The emergence of new and simplified technology ranging from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Remote sensing, laser scanning, etc. have revolutionised the surveying profession greatly in the last 30 years. This trend will continue in the future with the surveyor becoming more reliant on new and advanced technology. Although this new technology greatly reduces on projects completion times, it creates a number of challenges including the fact that the technology is changing at a rate faster than the surveyor is able to keep up with. This means that surveyors must develop new competencies so as to utilise the new technology to deliver a better service to their clients.
