The up-dated and now in colour second edition.
An ideal text book for anyone who wants to study Surveying.
Full of graphics and explanations, this book covers the fundamentals from setting up and adjustments of surveying instruments, through to on-site techniques.
Written by a former College lecturer it is based on over 25 years of teaching Surveying students. It isn't intended to replace a Surveying course. It will be very useful if a lecture has been missed, or an issue unclear.
Spiral bound makes it easy to use when out in the field. Complicated details are clearly explained using worked examples.
In addition to the practical aspects of actual surveying, health and safety issues are addressed. Not as 'bolt on bits', but real life examples.

- It is in colour - making the information easier to understand
- Plenty of graphics

- Worked examples set out on 'booking sheets'
- Practical methods used in setting out for foundations, skeletal framed structures
Some Civils works such as:

- recording contours
The techniques used on high rise buildings:
- how to check for verticality
- how to transfer levels onto concrete slip-form stair / lift towers

Reviews
A must have book! [ Caroline Robinson - 29th Jan 2020]
After 25 years of renting I am finally a home owner. This book is amazing. I am quite good at DIY and love to save money and try and do things myself if I can (except gas work of course) and this book is invaluable. Easy to follow instructions and list of tools needed too. Very cleverly written and constructed, as if the writer has first hand experience in all tasks listed in the book. I would not be without it and have even advised a couple of friends to get it. I cannot recommend this book enough. Got us out of a few situations we could solve ourselves without having to pay a tradesman saving us a fortune.
Delivery prompt a really useful book [Karen Birch - 24th Sept 2019]

[Susan Dooley - 25th Jul 2019]
Very speedy delivery. Every aspect covered, clearly and succinctly, with an excellent contents list for ease of reference, and index at the back. This book had just the right touch oh humour to make it light and easy to take in, whilst providing all the professional expertise.
I heartily recommend this book to anyone buying a property, not just first time buyers.
