What is Surveying in Civil Engineering.

Survey

The word Survey means to know about anything. A person who is doing electric meter reading is actually doing a survey on it. similarly when we go to buy a car or motorbike, we go to different shops to check out the prices and condition of car or bike, so actually we did a Survey.
