Construction Layout Software
Taking construction layout to the next level.
precision, visibility and optimized control
Projects these days leave little room for error to stay profitable. With tight budgets on nearly every project, contractors know that a lack of efficiency can affect the ability to bid better and build better. Success relies on the coordination of key variables to make sure costly rework is avoided – even as timelines shrink.
To stay ahead in these competitive times, you need a partner with deep industry knowledge rooted in how people work. And, with increased reliance on 3D models and model coordination, having a technology portfolio that delivers precision, visibility and optimized control is necessary for success.
Trimble’s innovation and leading reputation in the construction industry comes from understanding the contractor experience. It’s a thoughtful process of listening first, then optimizing the right solutions for our customers.
Trimble Field Link
Trimble Field Link is the one field software for all your construction site needs
Make short work of layout projects for fast results with your Robotic Total Station, Rapid Positioning System or GNSS solution with Trimble Field Link
Whether you need to create points and a plan on the job or work directly from a 3D model or 2D drawing, Trimble Field Link fits your business and layout style. The software was designed specifically to reduce complexity, so you can feel confident entrusting crews with varying skills to perform automated layout successfully. With proven performance gains of 200% over traditional workflows, Trimble Field Link is transforming the work of construction layout.
Quality assurance routines and as-built data collection is as fast as it is precise. With Trimble Field Link you can produce Layout Deviations, Daily Layout Summaries, and Field Reports. Document daily production as well as existing conditions for RFIs and job reporting. With Trimble VISION available in the Trimble RTS Series total stations, you can control the instrument from the tablet and provide photos directly from the tripod.
Once the points are laid out or collected on the job site, you and your teams can round trip the as-built point data back to the office to compare completed work with the intended design when adjustments are needed.
Trimble Field Link brings design to reality providing users with access to the latest tools for increasing productivity and accuracy during the construction layout process; it is the ideal solution for enhancing field operations for BIM workflow and traditional 2D information.

Key Benefits
View field point attributes created in the office that define various data points such as: manufacturer, component type and size, etc.
Collect field point deviations within the stakeout routines and export for use in BIM detailing solutions back in the office.
Create design locations from CAD such as endpoint, midpoint, arc/circle, node, insertion, and intersection.
Simplify your data prep and the analysis of field data
Trimble Field Link Office is a simple and easy-to-use tool for preparing and checking layout data for the field. With the common interface between the office and field versions of Trimble Field Link, contractors experience increased productivity and more accurate data on their projects. Trimble Field Link Office allows contractors to:
- Prepare layout points for the field.
- Double check the files sent to field crew.
- Perform QA/QC on the already laid out field points.
Simplify your field data preparation and review of results
Trimble Field Link Office provides you with a simple tool to create data from a plan – or import 2D and 3D models to then prepare data for field layout. An easy layer management tool helps you manage and visualize the information that is important to you.
Once you’ve prepared data for field crews, you can easily share the common Field Link file either by direct transfer or upload to Trimble Connect for easy access from the job site. After the field crew has laid out or captured data on the jobsite, they can easily share this information with you to the review against the original information.
The simplified, common interface between the office and field versions of Trimble Field Link will help improve productivity and accuracy of information prepared and captured on your projects.

Key Benefits
Easily Translate
Trimble Field Points is the concept-to-construction solution that ensures points in the model are accurately located in the field.
Build Intuitively
Working as a plugin within SketchUp, Revit, or AutoCAD, Field Points delivers a direct integration with the Trimble’s robotic total stations.
Bring to the Field
Points can be easily exported to Trimble layout solutions for easy stake-out in the field and brought back to the model for true round-trip capabilities.
Trimble Field Link is the definitive construction layout software solution designed specifically for contractors – not surveyors.
Featuring the right combination of tools for each layout job, an ideal solution includes Trimble Field Link software powering a rugged Trimble Tablet and delivering a reliable connection to a variety of layout tools.
This unified combination of hardware and software increases productivity and accuracy in the field, reduces rework, provides easy-to-use, task-based workflows and delivers a greater return on investment.
