Layout equipment and layout method

A layout method for locating a plurality of positions at a construction site using layout equipment, comprising:

• positioning a single laser transmitter at a known position at said construction site;
• transmitting wirelessly an instruction to said single laser transmitter from a remote control device, identifying a position to be located;
• projecting a first beam of first laser light and a second beam of second laser light horizontally from said laser transmitter on a heading toward said position to be located, wherein said first beam and said second beam are parallel to each other, said first laser light and said second laser light are different colors;
• placing a laser target rod having an elongated body including retroreflective material on said elongated body, said retroreflective material extending substantially the entire length of said elongated body;
• sensing the reflection of said beams from said laser target rod to said single laser transmitter;
• transmitting wirelessly to said remote control from said single laser transmitter a first indication that said laser target rod is in the path of said beams;
• transmitting wirelessly to said remote control from said laser transmitter the distance between said laser transmitter and said laser target rod, and the distance and direction which the laser target rod is to he moved to reach said position to be located;
• moving said laser target rod toward said position to be located;
• and
• transmitting wirelessly to said remote control from said laser transmitter a second indication that said laser target rod had reached, and is located at, said position to he located.
