11-85, was my first job as a rod man. I worked for big architect firm named " H.N.T.B "
I learned a lot in those couple of years.
Now at 56 years of age I want to get back into land survey, we didn't have GPS/GNSS, cad computers were just beginning. So I'll be tuned in. 🙂keep up the good work.

What a great and concise video. This is a really good video to show someone who knows nothing about land surveying.

Really appreciating details about the full scale surveying! Thanks a lot ❤️❤️

[jacksons_drones]

Awesome video! Love your passion for surveying

[Anthracite]

Great information and presentation! Thank you. If you lower the music volume just a bit it won't compete as much with the wisdom your sharing.

[michaelletson]

Great video as always! Now when someone asks me why I’m choosing this “boring” profession I can show them this haha

[milesulschmid]

This is a great video. A surveyor should always have a short explanation of what they consider land surveying to be. As they progress as a student or a surveyor they should keep track of how their definition changes throughout their semesters or years of experience.

Can you do some videos on understanding the different datum’s and coordinate systems. You explain things well.

[Xanngysl]

Hi Rami pretty cool your vídeos, May I suggest a topic? How it is to a foreign apply to a Survey jobs in country like US…

[liptonmensah]

Please help me with the details of boundary surveying

[marcpaultabuena]

Good work . And helpful video of all.
May I ask how I can relocate a land using technical description or (bearing and distance ) by using SurvCE base and rover equipments?

[antoncarey]

Hey question
With the Reach View 3, can you check distances and perform other cogo functions?

[sajiddastan]

You are right on this 👉 point stop it. Because some property owner they don't know about survey they don't have knowledge .on the site they say this is sewerage line and road by using hand wave 👋 to show surveyor it's ridiculous.sometime they occupy othere land.

Take us on a tour of that beverage bar!

What is the necessary qualifications for buying a computer for all office work for land surveying. Processor, screen card and for all. For an average land surveyor.

[armorvestrus]

Rami, why does your head office worker look like a space alien? lol. Anyway, this is a outstanding video due to all the points you covered so well My favorite part was when you called it a Art and that is so true.
On another subject I wish it was illegal to make a deed or transfer any land ownership without a legal survey. I know people in my county who have been in a land dispute for almost 30 years because it was never surveyed and the parties don't want it surveyed to bring peace. That brings me to my next point. Shouldn't the county court go ahead and over rule both or all these parties and have the land surveyed and subdivided?

[rodrigosuarezcastano]

So total stations are better than any GNSS? What about PPP or using CORS with a virtual station

[germanjimenez]

My friend your videos are awsome but I'd would like to understand What is the difference betwen Land Surveying and Topographical Surveying?. I'm not native english speaker.

[starboyeg]

Hahahahahahaha STOP IT, STOP IT, Que grande eres Rami

So much to comment on. I appreciate this is a short form overview so it is necessarily short on detail. As a Real Estate professional, I have never once encountered an agent that would assert where property bounds are. In fact, it is drilled into our heads to be risk averse, so much so that you'll be lucky to get any definitive answers to ANY questions, which is maddeningly frustrating actually. You must have had some atypical and extraordinarily bad experiences. I am also a licensed septic designer and as such do topographic surveys and as-found boundary surveys, in addition to doing legal description surveys for land use planning. My experience is that there is a lot of disagreement between legal descriptions, and boundary line surveys (I just finished a video series relating to this topic). Currently I am looking at two plans and boundary surveys of the same lot by surveyors I have worked with and respect and one or the other or both got "North" wrong. In fact I am amazed at how many surveyors can't, won't or don't know how to orient North, and those that do, never indicate how they did. A pet peeve of mine, and the topic of a video I am preparing for my channel, is how poorly, and with how little care and professionalism, surveyors seem to take when it comes to monumentation. It has, and seemingly continues to be, a very difficult task. I have so many examples that it has been quite the challenge to make the video. Interestingly, a few weeks ago I came from a convention and after hearing a talk by a long time surveying professional, coupled with your many excellent videos, I realize that pretty soon boundary surveys and surveyors as we know them may be headed towards replacement or elimination. My latest surveying video touches on this. I'd be interested on hearing your thoughts on this. Keep up the excellent work!
