The startup develops an adaptive projected reality device that utilizes laser technology to project two-dimensional and three-dimensional blueprints directly onto construction surfaces. This enables construction engineers to visualize and execute tasks with precision, reducing errors and improving workflow efficiency on job sites.

Problem
Traditional construction layout methods are prone to human error, time-consuming, and can lead to costly rework due to inaccurate measurements and misinterpretations of building plans. Coordinating layouts across multiple trades is challenging, often resulting in conflicts during installation and project delays.
Solution
LightYX offers BeamerOne, a laser-guided construction layout tool that projects digital designs directly onto construction surfaces, including floors, ceilings, and walls. This Building Information Modeling (BIM)-to-field technology automates the layout process, eliminating the need for manual measurements and significantly reducing errors. By projecting accurate, to-scale layouts, BeamerOne enables construction teams to visualize and execute tasks with precision, improving on-site communication and collaboration across trades. The system facilitates easy adjustments via a mobile app, ensuring rapid and precise implementation of designs and continuous monitoring for project managers.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes general contractors, drywall contractors, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) contractors, and construction engineers seeking to improve layout accuracy, reduce rework, and accelerate project timelines.
