surveying conventions

Surveying conventions are standardized rules and practices used by surveyors to measure and map land accurately. They include methods for recording positions, angles, and distances uniformly, ensuring consistency and clarity across surveys. These conventions specify the use of reference points, coordinate systems, symbols, and notation to communicate data clearly. Adhering to established conventions helps ensure that surveys are precise, comparable, and legally reliable, facilitating land development, boundary setting, and mapping projects.
