Or Layout survey is the process of planning, mapping, distribution /designing and setting
out of such proposed design of Roads, Buildings, Plots, social/ Recreational Facilities and
economy. In order for land to have an economic value, you must be able to use/develop
the land. According to Underwood (2010) the professional surveyor plays four critical

In any government it is expected that land laws and policies should cater for related fields
like agriculture, environment, water supply and housing. However, in situations whereby
urban land use planning and managements are uncoordinated these important fields of
human survival will suffer lots of setback. Government acquire large expanse of land
through the process of land acquisition and its agencies are involved in demarcating the
land into plots after the layout survey has been carried out. Interested citizens then apply
for allocation of plots and these plots are distributed to them after screening of the
application forms. In the end statutory right of occupancy to use land are granted to
successful applicants.

Layouts of various land uses such as industrial, residential, commercial and recreational
uses are undertaken to standardize and control physical developments and ensure
harmonious growth.
effective results. This process should include the layout drawing, survey and
recreational facilities and other utilities, which has been approved on paper by the Town
planning authorities. In layout survey operation, the designs are marked on the ground
with beacons and necessary measurements made to obtain coordinates of the beacons by
Land Surveyors. The distribution of layout plots is a process usually involving the Land
Surveyors who are the professionals that carried out the necessary measurements in the
layout survey.
In any Layout survey implementation the professional surveyors has roles from the
planning stage through the execution stage to the development stage. His roles includes
1. He prepares the base map or perimeter plan as the case may be.
3. He prepares the “claims plan” in situations whereby the land is owned by individuals
or communities
4. He extracts data for setting out boundary points from the layout drawing.

Surveying is defined as “taking a general view of, by observation and measurement
determining the boundaries, size, position, quantity, condition, value etc. of land, estates,
building, farms mines etc. and finally presenting the survey data in a suitable form”. This
covers the work of the valuation surveyor, the quantity surveyor, the building surveyor,
Another school of thought define surveying “as the act of making measurement of the
relative position of natural and manmade features on earth’s surface and the presentation
industry. In today's competitive global environment, the optimum facility layout has
become an effective tool in cost reduction by enhancing the productivity. It has become
very essential to have a well organised plant layout for all available resources in an
optimum manner to achieve the maximum returns from the capacity of facilities

is the process of producing a plan or map of a particular Area, Setting out begins with the
plan and ends with some particular engineering project correctly position in the Area.

Communal spaces in high-rise apartments are places for residents to interact and
communicate. Such spaces comprise two main components: the open area and
passageway inside the apartment block, such as the lobby, corridor, public underground
parking, elevator, stairs, gym, and other shared areas; and the associated areas outside the
apartment block, including the ‘public domain interface’, semi-open and open courtyards

We were accompanied into the field by the head of the Lushnja Cadastral Office and one
of the surveyors from this office. Once again we enlisted the help of a village leader who
had been involved in the original allocation of individual parcels. We were able to
recover a nearby geodetic control point, which was used as the base station for the GPS
minutes to recover and set up the base station). Some problems were experienced with
the field identification of the parcel corners because Lumthi was one of the first villages
to be subdivided and allocated to individual families. This meant that almost 3 years had
passed since the work had been completed and the village elder had problems identifying
several boundary lines. This indicates the need for the surveying and mapping process to
follow closely behind the allocation process, especially where no physical markers are

3.4.2 LINEAR MEASUREMENT
The distance of all traverse lines were measured using 50m steel tape from one traverse
point to the other and thus recorded also in the field sheets.
3.5 PERIMETER SURVEY
Perimeter survey is the act of determining the extent, location and area of a landed
property. Layout Perimeter survey is a geo-spatial matrix showing pre-survey and post-
survey plans of subdivided landmass into contiguous plot sizes for the purpose of
development planning and control.
This is a design of building plot, social recreation and road that to access individual plot.
However, is a propose design that has to be approved by authority concern. The design is
usually the work or responsibility of a town planner which has the sound knowledge of
aesthetic arrangement coactivity of land use for health environment as well as easy access
and development.
i. Rectangular layout: this is the laying out of plots of block corner. That is the plots are
either rectangular or square in shape.
ii. Irregular layout: this is the laying out on ground plots that are neither square nor
rectangular in shape, most of these plots are found where there is change in direction
of road and the boundary of these plots forms the road bend.
In the case of this project, the layout design was made on paper according to federal
polytechnic Bauchi, master plan layed on the ground using alignment survey which was
done by occupying one of the boundary control and a straight line was define by aligning
with ranging poles which were placed on various point and observation was made by
back sighting and tape was used to set it on the ground.
19
Base on the maps and plan, various structures are designed. These structures can be
small, such as simple building or culverts and bridge, or big project such as dams and
roads. These structures have to be translated from the plan to the ground in their exact
positions in all three and two dimension. Setting out work is an important process in
layout survey which in back on translating a point from plan to ground on exact position.
The field procedure of setting out a propose design was carried by the following
procedure using theodolite and tape
3.9.1 MONUMENTATION
Also known as PB (property beacon) with the dimension, 18cm x 18cm x 75cm, those
were cast from a good proportion of cement, gravel, sand and water mixed in a ratio of
1:2:3 respectively. When burying, 8cm of the beacons was allowed to be projected out-
side from the ground for easy
beacon numbers on their caps which were cemented with a mixture of cement and
smooth sand.

CHAPTER FOUR
RUNNING OF TRAVERSE
Traverse is the process of connecting a series of line from one point to another, it could
be open traverse or close traverse. Open traverse is the process of connecting a series of
lines from a known point to another unknown point while close traverse is the process of
connecting of series of line from known point and close back to that same known point.
4.2. PLOTTING.
The plotting of the survey was usually carried out with Automated Computer Assisted
Drafting (AUTOCAD) and ArcGIS. The positions were plotted using the ‘point’ tool of
the ‘Survey’ menu. After clicking on the ‘point’ tool, the ‘import points’ option was
chosen and the points were imported from the coordinates processed as comma delimited
files in Microsoft office Excel software. When the points appeared in the AutoCAD
workspace, the ‘line’ drawing tools was used in drawing snapped lines joining the plotted
boundary points.
