Builder RM

The digital construction plan

The era of purely mechanical or optical instruments is over. This is the digital era where digital instruments are needed to remain competitive. The digital Builder leads the way in this new era.

With the Leica Builder, Leica Geosystems is aiming experts in the building sector who have up to now shied away from using professional measuring instruments. In the design priority of making the theodolite as easy-to-use as possible, the advantages and the added value of the Leica Builder become evident: its uniquely easy-to-operate control concept and the outstanding product performance accelerates common construction site jobs, e.g. layout or plumbing.

Built for Builders
The rugged Builder stands up to the elements and takes all kinds of weather. And yet it's easily to transport in the carry case that holds most accessories in a single lightweight package.

Accelerates Building
Traditional layouts require many steps and manipulations. The Builder reduces these steps. The Builder R gives an added advantage with fewer set-ups and laser-aided layouts.

Multilingual function
Does your crew speak different languages? The Leica Builder is the only instrument of its class with multiple languages onboard. This allows the user to choose the preferred language - simply and with only one keystroke, for improved efficiency and convenience.

Direct.dxf
With "Direct.dxf" functionality, data can be read directly from the instrument in dxf-format and read into AutoCAD® on a PC without any intermediate steps. Coordinates and point numbers can be stored in different layers.
