Topcon Building Construction Solution Center in Tokyo
BuildTech Topcon Building Construction Solution Center

Promoting DX in construction industry to be the first case in the country* 

To experience our digital measurement solution is our concept. 

"BuildTech" was established on the premises of Topcon Corporation's headquarters to provide visitors with hands-on experience of construction DX(Digital Transformation) solution by creating a demo space as it is on an actual construction site. 

The indoor space as a whole reproduces a wide range of construction site conditions, including interior and exterior, and allows visitors to experience 3D digital measurement at each basic step of the construction process of marking (positioning), installation, and inspection.

Visitors can systematically learn and understand Topcon's building construction solutions, including the linkage of measured data with BIM data and how it can be used at construction site. In addition, this whole space can be used as an innovation lab for building construction.

* Based on our own research as of August, 2021
