Setting Out Dubai & UAE
Construction stakeout — translating approved design coordinates onto the ground.
What Is Setting Out?
Setting out (construction stakeout) is the critical process of translating approved design coordinates from the drawing onto the physical construction site — establishing reference lines, column grids, pile positions, slab edges, and level benchmarks for construction teams to work from. Errors at this stage compound through the entire build. Vigo Burj's setting-out teams operate with calibrated total stations and RTK GPS, following documented method statements and producing a written verification report for every setting-out campaign.
