It emphasizes the importance of first checking primary building datums like bay spacing and roof pitch, as well as secondary datums, to avoid major mistakes. 3. The recommended checking approach involves the checker marking up drawings with comments and corrections, then discussing any disagreements with the detailer until resolved. This threefold process reduces individual errors.
