1. Setting Out Building by
Coordinates

A building can be set out by taking
referencing from an already established baseline. An irregular building or a
building having a complex geometry can be also be located using the same
method. For each corner of the building, a grid line can be established from
the baseline.

3. Checking Verticality:

To check verticality of points in a
building, the following surveying instruments can be used:

Plumb Bob (For
buildings less than 20m in height)
Optical
Plummet (A transparent plastic sheet is used as a target for checking
verticality of tall buildings)
Theodolite
