What happens if a cornerstone is placed incorrectly?

If a cornerstone is placed incorrectly, it can lead to structural imbalances and issues within the building's foundation. This misalignment may cause uneven settling, resulting in cracks, shifting walls, or even structural failure over time. Additionally, the aesthetic and functional aspects of the building can be compromised, affecting its overall integrity and safety. Correcting an improperly placed cornerstone can be costly and time-consuming.
