My partner followed the roller girl gang video. They did all the measuring/marking up. Checked with/without wheels. Worth checking that the marks match the holes on the boot if it kicks up. Think about where the toe stop will sit if you don't have an offset one (bit of a trade off between lining that up and lining the trucks up equally on each side). Make sure the front bolts, particular the outer ones aren't too close to the outside of the boot as it's a pain to get them in.
I was left to the drilling. Getting it straight is hard, but not the end of the world of you do it a little off as the sole usually has a bit of flex/wiggle room. Check you have all metric or imperial fixings, be prepared to Dremel end of bolts down a bit. It'll be impossible to get them perfect, but I bet even pro skate builds have a little variation in them.

For those that have built own skates anything to watch out for versus watch youtube guides and drill the holes straight?
