The RICS Geomatics faculty have once again update their client guides.
I find these guides a useful resource to occasionally refer to myself and recommend that my team read them as well - many of whom are currently undertaking the RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) or are going through the Approved Development Scheme with the CICES.
They are a great resource for clients or anyone who wants to understand Geomatics to a greater extent. They try to explain in plain English the sometimes complex, opaque world of geomatics and surveying to a non-surveyor audience.
Professionals such as engineers, architects, developers and planners will find them invaluable and the guides can also act as an aid memoire for professional and technical members of RICS.
The guides are also useful for helping clients and potential clients better understand the nuances of subjects such as map projection scale factor, scale, calibration and accuracy amongst others. In many cases it may also be appropriate to include a guide within a tender application or to be sent directly to prospective clients. RICS members are encouraged to actively use these guides.
Guides include:
- Terrestrial Laser Scanning
- Map Projection Scale Factor
Avoid the Potential Dangers of Scale Factor
- Scale
Avoid Tripping up Over Step Changes in Scale
- Reassuringly Accurate
Controlling Accuracy for Better Results
- Marine, Offshore and Coastal
An RICS Perspective
- Virtually Level
Transition from familiar benchmark to heighting using GPS
- Applications of Aerial Photography and Digital Imagery
