Abstract: This study provides a comparative analysis of traditional and modern measured survey methods, focusing on their accuracy and precision, efficiency and time consumption, and cost implications. Traditional methods, including tape measures and theodolites, are contrasted with modern technologies such as laser scanning and photogrammetry. The findings reveal that modern methods significantly outperform traditional techniques in terms of accuracy, offering precision within ±2 mm over 100 meters. Additionally, modern methods are far more efficient, reducing survey times by up to 80% compared to traditional methods. Although modern survey technologies require a higher initial investment, they result in lower overall project costs due to reduced labor and faster completion times. This study underscores the necessity of adopting modern survey methods to meet the growing demands for precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in contemporary construction and architectural projects.
