How Much Do Construction Layout Errors Cost?
|
When it comes to construction layout, even a very small error can lead to potentially serious consequences. Just being a few degrees off on an angle can result in pre-fabricated systems not fitting correctly at install. Incorrect layout often results in clashes with other elements or services, disrupting the schedule, creating re-work, wasting materials, time, and money. These mistakes add up to significant losses over the span of a project:

What if there was a smarter way to work? A way to perform layout directly from the building model without manual measuring? What if there were tools created specifically with the layout contractor in mind, that were accurate down to the millimeter, and increased production by over 50%? What if those tools cost less than the average construction layout mistake?
The Trimble RPT600 Layout Station is the building construction professional’s newest essential tool to make short-work of common building layout and as-built measurement projects. The system measures distances and finds positions simply and easily, enabling your team to deliver accurate field work.
