How To Layout a Building: The Start of a Build Series

I'm not a builder nor am I in construction. I'm a fabricator by trade. I'm telling you that to tell you this. I watch your videos because I use the information you teach in my everyday life. You are an inspiration to everyone who strives for perfection. We can take this information and put it to work in so many different applications. Thank you Kyle and Greg. We really appreciate the work you put in because I know you are working two jobs to create this content and neither one is easy. Thank you again.

I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete youtube.com/post/UgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5… plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!

I owned a metal building business for over 20 yrs and you are spot on point and you explain very well . I am now retired due to cancer but I’m still here to enjoy your videos . Very good job friend

You rock... I appreciate you bringing it all down to a novice level. Helps us understand.

Surveyor here. As someone who sets points to within 1/16th of an inch all day, I approve this layout. Nice work. My advice to people watching, learn math and save money. Dont hire us, unless of course you dont trust your math skills or need to save time and have the money in the budget.

I'm an engineer and always learn alot from your builds. You guys are fun to watch too. Thanks for taking the time to record what you guys do and share your knowledge in such an enjoyable way.

Everytime I watch US building videos i am soooo glad about our metric system...

One of the best tutorials I've seen. All of the pertinent information, well articulated and laid out, not dry and "instructiony" like many others, and you even threw in a bit of comedy for good measure (pun). Very well done.

Honesty and pride in your work is something rare. Can’t find that around where I live. I really appreciate these videos. It makes me think maybe I could tackle something like this on my own. Never done anything like this though.

Even though I may never build a building, it's great to see exactly how this process works. I will likely use this technique on a deck project.

I’m thankful I came across this video. It’s people like you that really make the world go around.

Excellent video my friend. I had been in the trades for 30 years or so now and it is so nice to see a contractor taking a few extra minutes to make sure that the envelope of the structure to be built is perfectly square. What people do not realize is that, if you are just slightly off, every trade that comes in after you will have to fight it in order to make things work. The few extra minutes spent laying envelope out correctly now will save a lot of money in the end, as the contractors that come in after you will not have to wast all that time attempting to figure a way to make it work. The little details can make you or break you, and it is refreshing to see a guy that takes the time to do things the right way! Good job! I just started following you and am excited to see what else you have for us.

Pride in work is evident..... great instruction - I'm impressed.

I have never seen this type of work so obviously didn't understand much but I admire what you do and how you do it. Thank you for what you guys do.

I wish I’d seen your setup before I built my little well house! I think finishing the shed will end up a lot less fiddly for me. Thank you!

I'm a perfectionist and I like to make sure my measurements are as close to perfect as possible. I've never built a building like this but I did draw the boundaries for where my Tuff Sheds were built and I got pretty close using the Pythagorean Theorem. I've always wondered how the big boys do it and you've explained it perfectly. Thank you.

You're a great teacher Kyle, your videos have good close-ups too; the best explanation of layout I've seen. I don't have a laser, but I'll use your ideas with the help of a string level. Many thanks!

Thanks for your careful attention to details. You don't get what you "expect." You get what you "inspect." Great videography and audio.

The tedious side of building that no one likes to talk about. But. Having the satisfaction of knowing it’s done right from the very start? That’s gotta be a great feeling and an excellent stress reliever later on. Thanks for the insight!

It's like learning directly from a master builder! Great tips and invaluable knowledge. I'm in the beginning stages of preparing-to-get-ready-to-think-about-maybe-looking-at-some-property-to-buy-to-build-something phase right now, so I'm following you.
