Three steps for improved jobsite layout

1. Plan in the office or on the jobsite

Create lines and points in your digital plan with your CAD software, PROFIS Layout Office software from Hilti, or even on the jobsite with your total station tablet.

2. Set up your layout tool in the field

Use the automatic stationing feature of your Hilti total station and upload files from your 2D or 3D digital models, including CAD and BIM data, directly to your tablet.

3. Transform your layout data into reality

Begin guided layout of your 2D drawings or 3D models with our custom construction layout software.

No math. No tape. No paperwork

Swap error-prone traditional methods for guided layout of CAD drawings

Using traditional methods, two experienced operators can lay out around 150 points per day. But with our solution, just one operator can lay out up to 500 points a day.

Designed for easy use, even by less experienced operators, our system combines: 1) layout tools with self-levelling and auto stationing features; and 2) intuitive construction layout software for more accurate laying out of points and lines. The software is compatible with Revit, AutoCAD, and other professional layout platforms.
