Abstract: In the construction of a building at least part of the information about the fabrication of the building, including what construction elements are to be used in the building and their location for carrying out said construction, is input in a computer software program to generate a plurality of marking information; said marking information is printed on a tape or strap, e.g. using a CNC printing machinery and the printed tape or strap is affixed or connected to a corresponding construction component to be used in said building. The markings may include the position of at least one of: beginning and/or end of a construction element; a cutting location for the cutting of a construction element; an anchor holder; nails or bolts for positioning string lines; plumbing drains; pipes; window assemblies; door headers; studs, posts and cripple studs; joists or rafters; chalk lines; plywood sheating.
