No, just measure twice so you only need to cut once. Be sure to use a sharp saw blade. Leave about a 1/4” around the walls for expansion and contraction. When you are finished you can add quarter round attatched to the walls not the floor to cover the gap.

The hard part is transitioning from one orientation to another if there are multiple rooms and doorways. https://m.wikihow.com/Lay-Laminate-Flooring https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-lay-laminate-flooring-1822250
