Trusted by your industry peers
“Layer dramatically increased our efficiency by helping us capture existing conditions data and photos accurately in one app. With Layer, our teams build trust and transparency knowing that the data was collected in one consistent format that can also be easily accessed in Revit.”
- Jason Chen, AIA, BIM Manager
“With Layer, my work is MUCH easier. For example, on this project I have ±300 points that I transferred within 30 minutes. But it only needed to transfer one time. That’s it. Everything’s connected!”
- BIM Manager & Technologist Olga Kerkhanidi
“I am not a tech person at all, but I was able to easily set up forms in Layer. Normally, with any new tool, we think about the time it takes to train someone. With Layer, we didn’t have to train our team. It was very easy to start using.”
- Jamie Matthys, Principal, Director of Strategic Planning
“Layer saves us a ton of time for reporting. We weren’t writing up each individual deficiency in a separate document. This makes a huge difference when we have to document hundreds of items.”
- Daniel Meyer, Apex Engineers
“Layer made documenting this project so much more efficient. If we had any questions, we were able to search by barcode or component type and see exactly where each item was located within the building plan.”
- Sage Curtis, Project Coordinator
