What do I do when layout marks hidden by other trades or ceiling work?

Measuring, Field Verification & Layout MarksFoundation layout starter — field verify before cutting/loading

If layout marks get hidden, re-establish them from control points instead of guessing where they were.

Open in Field Rescue Open category

Field checklist

Find original control line/grid.
Check photos or layout notes if available.
Re-mark clearly.
Protect marks if work continues.
Tell the foreman if other trades keep covering them.

Ask foreman

The layout marks are covered. Can we re-shoot/re-mark from control?

Do not

Do not drill or hang from a half-erased mark.

Why it matters

Hidden marks are one of the easiest ways to shift a whole run.
