Lasers in the field• Easy to use• Quick• Better in wet or muddy conditions• Easier to carry than a wheel or tape• More accurate • Transmits data direct to sketching software

(reduces errors)• Easier to measure distances where access

is restricted

Suitable for all properties• Residential - generally external measurements

• Industrial - mixture of internal and external

• Commercial – internal and external measurements

Time saving are great

• High volume residential, can save 5-10 minutes a job, more when combined with sketching software

• Industrial saves a lot of walking and more accurate

External Corners - Simple
