we do?
LeanSurvey is Elevate Construction’s program that merges Field Engineering and Surveying into one lean, efficient system for construction teams.
The mission of LeanSurvey is to merge the worlds of Field Engineering and Surveying together in the most efficient manner possible. Watch as Brandon Montero leads the way with some of the best practices in the industry.
What is
Surveying?
Surveying is the practice and science of measuring and mapping the land, its features, and its boundaries. It involves determining the relative positions of points on the Earth’s surface, as well as the distances and angles between them. Surveying is crucial in various fields such as construction, engineering, land development and mapmaking.
What is
Field Engineering?
Field Engineering is the practice of using layout and control techniques on a construction site to control the accuracy and precision of the build. Field Engineers provide front-line quality and safety management in addition to creating lift drawings, layout and control.
Elevating Construction Surveyors: Step by Step Guide for Remarkable Surveying in Construction (The Art of the Builder)
By Brandon Montero (Author) | Jason Schroeder (Author)
To be a great surveyor you must learn to merge the application of state of the art procedure and technology with the time tested back-to-basic fundamentals of survey and layout. Concepts like chaining, three-wire-leveling, averaging angles and traversing control are just as applicable today as they have always been. Knowing how to use a total station and data collector does not make a Surveyor.

FAQ
LeanSurvey is Elevate Construction’s field surveying and field-engineering service that helps construction teams collect accurate layout and measurement data efficiently, reducing errors and rework on site.
Field surveying is the process of measuring and laying out points, lines, and elevations on a jobsite so work is built in the right place—the foundation of accurate, coordinated construction.
LeanSurvey offers survey consulting and problem-solving, 1:1 coaching, and a hands-on Survey Bootcamp that trains field engineers and surveyors in efficient, accurate surveying.
Field engineers, surveyors, superintendents, and project teams who want more accurate layout, fewer field errors, and stronger surveying skills.
The Survey Bootcamp is an immersive training program that teaches surveyors and field engineers step-by-step methods for accurate, efficient field surveying, backed by the book “Elevating Construction Surveyors.”
Accurate surveying prevents misplaced work, reduces rework and delays, and keeps trades coordinated—saving time and cost across the project.
