I'm building a shop at my new small-town home, and my question relates to wall-raising.

I built a 20' x 20' garage at my old home. We laid the 20' x 8' walls out on the asphalt driveway, then nailed the studs to the top and bottom plates and raised them up into place.

QUESTION: What is the best way to build a 36' x 10' wall (overall building is 36' x 36') when there isn't a large enough flat area to lay it out on? I'm worried about not getting the wall square when I build it on unleveled ground?

What am I missing?
