I'm hoping for some recommendations for a construction surveying text for newbies. I had the Simplified Site Engineering book when I first started out, and I used the heck out of it. I wonder if there is something newer out there, discussing the equipment and techniques being used today, aimed at beginners. Thanks in advance.
There is always the classic , and excellent, Construction Surveying and Layout - By Crawford.
You might also look at Construction Staking: Step by Step Guide (Surveying Mathematics Made Simple Book 13) - By Jim Crume
If you buy one of the Crume books I strongly recommend that you pay the extra for a hard copy, reading it on a Kindle isn't as easy or useful as having a physical book.

Thanks Tom, I'll look at both of them.

i agree with tom wilson on the crawford book. another good choice would be surveying with construction applications, by kavanaugh
Thanks Moe.

I'll third the Crawford book. Really thorough. Covers everything from equipment adjustments, communication, notes, procedures (multiple methods). Very good book.
