Once the setting out is completed the end points will be marked with permanent markers. The type of partition as per wall key will be marked alongside the marking, for easy reference. The level and line for setting out would be taken from the authenticated bench mark and grid lines given by the Main Contractor at site. The layout will be cross-checked by Site Supervisor before proceeding with installation. Frame work for partitions and lining Top tracks will be fixed onto the soffit as per the particular wall type.
