Leica iCON build: Facade and Exterior Installation

Digital construction tools for installing exterior cladding and facades

As architectural designs become more complex and construction timelines trend ever tighter, it can be a difficult to balance high-accuracy exterior and façade installation with resource management for on-time, on-budget results. Whether you are installing glazing systems, rainscreens, curtain walling, wood elements, or other exterior cladding, Leica iCON build will help you meet these challenges with digital construction tools tailored to improving your existing workflows. Benefit from streamlined checks and adjustments, all the information you need for precise scheduling, and fast and accurate layout for high quality façade and exterior installation.

 

 

Understanding Construction: Leading innovations with Leica iCON

The Leica iCON portfolio has been providing simplicity, durability, efficiency and construction-focused solutions for more than 10 years. We have been evolving our building and heavy construction offering to meet your changing needs on site. And we achieved this by understanding construction; understanding what it means to be in the field with you, day in, day out. The world may know us for our innovative solutions, but the thing we're most proud of building is trust.

Get the points you need from IFC data

While using IFC data for your facade and exterior installation work brings many benefits, object data is often not optimized for your point layout needs. With Leica iCON build, create points on an IFC object and choose to automatically apply the same point selection to all similar style of objects. Select, view, and layout only the points you need from the original IFC data, making the installation of channel anchors and other elements easier and faster.

Check, adjust, and schedule before you install

Before layout can begin, checking that concrete slab work matches the design provides the data you need to determine your own offsets and placements, make needed corrections, and coordinating site deliveries of prefabricated elements. With the Leica iCON build Checks app, you can easily assess the positioning and alignment of the work that has come before, ensuring everything is ready or enabling necessary adjustments for accurate fittings.

Faster, high-accuracy layout

Move away from imprecise and time-consuming tape measure layout methods with ICON build’s Layout Points app, which empowers a faster, high-accuracy workflow. Establish control lines, apply offsets, and layout channel anchors or support brackets with features like digital point navigation and colour coded point quality visualisations. Find points faster with the automated turn-to feature that helps orient your total station. Together, these digital tools save significant time and reduce the risk of errors, so you can deliver complete and quality installations on time and budget.
