Staking happens before construction to mark where to build, while a foundation spot survey happens after the pour to verify where the foundation was actually placed.
The surveyor typically sets stakes for the building corners and offset points that reference the corners, based on the approved site plan.
Corner stakes are often disturbed during excavation, so offset stakes set a measured distance away preserve the reference points crews need for forming.
