Builder’s Laser Levels — Outdoor & in.
Two product groups for one trade. Rotating lasers for outdoor levels, slabs, decks and pads where you need range and a receiver. Multi-line lasers for indoor frame, wall and fit-out work where line-of-sight is the issue. Pick the one that matches the work in front of you.
Rotating laser or line laser?
Most builders end up with both. Pick by where you work most — outdoor levels and slabs need range, indoor frame and fit-out work needs visible lines.
Outdoor & long-range work
Sits on a tripod and projects a 360° rotating reference plane. Read with a millimetre receiver on a staff. Works in full sun where line-laser beams aren’t visible. Higher accuracy, longer range, tougher build than alternatives.
Best for:
- Slab and footing levels
- Decking and pergola heights
- Site set-out and datum
- Drainage falls with grade
- Anywhere outdoors over 30 m
Indoor frame & fit-out
Projects horizontal and vertical lines across walls and floors at close range. Visible to the eye, no receiver needed. The right tool for indoor work, fit-out and anywhere line-of-sight is the issue.
Best for:
- Wall frame plumb & layout
- Door and window opening checks
- Cabinetry and joinery set-out
- Skirting and architrave heights
- Indoor fit-out generally
Rotating lasers for builders
Six rotating laser levels for builders — entry-level horizontal-only through to flagship Digital Dial-a-Grade. All IP66 rated for outdoor work, every model pairs with a millimetre receiver on a staff for setting and checking levels at distance.
Line lasers for indoor work
Class 3R green-beam multi-line lasers for daily trade use — bright, sharp, calibratable. The XLG44 family is the flagship; CX610G and Green3DMAX cover the same job at different price points.
For occasional indoor work or DIY, see the budget line laser range — cost-effective cross-line and multi-line options.
Building jobs a laser pays for itself on
Where a laser earns its keep on a building site — most of these are jobs you’d otherwise do twice with a string line, a long spirit level, or a dumpy.
Slab & footing levels
Rotating laser on a tripod, mm receiver on a staff — set FFL across the slab, check footing depths, screed-level boxing. One person, every check off the same datum.
Wall frame layout & plumb
Vertical line down the stud line plumbs every frame before the sheets go on. Horizontal line at top plate height confirms square in the room. Solo, no calling out to a labourer.
Decking & pergola heights
Rotating laser sets joist heights consistently across a long deck. Tilt the laser for a 1-in-100 fall away from the house if you want it to shed water. Same set-up checks every post height across a pergola or carport.
Site set-out & datum
Run a benchmark off the survey peg, set instrument height, transfer the datum to wherever you need it on the site. One laser plane, all the heights come off it.
Internal fit-out & joinery
Cabinet rail line, splash-back top, overhead-cupboard datum — every height marked off the same laser line. Square laser sets the run for L-shaped or U-shaped runs.
Drainage falls & grade
Rotating laser with single or dual grade — set falls for paths, driveways, surface drainage. Receiver on the staff confirms the grade at every check-point in the fall.
The RedBack difference
Anyone can sell a laser. Few back it properly.
Specialist range, not filler
We sell laser levels and measurement tools — that’s it. Every laser on this page is one we’ve used and chosen because it works for builders, not because it fills a catalogue page.
Built to last, built to be repaired
Solid construction, built for the long term. RedBack provides in-house repair and calibration services for all RedBack lasers and most other laser brands.
Real support, real people
Call us and you’ll speak to someone who knows the products. No scripts, no call centre, no runaround — just straight answers from people who’ve worked with these tools for 25 years.
Accessories for builders
Tripod and 5 m staff for rotating-laser work, hand-held mm receivers for level checks at distance, plus indoor monopole and wall mount for the line lasers.
