What tools are commonly used in architectural surveying and mapping?

I study surveying and mapping, and I also worked as an intern on the construction site for a period of time during the summer vacation, so I still know a little! Total station, theodolite and level are all used for building, but the instruments used in each period are different! When laying the foundation, the total station is mainly used for lofting; After each layer of construction, mainly use theodolite and level to determine the elevation!

The price of these instruments is uncertain, depending on what brand you want: total station imports hundreds of thousands, such as Topcon, and some domestic tens of thousands can be done; Theodolite is only tens of thousands; Thousands can buy a good level.

Total station needs some professional software, such as CAD, CASS!

These instruments are too expensive to import. If it is not some big companies or enterprises, it is recommended to buy south surveying and mapping instruments, which can be said to be the most popular among domestic instruments. Even the performance of some instruments can be comparable to that of imported ones!
