Height of collimation method
• A preferred method at construction site (for construction site
surveyors or civil engineers)
• The height of collimation method of booking levelling runs can also
be known as the height of instrument method.

Contouring
Contouring in surveying is the determination of elevation of various
points on the ground and fixing these points of same horizontal
positions in the contour map.
E.g., to determine the best possible route
and amount of earthwork required.
