How to Align Columns with the Edge of the Slab Without Affecting the Facade Line?

Hello, I have a question. In my project, I need to align the columns with the edge of the slab (i.e., align the columns with the beams), and to do so, I must choose one of these two options:

  • Slightly move the columns until they align with the beams.
  • Move the beams, which would imply changing the exterior facade line.

I’m not sure if I’m correct, but if that’s the case, which option should I choose?

Since the columns are most likely going to be placed first, and 'in the proper place'. Can you locate the concrete edge relative to the column locations first?
