Well spotted little miss picky. I suppose I see setting out as surveying in the sense that it is using theodolites and the such, which I see as surveying equipment. When I worked at a building and land survey firm we did a fair amount of setting out. Hmm. Semantics is always interesting. I agree that 'to set out' is opposite to 'to survey' but still think setting out is part of the surveying practice. Anywho. Yeah, that is a damn good point you raise. Well spotted little miss picky.

Anywho.

Setting out = "Using plans and specifications to set out the proposed buildings structure in the correct dimensions and spacing to the relevant building code requirements." Surveying = "The practice of measuring angles and distances on the ground so that they can be accurately plotted on a map" Haha..
