A means of gridded measurement for the cuing of construction materials which comprises the imprinting of commonly used measurement markings upon the surfaces of construction materials during the manufacturing process to save time and improve the accuracy of cutting the construction materials on a job site. Unit markings may be numbered for quick dimensional reference and fractional markings may also be used. The lines for commonly used markings may also be highlighted, darkened, doubled, tripled, dashed or dotted, and color enhanced for easy recognition. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use on wallboard, shower board, insulation, gypsum board, plywood, and any other material which must be cut to exact measurements on a construction job site. Angled cuts may be easily made by cutting along the opposite corners of a predetermined number of grids counted in both horizontal and vertical directions.

A gridded measurement system for use on at least one surface of a rectangular piece of construction material so as to provide a visually precise means for fast and accurate cutting of construction materials whereby use thereof will reduce construction costs by minimizing the amount of labor required to measure construction materials as well as minimizing material waste due to inaccurate cutting of construction materials, said gridded measurement system comprising a plurality of precise horizontal unit measurement markings and a plurality of precise vertical unit measurement markings positioned around the perimeter of the construction material surface, a plurality of successively higher numbers associated with said unit measurements markings a plurality of grid markings positioned between said horizontal unit measurement markings, and said vertical unit measurement markings said grid markings substantially filling the construction material surface between said horizontal unit measurement markings and said vertical unit measurement markings, each of said grid markings also having a spaced arm horizontal distance from the next adjacent one of said grid markings which is identical to the dimension of said horizontal unit measurement markings and a spaced apart vertical distance from the next adjacent one of said grid markings which is identical to the dimension of said vertical unit measurement markings, said system also comprising marking means for visually precise marking of said unit measurement markings, said grid markings, and said successively higher numbers onto the piece of construction material.
