Jobsite Planning Made Simple

Jobsite Planning Made Simple

In today’s competitive construction environment, schedules matter. And planning matters even more. Ensuring that your entire project team is effectively communicating and staying on the same page requires constant vigilence and management. With compressed schedules, and full flexibility, project planning is effectively the one element in the construction process where the rubber meets the road.

Based on the concept of simplicity and usability, Trimble Leansight prioritized ease-of-use and an intuitive experience that is easily familiar to both office and field users, reducing the learning curve and allowing users to get up and running in minutes, rather than days. And because LeanSight is multi-platform, you can leverage any device that suits your workflow, either in a traditional browser environment, tablet, or mobile phone.

With Trimble Leansight, the power to plan is in your hands.

Foundations Episode #25 – Is Construction Changing Modeling, Or Vice Versa?

Foundations Episode #25 – Is Construction Changing Modeling, Or Vice Versa?

The BIM and modeling process has been slowing changing the construction process over the past two decades, and many contractors are realizing that there’s a benefit to visualization and modeling, that you don’t get from traditional drawing sets. In this episode of Foundations, we’re joined by Chris Keating, General Manager for Trimble SketchUp to answer a huge question… Is construction changing modeling? Are we adapting and changing 3D design so that it works in construction, or is modeling changing the construction process?
