Buy surveying equipment in Singapore.
Total stations, GNSS receivers, levels, 3D laser scanners and handheld LiDAR, supplied new and quoted one instrument at a time: the exact variant, what is in the box, and a price with no GST to add.
From setting out to scanning.
The instruments a Singapore survey, construction or engineering team buys, from the total station on site every day to the scanner that documents the finished building.
Manual and robotic total stations for setting out, control and detail survey, in 1″ and 2″ accuracy classes and reflectorless ranges of 500 m to 1,000 m.
RTK rovers and base stations for control and topographic work, used in Singapore with network corrections from SLA's SiReNT service.
Automatic levels for site levelling and digital levels where the readings have to be recorded and exported.
Terrestrial scanners for survey-grade building, plant and heritage capture, up to long-range systems such as the Trimble X12.
XGRIDS Lixel K1, K2 and L2 Pro handheld scanners, and PortalCam for 3DGS capture: whole floors and sites captured at walking pace.
Tripods, tribrachs, prisms, poles, batteries and processing licences, quoted with the instrument or on their own.
GNSS, total stations and levels
Total station on siteChoosing the instrument
Start from the job, not the catalogue. A contractor setting out columns needs a total station; a surveyor fixing control over an open site needs GNSS; a team documenting a finished building needs a scanner. The table below is how we narrow it down on the first call.
| The job | Instrument | What decides the model |
|---|---|---|
| Setting out, control traverses, detail survey | Total station | Angular accuracy (1″ or 2″), reflectorless range, robotic or manual |
| Topographic survey, control on open sites | GNSS receiver | RTK performance, tilt compensation, network corrections |
| Site levels, floor flatness, settlement | Auto or digital level | Accuracy per km, whether readings must be recorded |
| Survey-grade building, plant or heritage capture | Terrestrial laser scanner | Range, accuracy, speed per station, registration workflow |
| Fast as-built capture of floors and sites | Handheld SLAM LiDAR | Relative accuracy, RTK, colour, processing software |
For scanners, our device comparisons set the models side by side, and each scanner in the fleet has its own page, from the Lixel K2 to the Trimble X12.
Five things to check before you buy
The same model name can cover several instruments. These are the questions a buyer’s procurement asks after the order, so we settle them before the quotation goes out.
- The exact variant. A total station sold as one model comes in accuracy classes (1″ or 2″) and reflectorless ranges (R500 or R1000). The quotation names the variant.
- Firmware language. Some instruments are built for a particular market. Confirm the menus switch to English.
- What is in the box. Batteries, charger, case and tribrach, and what is not: prisms and poles are often separate lines.
- Warranty and service. Which warranty applies to the unit, and who services and calibrates it. Ask before you order and we answer plainly.
- Software. Field and office software is often licensed by module. We price the modules you need separately rather than guessing.
Pricing, GST and payment
Every instrument gets its own quotation, so two options never add up to a meaningless total, and each comes with the manufacturer’s spec sheet in English. Volumet’s documents are issued by Live Brighter Pte. Ltd., which is not GST-registered: no GST is chargeable, and the invoice is headed “Invoice”, not “Tax invoice”, so your finance team’s three-way match does not stall on a GST line that is not there.
Payment is in full on confirmation of order, and delivery is scheduled on receipt of payment. The quotation states the delivery date against a payment date, which survives a slow approval cycle better than a promise of so many days.
Buying against a tender specification
A named model is a named model. Where your specification lists a particular instrument, we quote exactly that. If a sibling model on the same platform would do the job for less, we put it beside the compliant quote as an alternative, and it is only supplied with your written approval as an equivalent. Bundled items in the specification, such as training or scheduled calibrations, are priced as their own lines so you can compare like with like.
Delivery outside Singapore
Singapore firms often buy for projects elsewhere in the region. When the instrument is going to a site abroad, we can ship it straight to the project country instead of through Singapore, which usually lowers the price. We state the delivery terms on the quotation, and the consignee and importer of record are named up front so the shipment does not stop at the gate.
Rent, buy or have it surveyed
Buy when the instrument will be on site most weeks and your team owns the processing. If the need is one project, renting costs less and the scanners in our fleet can be tried on real work before you commit. If the need is a deliverable rather than an instrument, our team can do the scanning or the survey and hand over the drawings or model.
From specification to delivery.
The model, or the job and the accuracy it needs. A tender specification is fine.
Accuracy class, range, firmware language, what is in the box and the warranty, settled before we quote.
One quotation per instrument, with the English spec sheet and a delivery date tied to payment.
Your purchase order and payment in full; delivery is scheduled on receipt.
To your office, your site, or straight to a project abroad, with the invoice your procurement expects.
Quoted per instrument.
The price follows the exact variant, the accessories and where it is delivered, so every instrument gets its own quotation. No GST is chargeable on it.

Common questions.
Which surveying instruments can you supply?
Total stations, GNSS receivers, auto and digital levels, terrestrial 3D laser scanners, handheld SLAM LiDAR scanners, and the tripods, prisms, poles, batteries and software that go with them. Tell us the model, or the job, and we quote the instrument that fits.
Are the instruments new?
Yes. We supply new instruments, sourced to order for each quotation.
Do your prices include GST?
No GST is chargeable. Volumet's documents are issued by Live Brighter Pte. Ltd., which is not GST-registered, so the price on the quotation is the price you pay.
What are the payment terms?
Payment in full on confirmation of order, and delivery is scheduled on receipt of payment. The quotation ties the delivery date to the payment date so both sides know where they stand.
Our tender names a specific model. Can you match it?
Yes. We quote the named model as specified. If a sibling model would do the same job for less, we offer it beside the compliant quote, never as a substitute, and only with your written approval.
What warranty comes with the instrument?
It depends on the instrument and the channel it comes through. Ask before you order and we tell you plainly which warranty applies to the unit you are quoted and who services it.
Do you provide English spec sheets?
Yes. Every quotation comes with the manufacturer's specification sheet in English, so procurement can check the variant, accuracy class and range line by line.
Can you deliver to a project outside Singapore?
Yes. We can ship straight to the project country, which often lowers the price because the goods never pass through Singapore. Tell us the destination and who the consignee will be.
Can I try a scanner before buying?
For the scanners in our own fleet, yes: rent one for a real project first. The Lixel K1, K2 and L2 Pro, PortalCam, Matterport Pro3, Leica BLK360 G2, Leica RTC360 and Trimble X12 are all available to rent by the week.
Would it be cheaper to have you do the survey?
Often, if the work is occasional. Buy when the instrument will be used most weeks; otherwise our team can capture the site and deliver the drawings or model instead.
