What do I do when measuring to face of wall instead of gridline/control line?

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

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

Ask foreman

What control line should this measurement come from?

Do not

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

Why it matters

Walls can move, fur out, or get finished after the layout dimension was created.
