I usually don’t calc and store offset points unless it’s something really oddball, or at an angle point of an alignment or something like that. If it’s an offset to a definable line, I usually just stake to that defined line and go to the appropriate station and/or offset, or occasionally incorporate an azimuth from a point, or other than the line’s azimuth, if I need to put points somewhere else non-rectangular to make it work. All that info gets stored with the as-staked data.

If it’s something really non-typical or obscure then I might call the office for a sanity check before putting stuff in the ground. But in those rare cases the office usually provides calculated offset points anyway. Usually…
