      Abstract
          There is a new German Standard DIN 18710
          "Engineering Surveys" defining requirements to surveys at
          buildings and other constructions. It can be expected that this
          standard will develop to an important technical basis for letting,
          execution and evaluation of Engineering Surveys in Construction
          Engineering. A review on the contents and main topics of the new
          standard with a focus on desirable impacts on practical aspects in
          Engineering Surveys is given.
