11-85, was my first job as a rod man. I worked for big architect firm named " H.N.T.B " I learned a lot in those couple of years. Now at 56 years of age I want to get back into land survey, we didn't have GPS/GNSS, cad computers were just beginning. So I'll be tuned in. 🙂keep up the good work.
This is a great video. A surveyor should always have a short explanation of what they consider land surveying to be. As they progress as a student or a surveyor they should keep track of how their definition changes throughout their semesters or years of experience.
Good work . And helpful video of all. May I ask how I can relocate a land using technical description or (bearing and distance ) by using SurvCE base and rover equipments?
You are right on this 👉 point stop it. Because some property owner they don't know about survey they don't have knowledge .on the site they say this is sewerage line and road by using hand wave 👋 to show surveyor it's ridiculous.sometime they occupy othere land.
Rami, why does your head office worker look like a space alien? lol. Anyway, this is a outstanding video due to all the points you covered so well My favorite part was when you called it a Art and that is so true. On another subject I wish it was illegal to make a deed or transfer any land ownership without a legal survey. I know people in my county who have been in a land dispute for almost 30 years because it was never surveyed and the parties don't want it surveyed to bring peace. That brings me to my next point. Shouldn't the county court go ahead and over rule both or all these parties and have the land surveyed and subdivided?
What is the necessary qualifications for buying a computer for all office work for land surveying. Processor, screen card and for all. For an average land surveyor.
What do you mean, "necessary qualifications?" If you mean how MUCH? Cheap. Honestly, my office uses garbage cards and old dells to run cad. The only thing is...GETTING THE DATA. You would either have to hand calculate, find a free data collector (or use your phone as one)...and pay someone to use it. Let me explain. In this industry, most of our equipment is dogshit in terms of technology. Some newer gps' are cool, but compared to a new phone, its always slow as hell. What you are paying for, is the program (and sometimes equipment) that runs it. For instance, Carlson, allegro, (idk if they are still a company) Trimble...etc. These companies essentially charge for a license to use it. I believe anyone can buy one, but they are VERY expensive. I HAVE SEEN some apps claim to replicate this function with your phone...as a data collector, and a simple program to import your projects into cad in an acceptable form. I have not tried them, however. If you had a total station with bluetooth (between 2-4k used for a decent one that works, and has been calibrated)...you could theoretically just hook it up to your phone...and you could use your phone as the data collector, and an import device. You just would be very limited. I believe this was catered to police for crash data collection and whatnot. So in short, the computer itself, very cheap. The equipment, less cheap. The program license...quite expensive. As far as whether or not you have to have any license to do any of this, no. As "new construction" doesn't even require one. However, you will become very limited if you dont have a person that can stamp. Hope this helps.
So much to comment on. I appreciate this is a short form overview so it is necessarily short on detail. As a Real Estate professional, I have never once encountered an agent that would assert where property bounds are. In fact, it is drilled into our heads to be risk averse, so much so that you'll be lucky to get any definitive answers to ANY questions, which is maddeningly frustrating actually. You must have had some atypical and extraordinarily bad experiences. I am also a licensed septic designer and as such do topographic surveys and as-found boundary surveys, in addition to doing legal description surveys for land use planning. My experience is that there is a lot of disagreement between legal descriptions, and boundary line surveys (I just finished a video series relating to this topic). Currently I am looking at two plans and boundary surveys of the same lot by surveyors I have worked with and respect and one or the other or both got "North" wrong. In fact I am amazed at how many surveyors can't, won't or don't know how to orient North, and those that do, never indicate how they did. A pet peeve of mine, and the topic of a video I am preparing for my channel, is how poorly, and with how little care and professionalism, surveyors seem to take when it comes to monumentation. It has, and seemingly continues to be, a very difficult task. I have so many examples that it has been quite the challenge to make the video. Interestingly, a few weeks ago I came from a convention and after hearing a talk by a long time surveying professional, coupled with your many excellent videos, I realize that pretty soon boundary surveys and surveyors as we know them may be headed towards replacement or elimination. My latest surveying video touches on this. I'd be interested on hearing your thoughts on this. Keep up the excellent work!
I doubt they'll be eliminated or replaced. But eventually you will just go put an object on each property pin, and fly a drone up, and that will be that. 🤣 Not quite there, yet, however. Hell, we still use old tech and 3 or 4 man crews on most of our jobs, because its simply faster. Ive been laughed at by other companies for my outdated topcon (when I had it) and still now my im55. But they'll laugh having already been set up for a title...we leave in 45 minutes, and they are still fiddling. Even other large companies contracted to do commercial subdivisions...so it's canned for them as well. 🤣 Sometimes, its just faster to tell a guy to be ready at the next shot with a second rod, or hold a tree branch. 🤣
Rami, I love what you’re saying but between you talking so fast plus having the annoying music playing too loud in the background is taking its toll on me. I’m sorry but tone down the background noise or eliminate it, so I (we) can absorb some of your instructions. You’re very good at what you do, so that’s not the problem.
My friend your videos are awsome but I'd would like to understand What is the difference betwen Land Surveying and Topographical Surveying?. I'm not native english speaker.
Topographical is a type of land surveying. Topographical surveys show vertical (or height) differences. The same way a boundary (or property) survey shows the outline of a property.
@@germanjimenez2702 of course, my dude. The best way to think of a topographical survey that I have been able to express...is, imagine you are trying to import a real landscape into a video game via wireframe. Where would you take shots to be the most accurate? Lots of goobers just do whats called "gridding it out." Which is every 25' ish, you take a shot. But any time a piece of concrete changes level, you need a shot, depending on what the intention of the survey is. For instance, I had a guy who wanted to expand on a sorority based on 1st and 2nd floor level, the available ground/concrete in that area (it was flat but there was conc there, so he needed to figure out how much he would need to demo/replace and how that would look) so we took finished floor elevations as compared to waste water manhole descriptions... as well as a full topo for the property. That way his engineers were able to assess how to most effectively design the new wing and tie into the sewer. (as 2 bathrooms were going in there) Theres also trying to build into a hill as an example. They need to know how steep the hill is and approximately how much dirt/rock they will have to cut. As well as where the replacement sidewalk would go, and the cost to install that. Its quite important for estimates of cost and designing to geographical features. Always 1 love, -surveyor
In the early 80s yes, closer to the 2000s we start to see early generations of static GPS, but mainstream RTK GNSS in every survey truck and was not around until late 2000‘s.
next time reduce the volume of your video background music or just dont put it,,i just had to stop after a minute because it was creating some confusion while am listening....just an advice though
I see surveyors as deceptive people. The reason I say that is the use of GEOID height in benchmark data. It's hypothetical. That is troublesome for me and it puts a dark cloud on all surveyors because they all accept it as fact.

What a great and concise video. This is a really good video to show someone who knows nothing about land surveying.
- LSI
Really appreciating details about the full scale surveying! Thanks a lot ❤️❤️
Great video as always! Now when someone asks me why I’m choosing this “boring” profession I can show them this haha
Great information and presentation! Thank you. If you lower the music volume just a bit it won't compete as much with the wisdom your sharing.
This is a great video. A surveyor should always have a short explanation of what they consider land surveying to be. As they progress as a student or a surveyor they should keep track of how their definition changes throughout their semesters or years of experience.
The definition of surveying will always change!
Awesome video! Love your passion for surveying
Can you do some videos on understanding the different datum’s and coordinate systems. You explain things well.
Hi Rami pretty cool your vídeos, May I suggest a topic? How it is to a foreign apply to a Survey jobs in country like US…
Please help me with the details of boundary surveying
definitly an NJ Surveyor right here!
Hey question
With the Reach View 3, can you check distances and perform other cogo functions?
Good work . And helpful video of all.

Ultimately a Court of law will make the determination. But make no mistake, the survey(s) are only one consideration.

Take us on a tour of that beverage bar!
I am a surveyor too dude🤝
very informative video!
Hahahahahahaha STOP IT, STOP IT , Que grande eres Rami
So total stations are better than any GNSS? What about PPP or using CORS with a virtual station
Are more accuracy
As for accuracy on small projects, YES. For larger projects, it doesnt matter much anyway. Being a 10th off doesnt matter.

awesome man
Great job
Really helpful 👍🏼
good job
He looks like NAV "Canadian Rapper"
nice furniture
hello Doktor Rami temimi Can you Translate to Arabic I'm studying land engineering in Turkey
1980 to 2000 gps exclusively used by military ??? that is mistake
In the early 80s yes, closer to the 2000s we start to see early generations of static GPS, but mainstream RTK GNSS in every survey truck and was not around until late 2000‘s.
Damn boy you eatin good
Hey man, my wife cooks good food 😂
you're background music should be quieter. It's very distracting.

This nilla really said FEETS 😂😂😂

Stop it…I fell out of my chair laughing…I’ve been surveying for nearly 30 years…just because someone owns a tape measure doesn’t make them a surveyor
YES…PLEASE STOP IT!!!!
