Definition from own experience or research:
Talon perustukset
Linjapukit rakennetaan puutavarasta rakennuksen ulkopuolelle riittävän etäälle tulevasta kaivannosta. Niistä vedetään linjalangat (teräslankaa, narua) 2 metrin korkeuteen niin että rakennuksen seinälinjat muodostuvat niiden avulla.

Example sentence(s):
  • Perustus sisältää seuraavat työt materiaaleineen vakio perustussuunnitelman mukaan: •Linjapukkien teko ja nurkkalinjojen siirtäminen linjapukkeihin perustuksen teon yhteydessä. Ei sisällä mahdollisesti jo maankuorinnan tai paalutuksen yhteydessä tarvittavia linjapukkeja. - Avainkoti  
  • Tällöin rakennetaan tukevat ja siirtymättömät linjapukit ainakin kahdelle seinälinjalle ja pingotetaan niiden väliin linjalanka juuri mittapisteiden päälle tai jollekin määrätylle etäisyydelle siitä. - Rakennusalan perustutkinto
