In quantity surveying it means extracting all the measured items in a drawing so as to create a "bill of materials". For example, if building a home you need to know the quantity of all the materials required, so you 'take off' and list all the lumber, drywall, piping, fittings, tiles, etc., etc.
Survey, surveying, polling. Taking a poll.
Congress created a system for surveying - taking a detailed measurement of an area or land.
In surveying, backsight refers to sighting a previously established point in order to orient the instrument before taking new measurements. This helps ensure accuracy and consistency in surveying work by referencing known points.
oh get off of this i am in a good mood
Leveling in surveying is important to get an accurate measurement. The rise and fall of the grade will cause the measurements to be off, resulting in an inaccurate measurement of plots of land.
Transiting in theodolite surveying refers to the process of aligning the theodolite to a reference point by rotating it horizontally and vertically. This ensures that the theodolite is accurately positioned before taking measurements or readings. Transiting is essential for establishing precise horizontal and vertical angles in surveying work.

General classifications of surveying include geodetic surveying, plane surveying, topographic surveying, cadastral surveying, construction surveying, and hydrographic surveying. Geodetic surveying deals with large-scale measurements of the earth's surface, while plane surveying focuses on small-scale measurements on a flat surface. Topographic surveying involves mapping of the land's natural features, cadastral surveying deals with land parcel boundaries, construction surveying is used for building projects, and hydrographic surveying is for mapping bodies of water and their features.

geomatics differ with surveying in that it encompasses a broad range of disciplines than surveying,let alone surveying is a discipline under geomatics
Land surveying is mapping out land for land development. Hydrographic surveying is mapping bodies of water. Engineering is a type of surveying that has to do with buildings roads and other man made things.
