Setting out engineers and site engineering are important aspects of the construction process, responsible for ensuring that construction projects are executed according to the design specifications and building regulations.

Setting out engineers are responsible for determining the precise location and orientation of the various components of a construction project, such as the foundations, walls, and other structural elements. This involves using surveying and mapping tools to establish the exact position of these elements, and to ensure that they are in the correct position and orientation when construction begins.

Site engineering, on the other hand, refers to the overall management of the construction site, including the coordination of all activities, the scheduling of work, and the supervision of workers and contractors. Site engineers work closely with setting out engineers and other professionals, such as architects and builders, to ensure that the construction project is completed according to the design specifications, within the budget and time constraints, and to the highest standards of quality.
