Measuring to face of wall instead of gridline/control line

Measure from a verified grid/control line, not a random wall face unless the drawing says that wall controls.

Stop if

• What control line should this measurement come from?

Watch out

• Do not trust a finished wall face as layout control unless it is verified.

Check

• Find grid/control line.
• Confirm wall finish/thickness if using a wall.
• Measure from two references when possible.
• Mark the control point.
• Ask if field wall and drawing control do not match.
