Measurements made on engineering works consisting of steel construction, such as industrial facilities and sports facilities, are classified as Steel Construction Measurements. Steel construction is preferred due to its durability, flexibility and modular structure. These structures are constructed by assembling steel elements together and have high strength and design flexibility. It is especially preferred in projects where large openings need to be crossed or where fast installation is important.

Bu ölçmeler, inşaat öncesinde projeye uygun olması, inşaat sırasında imalatın doğru yapılması veya kullanımı sırasında yapının deformasyonunu analiz etmek için yapılmaktadır. Highly sensitive geodetic devices are used during measurement.
