The quality of products in the production process and the balance between resources and products is determined by, among others, the quality of management of the project. Project management aims at project implementation in accordance with the design, using prudently, the resources identified. Imaginative and flexible project management can correct even faults in the design and turn the project into a success. Land survey project is an investment scheme whose object is to acquire and present land data and information or is a scheme aimed at employing such data and information is another project, such as engineering or defence. The products of a survey project are therefore data and information about the landscape and its features such as: - Positions and position lines, Heights and height differences of points or between them, Scaled survey plans and bathymetric charts of the topography, Geo-referenced cadastral records, Thematic and topographic models, Profiles, cross-sections, earthwork quantities, lake capacity measurements, Information on structural stability, catchments, drainage, river flow, etc. A land survey project, like many other projects, can be broken down into smaller projects as stated earlier. The smaller ones are designed to work without each other but are small enough as to enhance workmanship and cost effectiveness in their management. Smaller projects are in many ways preferred to larger projects especially where it is not easy to find a variety of skills under one implementing agency of company. A contractor who does not have all the capabilities is normally allowed, under contract, to engage a subcontractor who would only be answerable to the contractor and not the client. This situation sometimes causes conflicts between contractor and employer/client or conflicts in project scheduling. Alternatively a project may be decomposed into smaller ones, that can be handled with a single contractor specialized in the smaller component.
