Real Reviews from Construction Pros

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Precision That Keeps Us on Schedule”
“We upgraded to the LN-160 from the LN-150 to get better tracking and accuracy on larger sites—and it was absolutely worth it. Layout is faster, and the crew can handle it solo with a tablet. It’s a must-have robotic tool for construction teams focused on precision and deadlines.”
— James T., Project Manager, Pittsburgh, PA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Built for Serious BIM Workflows”
“The LN-160 is a beast. We use it to layout from our BIM models directly on site, and it saves us hours every day. The tracking is solid even around steel, and the integration with MAGNET Layout is smooth. I’d recommend this layout navigator to any contractor working in commercial builds.”
— Lauren S., BIM Coordinator, Boston, MA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Effortless for Crews With No Surveying Background”
“None of our crew members are surveyors, and with the Topcon LN-160, they don’t need to be. Setup takes under five minutes, and once the job file is loaded, layout is fast and accurate. This tool adds serious value to our MEP installs.”
— Victor M., Foreman, Charlotte, NC
