How do you use a total station for construction setting out?

Setting out procedure: establish control points around site using GPS or traverse. Set up total station over control point, orient to another known point. Enter design coordinates for points to be set out. Instrument calculates bearing and distance to each point. Direct rodman using angle display (left/right) to correct bearing. Measure distance and guide rodman forward/back until at design distance. Mark point with stake. Verify by measuring to additional control point. For curves, calculate coordinates at regular chainages and set out similarly.
