Construct & Build Buildings

Data preparation

Using Leica Infinity, the office-to-field data preparation is easy to use and allows seamless data transfer via GeoCloud Drive, powered by HxDR or Leica ConX to different stakeholders on the field. In-field data preparation can be done with Leica Captivate to smoothly manage IFC files or easily create points, lines, or arcs within seconds. Create new or add missing elements from design data quickly and easily to update plans, allowing immediate response to site changes when they happen.

Empowering partner workflows

Leica Geosystems collaborates with Autodesk, Bentley and other partners to optimise efficiency and increase transparency both on the jobsite and in the office, integrating technologies that enable building construction professionals to implement streamlined workflows. With Leica CloudWorx you can work efficiently with large point clouds directly with different CAD platforms, including AutoCAD, Bentley, Revit, Navisworks, BricsCAD, and more. The workflow with Autodesk supports Leica BLK2GO and Leica Geosystems 3D laser scanners. Improve efficiency during the layout and verification process by connecting Leica total stations to Autodesk BIM 360 Layout app. For documentation, Autodesk BIM 360 Docs help customers to streamline construction workflows via Leica Infinity, Leica Captivate, or iCON build software.

Handle earthmoving tasks with advanced machine control solutions

Leica Geosystems machine control solutions introduce digital workflows for optimising the work of earthmoving and other heavy construction machinery. With a single control unit, the Leica MCP80, and a common software platform, Leica MC1, and Leica ConX, accuracy and speed is increased even for inexperienced machine operators. The single software and panel solution allows complete flexibility for deployment across a wide range of machine types and brands. Consistency in software design throughout all heavy machine control applications reduces training efforts and streamlines new employee onboarding.

Real-time safety awareness solutions for the entire site

Leica Geosystems offers Safety Awareness Solutions to increase worker safety awareness and visibility between workers and machine operators to prevent machine-to-people, machine-to-machine, and machine-to-objects collisions. Raise worker awareness and help prevent accidents onsite by integrating Leica Geosystems personal alert solutions and collision avoidance technology.

Complete layout tasks with fewer mistakes, minimising rework and delays

With Leica Captivate field software laying out points, lines, and arcs from 2D, 3D, and BIM formats is easy and accurate. Further increase the efficiency of layout by using onboard apps, like the Stakeout Auto Points or Structural Steel for stakeout bolts.

Industry-leading total stations, such as the Leica TS16, connected to the AP20 AutoPole enable precision, higher productivity, and more reliable layout tasks that are completed with fewer mistakes, minimising rework and delays.

Layout with iCON building construction solution for non-surveyors

Simply and accurately layout points, lines, and arcs from 2D, 3D, and BIM File formats with iCON total stations and iCON build construction software. Ensure a fast and accurate layout every time with optimised views and colour-coded quality indicators and tolerance checks. Enhance workflows further with inbuilt smart workflows to auto-stake layout positions.

As-built verification with CAD & BIM model

Deviations between design and as-built are often identified too late and lead to rework, waste, and costly delays. The Leica BLK360 and Leica RTC360 reality capture sensors, paired with the Leica Cyclone family of software solutions, enable fast and easy-to-use as-built verification. For positioning verification, Leica total stations and Leica Captivate field software allow surveyors to make informed decisions directly on-site. Creating a constant feedback loop between as-built and design helps to discover issues early and reduces the risk of delays. Our best-in-class sensor and software solutions are compatible with industry-leading CAD and BIM software.

As-built verification for flatness and verticality

Leica Nova MS60 MultiStation with Leica Captivate's Inspect Surfaces app allows measuring the surface flatness of floors as concrete is poured, as well as measuring wall verticality. Surveyors can identify and mark deviations between the design and the as-built directly onsite. Previously, such decisions would have only been made after returning the office and post-processing the measured data. Now immediate on-site interventions result in time, material, and corresponding cost savings.

Real-time onsite verification with iCON build for non-surveyors

Collect fast as-built data from iCON total station measurements and iCON build construction software or scan data from the Leica MS60 MultiStation exactly when you need it. Simple automated workflows enable data capture for all surface types, such as pre and post-pour of concrete slabs, structures, and MEP installations for immediate correction, or updating of design based on accurate field data. Quick real-time calculations highlight areas out of tolerance for immediate layout and correction onsite.

Reality capture analysis with Avvir Inspect

Avvir is a BIM-focused reality analysis platform that helps fix mistakes, reduce costly rework, prevent critical path delays, and gain accurate, transparent financial visibility into your project's progress. With Avvir Inspect tool, you can automatically identify discrepancies between design intent (BIM) and as-built reality (Point Cloud) so teams can take immediate action.

Digital twin for complete site condition documentation and progressive as-built checks

A wide range of Leica 3D laser scanners and autonomous reality capture solutions with Cyclone family software can capture, process, manage and analyse point cloud data, providing a field-to-finished workflow. 3D laser scanners empower users to efficiently and accurately document all stages of the construction progress and ensure the location of all hidden objects are known after construction is complete.

Document the construction progress with Multivista

Using the right documentation solutions during construction provides architects, engineers, constructors, and owners with accurate as-built documentation for verification. Multivista provides cloud-based visual construction progress documentation services. By capturing construction photos and videos as measurable 3D images using webcams, virtual walkthroughs, and UAV services, Multivista is the perfect as-built documentation for building contractors and owners..

Real-Time visual construction documentation

OxBlue’s high-definition time-lapse photography and live video streaming services deliver real-time visual documentation of everything that happens on a job site, both exterior and interior. You can provide the required insights by combining the latest camera technology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms. Keep everyone informed about project status, critical milestones, and other key information to ensure projects stay on schedule and under budget.

Increase safety onsite and keep investments low with manual monitoring

Construction can be dangerous, and keeping people and assets safe is critical. Through Leica Geosystems monitoring solutions, movements on surrounding buildings can be detected, and precautionary actions can be initiated. When risks are low, use your existing equipment to conduct campaign monitoring without requiring additional investments.

Improve efficiency and minimise errors with semi-automated monitoring

When a higher risk is expected in construction, people and assets can be kept safe while instrument and personnel are optimised with semi-automated monitoring. Measurements and analysis are conducted automatically using a total station, Leica Captivate's TPS Monitoring app, and Leica GeoMoS Now! monitoring service. Results can be visualised and reported online to speed up the process to ensure any movements are quickly identified and actions are taken.

Enhance safety with real-time monitoring

For complete peace of mind, deploy Leica Geosystems' real-time monitoring solutions. Real-time monitoring is the right choice for projects with high-risk activities that can cause structural movements or projects where it is impractical to manually monitor due to safety and access. Critical objects can be identified and automatically measured 24/7 and instantly verified if a movement has occurred. Real-time notifications are issued, and experts can immediately decide to take action to mitigate further danger or damage. Keep your buildings, construction site and surroundings safe with Leica Geosystems monitoring solutions.
