What Is Construction Layout?

Construction layout—also called staking or site control—translates design plans into precise, real-world locations. Using GNSS/RTK and total station equipment, Prime Engineering establishes control points, building corners, and utility alignments that ensure the project is built exactly as designed.

We support projects from initial clearing to final as-built verification, providing dependable layout services for general contractors, site developers, and engineering teams.
