Field check

Standard work. Do it right, keep moving.

Use the Correct Architect or Engineer Scale

This view is marked [scale], but the print may have been resized. Can we verify one known dimension before I lay out from scale?

Print Reading, Tags & Layout 1st Year GREEN

Watch out

Do not scale a “not to scale” detail or trust a reduced/fit-to-page print without verification.

Check

room/grid/area
photo of the condition
current drawing/detail/submittal
measurements or test information
what has already been checked
