Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
installing a plurality of structural supports at a build site;
for each structural support from the plurality of structural supports:
providing an interface atop each structural support of the plurality of structural supports, the interface defining an internal space,
positioning a column, from a plurality of columns, within the internal space of each interface such that a first end of the column is within the internal space and a second end of the column is external to the internal space,
connecting to each column an actuator assembly configured to move the column with respect to the structural support, and
using a data acquisition system, determining an actual location of the second end of the column;

determining, by a computer system using the determined actual locations of the second ends of the columns of the plurality of columns, for each second end of each column from the plurality of columns:
a target location for the second end of the column, and
an offset between the actual location of the second end of the column and the target location for the second end of the column;

determining by the computer system, for a subset of the second ends of the columns of the plurality of columns, that the offset for each second end of each column in the subset is greater than a first predetermined tolerance front the target location;
causing by the computer system, for each second end of each column in the subset, the attached actuator assembly to move the second end of the column toward the target location for that second end of the column;
determining by the computer system, for each second end of each column in the subset and using data supplied by the data acquisition system, that the offset has changed to be within the first predetermined tolerance; and
fixing each column in place within the internal space of its associated interface.
