When are survey notes recorded?

Survey notes are recorded at the time of the field work to ensure accuracy and reliability of the information gathered. This practice allows surveyors to document measurements, observations, and any relevant conditions immediately as they occur, reducing the chances of error or omission. Capturing data in real-time helps to maintain the integrity of the information, as it reflects the specific circumstances during the survey and allows for better and clearer recall when performing data analysis later.

Recording notes during the fieldwork helps to track the progress of the survey, confirm details of the work being done, and provide context that might be lost if notes were taken later. Having a comprehensive set of field notes is essential for creating precise boundary lines, understanding site conditions, and ensuring that all relevant data is accurately reflected in the final survey report.
