Deutsch term

Baugespann

Deutsch > Englisch Sonstige Architektur
In Switzerland we have a so-called 'Baugespann' before building can start. These are simple posts that actually show the size and layout of the future building - is this normally done in other countries too and how would you call it in English?
So far I heard the expression 'pegging batter boards'

thanks for any inputs,
Karin

Correct construction staking is one of the most essential parts of the construction of a new structure. Olsson Associates offers complete construction staking services to proper horizontal and vertical placement of design components. Our teams have years of experience in construction staking and survey and are adept at working in a variety of environments ranging from roadways and airports to housing developments and shopping centers.

Plans and construction activities come together through construction staking. Staking provides horizontal and vertical definition of buildings, roads, utility lines, plantings, and site grading. The stakes are often offset, out of the way of construction itself.

Field survey crews coordinate closely with construction superintendents to provide timely staking in increments defined by the pace of actual construction. Landplan surveyors combine topographic and engineering design base files to provide cost effective, accurate staking for construction, be it ordered by the developer or construction subcontractors.
