Trimble GNSS Applications for Building Construction

QA/QC + Spot Checks:

  • Get ahead of rework by verifying the position of layout points to ensure construction accuracy before installation begins
  • Confirm the position of your trade partner’s work and guarantee that your designs will fit with the conditions on site
  • Capture as-built locations to share the real status of construction back to your teams in the office

Top Deck Layout:

  • Efficiently layout hanger locations for mechanical ductwork
  • Layout plumbing hangers with ease and make sure your system is installed exactly to plan
  • Get the fire suppression laid out precisely where it’s supposed to be with easy GNSS workflows

Underground Utility & Services Layout:

  • Accurately layout underground ducts, banks, conduits and cable runs
  • Easily set out storm, sewer and other infrastructure
  • Quickly mark out utility stub-ups to make tie-ins easy as construction progresses

Site Logistics & Temporary Works:

  • Rapidly set out temporary pavement locations to help provide stable ground for construction
  • Layout silt fencing to keep things organized and safe onsite while minimizing wasted materials
  • Use GNSS for fast and easy curb staking throughout the job site

Rough-Ins, Trenches, & Footing Digs:

  • Accurately layout directly from your design data to clearly mark out locations for rough ins
  • Easily stake out footings and structural components
  • Safely set out long stretches of trench parameters for underground utility runs
