Basically I'm putting wet wall panels up in the bathroom and was wondering if there is a nifty trick to accurately measure and locate plug holes and switches etc
 
Offer up panel to wall and level a line across to top and bottom of your socket, reduce measurement 5mm top and bottom to allow overlap of socket edge .
Measure across to socket from previous panel or corner of room to either side of socket ( reducing again by 5mm for overlap).
If your measuring skills are poor increase overlap to 10mm and adjust after testing fit .
(You can always make aperture larger to fit).
Pencil marks are easily wiped off.
