LightYX Secures $11 Million to Scale Precision Laser Projection for Construction Sites

LightYX Secures $11 Million to Scale Precision Laser Technology in Construction

Israeli construction technology firm LightYX recently completed an $11 million Series A funding round led by NOVA by Saint-Gobain, the venture arm of a global leader in sustainable construction. The round also included investments from Yachad Capital Partners, Shibumi International, Somersault Ventures, and private investors connected to the real estate and construction sectors in Israel and abroad.

Along with $3.3 million in grants from the Israel Innovation Authority, LightYX now has a solid financial base to accelerate growth and expand its market reach internationally.

Precision Projection Technology Changing On-Site Layouts

LightYX has developed a proprietary electro-optical system that projects construction plans directly onto surfaces at the job site with sub-two-millimeter accuracy. This technology allows workers to follow layouts on floors, ceilings, and walls with exceptional precision, significantly reducing errors and rework.

This level of accuracy is critical for trades like drywall and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) installations, where small deviations can lead to costly delays. By replacing manual methods like chalk lines and tape measures, the system helps teams move more quickly through the final construction phases while maintaining quality and compliance.

Adaptive System Responds to Real-Time Site Conditions

What sets LightYX apart is its system’s ability to continuously scan the environment and adjust projections in real time. This ensures that the digital plans remain accurate and actionable even as conditions on site change, bridging the gap between design intent and physical execution.

Proven Success and Strong Industry Relationships

LightYX’s technology has been deployed on hundreds of projects across the United States, covering over 25 million square feet of layout work. The company has cultivated strong partnerships with contractors, subcontractors, and distributors, especially in sectors where precision and speed are essential.

These collaborations have validated the technology’s effectiveness in real-world applications and positioned LightYX for broader adoption.

Plans for Growth and Market Expansion

With fresh capital, LightYX is preparing to expand its U.S. presence, deepen existing customer relationships, and enter European markets. Product development will focus on enhancing system capabilities and integrating it more closely with construction workflows.

The company aims to more than triple its growth by 2026, reflecting the size of the opportunity and confidence in execution.

Advancing Digitization and Automation in Construction

The construction industry faces increasing pressure to deliver projects faster, more efficiently, and with fewer errors. Technologies like LightYX’s laser projection system are becoming vital tools to meet these demands.

By turning complex plans into clear, actionable guidance, LightYX empowers workers to build with greater accuracy and speed. Its growing portfolio of patents and proven track record position the company as a leader in construction technology innovation.

Key Quotes from LightYX Leadership and Investors

• Guy Ben-Romano, CEO and Co-Founder: “Construction layout is still often done with chalk lines, tape measures, and paper drawings. We’re replacing that with live, intelligent laser projection. This funding enables us to scale rapidly in the U.S. and Europe and transform how contractors work on-site.”
• Tomer Elran, GM of U.S. Operations and Co-Founder: “We’ve seen tremendous traction with top-tier general contractors in the U.S. Our goal is to become the default standard for on-site construction layout, bringing precision and productivity to construction sites.”
• Uri Yehuday, CTO and Co-Founder: “We fuse optical engineering, real-time vision, and AI-based plan recognition into a system that understands construction logic. It’s hardware and software innovation built from scratch specifically for field teams.”
• Pierre-Emmanuel Thiard, CEO, Saint-Gobain Ecophon and board member of LightYX: “Saint-Gobain invests in technologies that shape the future of building. LightYX is solving a fundamental productivity challenge with a simple, elegant, and scalable solution. We are excited to support their vision.”
