Levels Made Easy

About Levels Made Easy Android App

Now completely FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Levels Made Easy is an app for Civil Engineers, Surveyors, Builders and anyone who works in the Construction Industry who may have the need to give or take levels using the traditional Dumpy Level (Site Level) and Staff.

It gets rid of the tedious task of 'reducing' the levels manually (or typing into excel) and as a result eliminates the risk of errors in the calculations.

It also stores Stations/Benchmarks as Known Levels so you will always have these values close at hand and will never need to search in a survey book for the Station values again.

Whether you are simply transferring a level from one point to another or setting a line of levels with 1000+ readings, Levels Made Easy will speed up the process so much that you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Once you have finished your survey you can export the data to an excel file and send to your desktop for either record purposes or to use the reduced levels for further calculations.

Levels Made Easy will save a site engineer an unprecedented amount of time and will undoubtedly reduce the common and costly leveling errors made on construction sites.
