It's some kind of laser gizmo. Nationwide Access always use them to work out the height needed when selecting a mobile elevated work platform. Not sure where you can buy them. Sorry not much help.

It's easy with a brick building, measure the distance between 10 courses of bricks, then count them to the required height, not exact but near enough.

As a rule of thumb, 10 feet per storey should give an inaccurate figure to work with.
