Across
  1. 5. Imaginary lines on a site plan that connect points of the same elevation.
  2. 9. Permissible variations from a standard or specification.
  3. 10. Refers to a line that is perpendicular to the plumb only at one point on a line.
  4. 11. Is a direction indicated on construction drawings that typically refers to the top of a page.
  5. 12. A reading taken on a leveling rod held on a point of known elevation to determine the height of the leveling instruments.
  6. 13. This rule refers to the relative lengths of the sides of a right triangle.
  7. 17. A line begins at one point and ends at another point.
  8. 18. A drawing that identifies footing types and specifies the location and elevation of a building's foundation.
  9. 19. The recorded legal boundaries of a piece of property.
  10. 20. This instrument is used to check, establish, and transfer grades and elevations.
  11. 23. Physical structure that marks the location of critical survey points.
  12. 24. Drawing that shows the design of the project.
  13. 27. The direction indicated on construction drawings that shows how property lines and buildings are positioned on a site relative to compass or magnetic north.
  14. 28. A corner that is exactly 90 degrees.
  15. 30. A measurement of how much the ground varies from horizontal.
  16. 34. A measuring device used with conventional leveling instruments.
  17. 35. A designated boundary line beyond which a building cannot extend.
  18. 36. An older style level made from a length of clear flexible tubing filled with water.
  19. 37. Angles formed by two lines or rays that measure exactly 90 degrees.
Down
  1. 1. The longest side of a right triangle.
  2. 2. A geometric theorem for right triangles states that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
  3. 3. A set of engineered drawings depicting the physical structure and components comprising the structure of a project.
  4. 4. This instrument replaces older-style plumb bobs by using a laser to project dots either vertically, horizontally, or at right angles to each other.
  5. 5. Drawings that show the location of the building on the site from an overhead view, including contours, trees, construction features, and dimensions.
  6. 6. The minimum distance, as required by regulatory authorities, between a property line and building lines.
  7. 7. Refers to a surface being perfectly horizontal.
  8. 8. The elevation of the line of sight of the telescope relative to a known elevation.
  9. 14. A legal right-of-way provision on another person's property.
  10. 15. Refers to a surface being perfectly vertical.
  11. 16. Markers used in surveying projects to designate grade or location information such as property boundaries, building corners, setbacks, and elevations.
  12. 21. An elevation reference point created by the surveyor on or close to the property.
  13. 22. Angles that are perpendicular to one an
  14. 25. Specific points created on the site, where they are used as elevation and dimension reference points during site and building layout.
  15. 26. The process of adjusting the slope or elevation of soil prior to and during the building construction.
  16. 29. The average height of the surface of the ocean.
  17. 31. A reading taken on a leveling rod held on a point in order to determine a new elevation.
  18. 32. A set of lines, typically horizontal and vertical, placed in a telescope used for sighting purposes.
  19. 33. A short auxiliary scale set parallel to a primary scale.
