Hi Davy
Before and during my course I must admit I was a 'why not use a laser man?' however listening to those much more skilled than I will ever be I could see the validity of their argument about accuracy of certain bits of kit - namely a spirit level and a laser.
I forget the figures of the laser, but apart from setting out and checking floor grout lines they were hugely discouraged ( PTS) and the spirit level, which I had always thought to be spot on - yes, but only if you turn it lengthways after every measurement/marking session. Seems that the accepted inaccuracies would leave you out by a big margin over even a small room.
Now the question - has anyone actually put these theories to the test? Compare the 'latest' laser kit to other forms of marking a datum line?
If the laser is as accurate as you say Davy, it could save folks a boat load of time.
Just a thought
