How does land surveying work?
A primer on one of the most important companions to civil engineering: land surveyors. Conventional measurement tools like a tape measure and protractor don't work for large civil structures and public works projects. Surveying is essentially the science of measuring big stuff. In this video I give a quick explanation of how surveying works and show a few ways you can do your own leveling survey at home. No sines, cosines, or tangents required!

Permits 101: What are Building Permits?
A building permit is an approval issued by a government agency or jurisdiction having authority (JHA) that gives permit applicants the legal authority to complete construction work. A building or construction permit is an approval issued by the city or government agency having jurisdiction over a parcel of land. Building permits provide applicants with the legal authority to complete construction work. They are in place to help the government ensure that a structure is legal, safe, and meets code. Building permits help certify that fire hazards, structural failures, and harmful errors are avoided. A building permit generally pertains to work that is not covered by sub-trade permits. For example, a building permit would pertain to alterations on the interior of an office building such as creating a new doorway.
