Here's a tip from @Aron_Jones_Carpenter that we featured in FHB issue 331 on how to avoid damaging the floor by cutting part of the rough opening before standing and securing the wall
#repost: There are multiple ways to do this. This method just works well for me in many situations. Kerfing the underside of the plate at the sides of the opening before standing the wall. Allows you to easily cut the plate out of the opening without marking the floor. In many framing situations, this is not an issue. In renovations, it can be, or if you just want a cleaner look of no saw cut on the floor. As well, it definitely saves on blades on concrete.
Hope this is useful.
