or diagram that connects points of equal elevation, representing the shape and elevation of the land's surface.

  • A vertical distance or measurement, usually from sea level, that indicates how high a particular point is located. When used in architecture, it can also refer to a flat representation of a side of a building or structure.

  • The slope or level of land, usually expressed as a percentage, indicating the degree of incline. When used in construction, it may also refer to the process of leveling out the land in preparation for building.

  • A detailed map or chart of a specific land area depicting boundaries, easements, lot numbers, roads, and other vital details. This term is often used in property sales, development, or land-use planning.

  • An established path or route that grants individuals or entities the legal right to pass through specific areas of a property. While it often refers to roads or pathways, it can also indicate spaces for utilities, railroads, or public access. This easement ensures that specific spaces remain accessible for their intended purposes.

  • The study and depiction of the physical features (both natural and man-made) of an area, as well as its elevations and depressions. This aspect helps with understanding the landscape's contour, which can be crucial for construction and development projects.
