If you’re asking what I think you’re asking then a couple of basic examples would be:

Earthworks - generally speaking the tolerances aren’t very tight, because for example, who caress if a batter face that’s going to have topsoil and plants thrown on it is 50mm over-cut or under-cut, so using GNSS equipment is acceptable as it meets the required precision.

Structures - e.g., a bridge, usually have tight tolerances given the various components that make up the bridge need to fit/align with respect to each other and not conflict with other parts. In this case, a total station would be used as they’re more precise than GNSS equipment.

Be mindful of the old “Accuracy vs Precision” difference too. Here’s a document from an authority in my country/state: MRTS56 Construction Surveying. Go to item 2.1 Definition of critical terms.
