Calculate Elevation & Grade with a Builders Level

[@krukarlukasz3834]

Not only your work is perfect, your videos as well. Simple, educational and fun. Just brilliant!

[@leansurvey8212]

What a kind compliment, thank you. Sometimes the processing takes a VERY long time because I want to present the ideas as perfectly as I can.

[@ConnorMathis-ti1kf]

This is extremely helpful! Newbie trying to learn.

[@leansurvey8212]

I love to hear that Conor. I definitely want folks at any level be able to understand the concepts and process in the video start to finish.

[@danielcimarosti7579]

I thought the new videos were over with. Great to see new content. Thank you for your videos.

[@leansurvey8212]

Thanks, got some new ideas and some new fire. Always appreciate folks in the comments promoting specific needs as well!

[@danielcimarosti7579]

@@leansurvey8212 no troubles. I have a Trimble total robotic station. I’m looking at error adjustment for Arc Second Deviation. I’m not sure how often this is taken into consideration with surveyors as a normal practice. I haven’t seen anything at all about it, not one mention of it really. I guess with GNSS there is really no need for it anymore.

Great video. Can you expand on this topic to the procedures for setting building stakeout elevation with the level. Proposed grades. Keep the videos coming. They are really helpful.

[@leansurvey8212]

I’ve got a video about laser level basics coming out in the morning that I think will answer the question you are asking. Let me know if it doesn’t and we’ll dial in your specific question.

Good to see you back! Great video as always!

[@leansurvey8212]

Thank you Humberto!

Great video but what I would have done to make the math easier is when looking through the level at the backlight I would have turned the screws all in the same direction to lower it to eliminate that .003 and get a round number rod reading of 5.22.

A video detailing transferring building grid lines to multiple floors would be great ! Any future books planned?

[@leansurvey8212]

@@wsyler9922 thanks for mentioning that one. I created a “low budget” video for field engineers and surveyors for in-person trainings a while back- I need to get started on one for this channel that is detailed enough to really communicate the process.

how to operate total station

[@user-pz9cr3ho5l]

What would you include in a resume that really stands out? I want to move up in position from Rodman to crew chief. I know almost everything there is to know thanks to my crew chief. however I don’t want to waste my youth waiting for someone to step down especially when I see constant mistakes being done from the instrument man along with other people which I find really really easy and simple. I want to be put to the test, And I want to show people how much better I can do the job. right now I’m doing construction surveying But I would love to move to a bigger company with better pay and more opportunities to grow. I live in Dallas Texas if anyone has any recommendations please let me know

Anyone have videos or classes on how the office person calculates points? Or read plan sheets what else it there to learn on auto-cad

[@leansurvey8212]

@@user-pz9cr3ho5l There are autoCAD basics on this channel, any specifics you are referring to from a calculation standpoint, maybe I can help?

@@leansurvey8212 we get sent allignments for streets and other infrastructures but I believe those are calculated correct?

@@leansurvey8212How does one calculate locations, by scaling in the plan sheet? You can also create your own scale right from the plan sheets
