Abstract: A method of building construction layout utilizing full-scale plans or templates. Plans are printed full-scale on an appropriate media, and applied to the building sub-floor prior to the remainder of construction. Construction elements such as walls are placed directly on the media. Options range from reproducing plans as originally drawn to integrating multiple plans into a single file or image. The plans remain in place, effectively a full-size template, until all related work is complete. When no longer needed the media is removed. Full scale plans do not replace the Contract Construction Documents—but are a full-scale reproduction of selected portions of the Contract Documents.
