Patent attributes
Construction templates, as well as methods of use that employ construction templates, are described. Embodiments of the present invention comprise construction specifications printed on substantially dimensionally stable material. Functions of the construction templates include, but are not limited to, (i) indicating the substantially exact locations for installing building components, (ii) protecting floors and other building components from water or weather damage during building construction, and, (iii) providing a barrier to, and containment for, construction debris that could otherwise contaminate or infiltrate a building under construction. Some embodiments comprise elongated construction templates that attach to wall plates to facilitate wall construction. Other embodiments comprise construction templates that attach to the floors of nascent buildings to display construction specifications that facilitate further building construction.
