German term or phrase: in das Grundstück

"Einmessen des Hauses in das Grundstück"

From a CV for a builder. It's in the middle of a paragraph that mentions 'drawing of plans' and other
normal building activity.

I take 'einmessen' to be surveying but I don't understand the 'in das Grundstück' part. The grammar doesn't make sense to me. Later in the text there is "Einmessen der Häuser auf den Grundstücken" which does make sense. Could the first instance be a typo?

Explanation:
“Bei der Einmessung* wird das Bauwerk im Bezug zur Grenze aufgemessen. Anschließend wird diese Messung durch die Messung des Umringes mit einem Messband kontrolliert.”

This is called a “house location survey”
House Locations
“A house location is a survey that shows where a home is located in relation to the property line. It is used mainly for the purpose of house settlement and can often be found in the settlement package given to you by your lending institution.”

placement of building on the property based on survey

Explanation:
This probably relates to the survey of the property and the subsequent placement of an architectural drawing on the site map in compliance with all official requirements, e.g. set-back etc.
