Main Way to Increase Surveying Productivity

Think practical, you may have to explain it to a judge who was not a real property lawyer.

When I'm leaving a job site, I drive about 40 feet away, get out, and look to see what I was about to leave behind.

Nevermind. I think you're referring to points 1 and the latter part of 3.

They are actually compatible. Though I will say that if you're very good at 1, then some of the points in 3 are not required. You can shoot and code everything in the field, yet still take field notes.

The main benefit behind point 1 is consistency. If you can develop a workflow that works for big surveys, then that can usually be used for almost every survey and then you can use the same workflow for every job.

Yes, sorry, couldn't post from my new phone yet!! I just meant that all five of those tips, while good advice, clearly are pointed to the type of surveying this particular person has experience with. It's not a one size fits all when you are trying to get down to the detail level he talks about.

I could give five pointers about the specific boundary surveying I do in my city, but it surely wouldn't be valid for a majority of professionals.

1. A shaved head reduces wind resistance and allows you to move between points faster 😀

That is possibly the most arrogant set of ideas I've ever heard on this site.

You didn't invent a new moustrap and your ideas, while somewhat founded, do not take into account the different dynamics that each surveying office and field exist in.

In short, you're wrong on so many levels and you got smacked by Wendell so you were going for the shock and awe technique anyway.

Errm.

The ideas are pretty reasonable IMO.

They're pretty much
1) Be consistent
2) Know what you're doing
3) Don't skimp on the fundamentals
4) Know what you're doing/There's always a way to improve
5) Know what you're doing/There's always a way to improve

They are hardly arrogant. They're good advice.

The poster may post spam, and possibly be a generally bad poster, but in this circumstance his advice is useful, well written and succinct.
