Leica Builder Total Stations
Discover the Leica Builder for your task
The Leica Builder Total Station series are designed for operators working on a site with the need of intuitive, innovative and powerful whilst easy to use measuring tools which are tailored for every construction job. From the most basic of tasks to all-day use by a skilled user, the Builder Series offers will accelerate your work flow.
Designed to be simple to use, even for those with little experience, the Builder will prove effective in a range of applications from surveying and setting out to calculating areas and volumes. Data is read from the highly visible and easy to read digital display.
The Leica Builder has been upgraded to the Leica iCON range. Click here to view Leica iCON Total Stations and GNSS solutions.
Benefits and features of the Leica Builder Series
Profile Boards
The Builder total stations are able to set out, transfer alignments and collect all profile or batter board information easily. This allows for information to be transferred from plans to site, negates the need for strings, tapes and plumbing tools and also makes it easy to re-set damaged or missing boards.
Line Layout
Simply align structures such as fencing, formwork, anchor bolts and more. The Builder series are able to take reference lines, alignments and curves simply and easily. Create level layouts on inclined terrain.
Volume Information
Quickly and accurately identify volumes digitally such as extracted material, formation cutting and stockpile monitoring.
Area Data
Determine the amount of materials needed such as tiles for a roof, for a specific job by measuring areas accurately.
Precise Checking
Accurately identify distances between objects to give precise clearance, determine parallel walls and define the right grade for drainage. The Builder Total Station is able to immediately measure non-accessible points, which is difficult to do using traditional methods.
Finished Data
The Builder Total Station suits all types of user, including architects, utility organisations, builders, landscapers and carpenters alike. Users can store all the information required to show final measurements as built projects for client records such as future developments. This can even be used to integrate with CAD planning.
Height Transfer
Datum line determination, transferring of reference heights and checking remote heights is made easy with one step. This is all possible with only one operator using any of the power Leica Builder Total Stations.

Leica Builder 100 - if you need to trust angles and alignments
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 - when tapes are a thing of the past
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 - when a construction plan goes digital
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.
Leica Builder 400 - if performance makes the deal
With an extended working range to prisms of up to 500m/1600ft (optional 3500m/2.2mi), a full alpha-numeric keyboard for rapid entry/recall of point numbers (cell phone style use), short range laser distance measurements with 15m/50ft for quick as-builts of inaccessible points and a huge memory of 50’000 points, Leica Builder 400 is the high performer in its league.
Leica Builder 500 - when versatility meets efficiency
The “flagship” of the Leica Builder Series equipped with all of the above features plus wireless com-munication via Bluetooth, full laser distance measurements up to 250m/820ft and up to 1.5mm accuracy at 100m covers the full range of tasks to be performed on any construction site. An -30°C option is available additionally.
Leica iCON Construction Tools
The importance of digital measurement and layout techniques is growing due to increased project complexity, digitalization, and the industry's need for clear documentation. The Leica iCON iCS20 and iCS50 3D tools simplify tasks with visual measurement technology, automated workflows, and intuitive software, requiring minimal training for quick deployment.
Implementing Noise, Dust, and Vibration Monitoring for Civil Engineering Projects in UK Cities
As UK cities grow, urban construction projects face increasing scrutiny over environmental impacts like noise, dust, and vibration. These factors can affect public health, safety, and nearby structures, especially in densely populated areas or near schools, hospitals, and heritage sites. Poor management can lead to noise complaints, air quality violations, and even structural damage, resulting in delays, fines, or costly project setbacks. Monitoring helps ensure regulatory compliance, safeguard communities, and protect sensitive buildings.
