Laser project digital drawings with1/16” tolerance for precise placement
Reduce conflicts and rework by up to 80%
Lower required skill level for construction
Identify conflicts before installation
Provide Comprehensive installation details
Implement layout changes/fixes and document as-built conditions
MEP LAYOUT MADE EASY
Utilizing the LightYX laser projection layout tool enhances your workflow by building upon detailed shop drawings. Unlike traditional methods, this innovative tool streamlines mechanical layout processes, offering unparalleled precision and efficiency. By leveraging a coordinated digital model, the LightYX system guarantees accuracy in the layout and alignment of installation instructions across all trades. MEP contractors can significantly reduce time and physical strain compared to traditional total station methods, completing layouts in a fraction of the time. With clear projection points and precise linework, confusion is minimized, ensuring error-free installations from the outset.
How It Works
Import coordinated CAD or BIM concrete drawings
Align LightYX to jobsite control
Project column grids, walls, embeds, and penetrations on slabs and decks
Verify layout before forming and pouring
Reduce layout time, coordination errors, and downstream fixes
Simple, visual, and built for real concrete workflows.
MAXIMIZE LAYOUT TEAM PRODUCTIVITY
Manual layout can consume about 10-20% of the MEP schedule and approximately 5-10% of the total cost. Errors and rework in manual layout can account for 5-10% of overall project costs (according to HP research).
With LightYX, you can
Boost layout team productivity to over 2000 points per day.
Start installation sooner and eliminate the need for rework.

FAQ
What is laser layout and how do general contractors use it?
General contractors use laser layout to coordinate multiple trades by projecting shared design information directly onto the jobsite.
How does digital layout technology improve accuracy for general contractors?
Digital layout ensures all trades work from the same coordinated design, reducing interpretation errors.
How does laser layout help manage multiple trades on site?
Laser layout aligns trades to the same reference, improving coordination and reducing conflicts.
Can laser layout reduce coordination issues and RFIs?
Yes. Visualizing design intent on site can help identify issues earlier and reduce RFIs.
Is laser layout difficult to implement on active jobsites?
Laser layout systems are designed for field use and can be integrated into existing workflows.
