Build Smarter
with LightYX

Reality capture and 3D scanning have become essential components of modern construction workflows. As projects grow in complexity and coordination requirements increase, teams can no longer rely solely on drawings, assumptions, or periodic site visits to understand what is truly happening in the field. Reality capture provides a measurable, digital representation of physical conditions , allowing construction teams to compare what was designed with what was actually built — c

Title:Trimble QML800 Layout Tool: What Replaced It and the Best Modern Alternatives Meta description:Learn why the Trimble QML800 interior layout tool was successful, why it’s obsolete, and how robotic total stations and LightYX replace it today.

Robotics in construction has moved from experimental pilots to real jobsite deployment. Today, robots are laying out buildings, drilling overhead anchors, placing bricks, finishing interiors, moving earth, and verifying work against digital models. This shift is not about replacing skilled labor. It is about addressing real challenges: labor shortages, rework, coordination errors, safety concerns, and increasing reliance on BIM and digital design. This pillar guide explains w

In this guide to laser levels, we'll break down the key features you should consider — from laser color to build quality — so you can find the perfect laser level for your needs.

Construction layout is the process of translating design plans into physical markers on a construction site, guiding the accurate placement of structural elements and systems. This process is crucial for ensuring that the construction aligns with the intended design, minimizing errors, and preventing costly rework.
