Survey QA checklist for field-to-office review

A field-to-office review checklist covering reports, linework, CRS metadata, exports and PDF evidence. Every item is advisory — it helps a reviewer work through a job, but it does not replace a company QA process or a registered surveyor's sign-off.

Advisory only

Advisory and unverified — not for survey deliverables. A registered surveyor must confirm any output before it is relied on.

What SurveyMarkup can flag or organise

  • Report warnings, residuals and misclosures
  • Linework codes and CRS metadata
  • PDF evidence and needs-review notes

What it cannot prove or certify

  • It does not replace your company QA process
  • It does not certify a survey
  • It does not stand in for surveyor sign-off

Report checks

Scan warnings, residuals, misclosures and skipped lines in the reduction or job report before anything else moves.

  • Warnings and errors reviewed
  • Misclosure and residuals noted
  • Skipped lines accounted for

Linework, CRS and export checks

Confirm feature codes, review CRS metadata and run export-readiness checks before CSV/DXF/GeoJSON/KML handoff.

PDF evidence and sign-off

Link evidence on selectable PDFs, capture needs-review notes, then route everything to a registered surveyor for confirmation.

Worked example · synthetic

A field-to-office handover is worked through top to bottom.

What SurveyMarkup surfaces

  • Report warnings, misclose and residuals noted
  • Linework codes and CRS metadata reviewed
  • PDF evidence linked and a needs-review list captured

Reviewer's call: The checklist complements the company QA process and ends with registered-surveyor sign-off — it replaces neither.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace our company QA?

No. It is an advisory checklist that complements your QA process; it does not replace it or certify anything.

Can I use it across reports, linework and PDFs?

Yes — it spans report, linework, CRS, export and PDF evidence review, all advisory.

Is the checklist a compliance document?

No. It is a review aid. Registered surveyor confirmation is still required.
