LightYX raises $11 million Series A to redraw construction layouts with lasers
The startup’s patented technology projects building plans in real time, reducing errors and boosting productivity.
Israeli construction technology company, LightYX, has raised $11 million in Series A funding to advance its laser-based layout projection system, a tool designed to eliminate one of the industry’s most persistent inefficiencies: human error during on-site layout work.

The funding round was led by NOVA by Saint-Gobain, the venture arm of the French multinational building materials giant, with participation from U.S. and international investors including Yachad Capital Partners, Shibumi International, and Somersault Ventures. Since its founding, LightYX has also received six grants from the Israel Innovation Authority, totaling $3.3 million.
Construction sites around the world still rely heavily on tape measures, chalk lines, and paper drawings to translate architectural blueprints into physical layouts. LightYX aims to replace these manual methods with an electro-optical system that projects plans directly onto walls, floors, and ceilings with an accuracy of under two millimeters.
The system allows workers to follow instructions for drywall, plumbing, HVAC, or electrical installations with far greater precision, while its built-in scanners adapt projections to reflect real-world conditions in real time.

“Construction layout is still often done with chalk lines, tape measures, and paper drawings. We're replacing that with live, intelligent laser projection,” said Guy Ben-Romano, CEO and co-founder of LightYX.
LightYX already works with dozens of contractors and subcontractors in the U.S., particularly in drywall and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations. Its system has been deployed in several hundred projects, covering more than 25 million square feet of construction layouts.
