Improper Site Preparation and Building layout can cause<br />

unnecessary and costly mistakes.<br />

Contact a local contractor or your QuickStructures TM authorized dealer for assistance.<br />

Step 3<br />

SITE PREPARATION<br />

1. Start with a level site.<br />

2. Stake out the location of the<br />

corner posts A, B, C and D. Use<br />

an accepted method to make the<br />

layout straight and square.<br />

See Squaring A Building Layout<br />

on Page 29 for assistance.<br />

3. String a line from A to B and<br />

from C to D.<br />

4. With a measuring tape attached<br />

to stake A & C measure and<br />

stake the post intervals along the<br />

length of the building using a<br />

running measurement.<br />

Eg. 5' centers -5', 10', 15' etc.<br />

5. Check linear measurements by<br />

measuring the distance between<br />

each stake. Distance should be<br />

equal. Check the square of the<br />

foundation by measuring<br />

diagonally. Diagonal<br />

measurements should be equal.<br />

Continue to check the width and<br />

diagonal measurements the<br />

entire length of the building.<br />

NOTE: Buildings over 140' in length have more than one cover. Even with this feature,<br />

the building layout continues as a running measurement for the entire length of<br />

the building.<br />
