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

Confirm which side of the beam the hanger dimension comes from before marking.

Open in Field Rescue Open category

Field checklist

Find the control line/grid.
Check beam orientation.
Read dimension reference carefully.
Mark side/offset clearly.
Ask if the drawing does not state which face controls.

Ask foreman

Is this hanger dimension from the near face, far face, centerline, or grid?

Do not

Do not mark hangers from the wrong beam face because it looks close.

Why it matters

A beam has multiple reference faces; picking the wrong one shifts the run.
