Art/Literary - Architecture / Architecture/archaeology | | Italian term or phrase: l’accuratezza planimetrica | Describing an excavation of an amphitheatre and its findings, particularly regarding the overall size and use of the amphitheatre as a whole and its various parts:
"A confermare *l’accuratezza planimetrica* del monumento concorre la presenza di un articolato sistema di ambienti di servizio sotterranei. Una prima galleria corre lungo l’asse minore del complesso con sbocco all’esterno sul fianco sud-orientale delle costruzioni e permette l’accesso ad un vano ipogeo di forma quadrangolare."
Can I simply say "the planimetric accuracy"? It sounds stilted to me, but I'm no architecture expert, so I'd appreciate your opinions.

| | the care taken in the planning | Explanation:
"L'accuratezza" has nothing to do with accuracy but is about care. Accuracy would be "precisione".
