To control the elevation of a building, contractors must use or establish one or more benchmarks near the building site.

Question
To control the elevation of a building, contractors must use or establish one or more benchmarks near the building site.
In this example, benchmark A (BMA) is located some distance away from the site and the contractor wants to establish
benchmark B (BMB) near the site.
Therefore the contractor must:
(a) Transfer the elevation form BMA to establish BMB using a technique known as differential levelling (see sketch
below)
(b) Confirm the accuracy of the work by 'looping' back to BMA or by completing a 'circuit' to another known benchmark
- in this case BMC
(c) Check the mathematical correctness of the work as well as determine if the work falls within acceptable limits of
