Leica Builder - True Power on Construction Sites

Leica Geosystems have recently launched a new range of theodolites and total stations for construction sites. The Leica Builder range incorporates similar features of the larger more powerful surveying and engineering ranges but into a simpler less complicated package.

Starting with the Leica Builder 100 electronic theodolite all the way up to the Leica Builder 500, the range features the same chassis and software configurations. This allows operators to easily move to the higher specification models without retraining.

Don't be fooled into thinking the Builder range are low specification. Key options commonly featured in the Leica's TS09 range have been incoprated, like a USB memory stick which allows the operator to transfer measured data directly to a PC, or for real time data transfer use the Bluetooth wireless link. How about long range reflectorless measuring or improved onboard software.

Greater emphasis on intergration with third party surveying software. Vendors link Greabert have launched new programs directly for the Leica Builder range, allow both the total stations and hand-held laser measures to utilise the same package. A new rugged military specification field PDA – Leica DX10 allows the operator to run software, collect data and operate the instruments.

So Leica have everything in one package!

Leica Builder 100
With a laser plummet for simple and fast setup over control line, dual axis compensation for accurate plumbing, endless drives eliminating steps, audible notice for 90° turns, graphical leveling aid for fast and convenient setup and IP55 rating, the Leica Builder 100 is an outstanding theodolite.

Leica Builder 200
Traditional layouts require many steps and manipulations. The Leica Builder reduces these steps. As such the Leica Builder 200 adds benefit by reducing the number of set-ups and offers laser-aided layouts up to 80m/260ft. Its serial interface allows connection to any 3rd party device/program. 3 languages loadable.

Leica Builder 300
Call up plan data and record points eliminates read and write errors, data exchange via industrial grade USB stick simplifies data handling, a direct DXF download function, tracking mode, setup any-where function, optional volumes calculation and laser distance measurements up to 120m/400ft make the Leica Builder 300 a real workhorse.
