Colorado Land Surveyor Practice Exam

Which of the following activities is NOT included in professional land surveying?

1. Restoration of boundaries

2. Preparation of boundary control portions of GIS

3. Construction project management

4. Surveying of easements and rights-of-way

The correct answer is: Construction project management

The activity that is not included in professional land surveying is construction project management. Professional land surveying primarily involves the measurement and mapping of land, which includes determining precise boundary lines, preparing surveys for easements and rights-of-way, and ensuring accurate restoration of boundaries, all integral tasks for various legal and planning purposes. While construction project management may involve some aspects of land surveying, such as the oversight of site development or ensuring construction adheres to the surveyed boundaries, it encompasses a broader range of responsibilities such as planning, coordination, budgeting, and supervision of subcontractors, none of which are fundamental duties of a land surveyor. Thus, construction project management is outside the primary scope of professional land surveying.
