The present invention is directed to a building profile including a pair of support legs, a cross member for removably fastening to the pair of support legs and from which a line can extend; a marker stand for engaging with the line, wherein the marker stand includes a point position marker for marking a position on the ground, a support for supporting the point position marker and an upright indicator for indicating whether the point position marker is in an upright position.

This invention is specifically designed to aid in installation of hardscape products using multiple levels of base materials, including, but not limited to flatwork, asphalt, foundation work, stairs, and concrete pavers or wallstone. The interlocking pavement institute has set specific guidelines for installation of said pavers and NCMA has guidelines for wallstone installation, both which include multiple base materials. Although other tools have been designed for stringline applications, none of them work properly in multiple level applications or have the advantages of saving substantial amounts of time on the jobsite. Previous versions need to be reset for each level of material being added or require multiples of the apparatus. This invention avoids the need to reset collar heights several times throughout the project and increases accuracy for each elevation needed. For this version string lines are held in grooves precut into the sleeve at each different elevation specific to the product thickness and installation requirements specified by the manufacturer of the product, or general normal installation methods. The most important aspect of our version is that only the stringline is moved, and not the holder. The holder stays in a fixed position and the line is moved to each corresponding level needed. The sleeves are used with holding bolts to secure the stringline onto grade stakes. For example: Our system uses a minimum of a three groove sleeve matching specific elevations such as required by the ICPI and NCMA which eliminates the need to reset the collars over and over again to obtain the proper elevation for each level of materials to be installed. An infinite number of grooves can be placed into the sleeves to accommodate any project. Some version may even have fully adjustable grooves on the sleeves to accommodate any custom multi-level project.

The present application relates to an adjusting device (1) for adjusting a masonry guide (20) relative to a brick wall to be laid (11), comprising an elongate adjusting body (2), wherein the adjusting device is releasably attachable to both the wall and the masonry guide, and the adjusting device comprises a hinge (3) for rotating at least a part of the adjusting body out of the plane running parallel to the wall when the adjusting device is connected only to the wall.

The present disclosure relates to a system and method useful for construction layouts requiring ninety-degree angles such as in a corner of a construction footprint.
