Marx|Okubo Uses "PowerCAD SiteMaster Building" to Measure and Create AutoCAD-Compatible Drawings in the Field

Sep 30, 2013

PowerCAD SiteMaster Building is an architectural surveying application that accepts distance measurements directly on a tablet from a laser measuring device, and creates AutoCAD-compatible drawings in the field. Marx|Okubo has used SiteMaster Building as an efficient and accurate way to provide quality building measurements, quantity take-offs, dimensions for as-built drawings, and BOMA calculations on hundreds of multi-family residential, educational, warehouse, and commercial office buildings. Using SiteMaster Building on Fujitsu tablets with Leica Disto laser measuring devices gives Marx|Okubo a proven system with the ability to immediately:

  • Verify the accuracy of the measurements in the field
  • Calculate the area of a building or space in the field
  • Create a drawing of the building or space in the field

These benefits, including the ease of transferring the field drawings into AutoCAD, give Marx |Okubo the ability to save our clients time and money while providing reliable and accurate results.
