The kit to survey land and grades. A robotic total station, a data collector (rugged tablet), a tripod and prism, a GPS/GNSS rover, and a measuring tape and rod. The plans are only as good as the measurements; the gear makes the measurements true.

FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Robotic total station?
Yes for production surveying — a robotic total station tracks the prism and is operated by one person at the rod, doubling productivity over a manual two-person crew. The standard for boundary and construction layout.
GNSS rover?
Yes for open-sky work — a GNSS/RTK rover gives centimeter accuracy over a large area fast, where a total station is line-of-sight-limited. Open field: GNSS; built-up: total station; carry both.
Rugged data collector?
Yes — a rugged handheld/tablet runs the survey software and stores the points, surviving the field that kills a phone. The brain of the operation; lose it and you lose the day's data.
Back up the data daily?
Yes — a day of field work is hours of labor; offload and back up the collector every evening. A lost or broken collector with a day of uncollected points is a real, expensive loss.
User Reviews
4.0 / 5.0
Land surveying kit and my hiking kit share the gear-makes-the-measurement-true gospel — a robotic total station and a GNSS rover are line-of-sight vs open-sky. Back up the collector nightly, agreed.
