Abstract
A layout tool may have a length and several marking areas or sections by which the headers, footers, and studs of a wall can be marked and subsequently assembled. The layout tool has a bend at about a right angle along the length of the layout tool allowing it to lay over multiple pieces of building material at once. Once marked, the building materials can be assembled quickly and with limited or no human error.
