Construction Layout

What is Construction Layout?

Construction layout, also known as construction staking, is the process of marking exact locations on the ground for proposed structures and site features based on approved construction plans. This ensures that every element—from buildings and roads to utility lines and setbacks—is positioned accurately before construction begins.

At Decker Land Surveying, we use precise surveying techniques to stake out:

 

  • Building Foundations & Walls

  • Curb & Sidewalk Locations

  • Roads & Driveways

  • Sewer & Utility Lines

  • Property Lines & Setbacks

  • Solar Panel Arrays

Why is Construction Layout Essential?

A construction layout ensures that every phase of development aligns with the project’s blueprints, preventing costly mistakes, rework, and project delays. It's especially critical for:
 

Tight Lot Lines & Setbacks

  • Avoid encroachments and ensure compliance with zoning laws.

Infrastructure Projects

  • Accurate placement of roads, drainage, and utilities for proper function.

Complex Builds with Multiple Subcontractors

  • Keep everyone on the same page with precise staking.

Solar Installations

  • Ensure optimal panel placement for maximum energy efficiency.
