we do a lot of work for area architects and they require everything be snapped out on the floor and sprayed with clear in order to be verified before any framing is begun. The architect also sprays desk lay-outs, furniture, and even plants in the corners of the offices.
Just have to put an extra couple days in the job for lay- out.

I'm actually pretty useless now. The herniated disk has pretty much sidelined me from even the smallest effort out in the field. Besides, they wouldn't appreciate my style in Joisey land LOL!
We use blue painters tape on office renovations. Course we are working with modular system walls in already carpeted areas.
It is a whole lot easier to peel up tape after we convince our designer that her layout won't work, or some office manager suddenly realizes that the copy/print station is right outside his work station.
