Laying Out and Staking

The document discusses the process of laying out and staking a building site, which involves establishing the perimeter outlines and foundation plan measurements on the ground. This is done by driving stakes into the ground and attaching horizontal batter boards to serve as a reference plane. A level transit instrument is used to transfer points and establish boundaries, while plastic hoses filled with water and strings or cords connect points to lay out horizontal lines.
