Gridded measurement system for construction materials

A gridded measurement system for use on at least one surface of a piece of construction material having a rectangular perimeter so as to provide a visually precise means for fast and accurate cutting of construction materials whereby use thereof will reduce construction costs by minimizing the amount of labor required to measure construction materials as well as minimize material waste due to inaccurate cutting of construction materials, said gridded measurement system comprising a plurality of horizontal unit measurement markings positioned upon said piece of construction material, a plurality of precise vertical unit measurement markings positioned upon said piece of construction material, a plurality of successively higher numbers associated with said horizontal unit measurements markings and said vertical unit measurements markings, a plurality of grid markings positioned within the central portion of the construction material surface and extending at least part of the distance between adjacent ones of said horizontal unit measurement markings and adjacent ones of said vertical unit measurement markings, each of said grid markings also having a spaced apart horizontal distance from the next adjacent one of said grid markings which is identical to the dimension of said horizontal unit measurement markings and a spaced apart vertical distance from the next adjacent one of said grid markings which is identical to the dimension of said vertical unit measurement markings, said system also comprising marking means for visually precise marking of said unit measurement markings, said grid markings, and said successively higher numbers onto the construction material surface.
