Building and Civil Construction and Operations

Trimble aims to connect construction projects - from design to build to operate, and across the many stakeholders that are involved. Areas of interest include project management, cost and progress estimation, BIM, site layout, architectural design, structural design, road and surface design, energy modeling, building performance analysis and facilities management. Trimble is focused on transforming the industry—increasing productivity, reducing waste and optimizing schedules, budgets and real estate portfolios—with powerful solutions that streamline communication and collaboration. These targeted solutions enable architects, engineers, contractors, owners, and occupiers to realize greater agility, efficiency and insight.  Some of the highlight centers for Europe include Espoo (near Helsinki) Finland where Tekla Structures is developed, Stuttgart Germany and Paris France for image analysis and photogrammetry, Oslo Norway for civil design, Leeds England for structural analysis and London, England for facilities management and energy use analysis.

Geospatial

The Geospatial business combines technologies from surveying, mapping and GIS, aerial data capture, UAS and mobile mapping, enabling workflows from field collection to finished deliverable. Hardware products range from GNSS, Total Stations, Laser Scanning, Rugged field computers to complex systems combining many sensors for airborne and mobile data capture. Whilst often recognized for field devices in this domain, Trimble has invested significantly in processing and analysis software and workflows that facilitate a complete solution with an emphasis on productivity and collaboration. Major centers for Trimble in this field include, Sunnyvale California (GNSS engineering), Danderyd Sweden (optical and imaging), Paris France (laser scanning & office software), Christchurch New Zealand (field and office software), Jena Germany (optical), Munich and Stuttgart (image processing software and photogrammetry), Biberach Germany (airborne and mobile systems), Westminster Colorado (Product Management and software engineering).
