I think that you will find that once building begins and you have a few strips in place, any obvious mis-alignments will become blatantly obvious and you can adjust then. I know that One Ocean plans call for internal beams. I find these to be less forgiving when adjustments are needed after building commences and certainly eliminates removing a form after all the others are in place should you need to adjust the shape of the form (minor sanding).
