This paper presents a localization system for mobile robots enabling precise localization in inaccurate building models. The approach leverages local referencing to counteract inherent deviations between as-planned and as-built data for locally accurate registration. We further fuse a novel image-based robust outlier detector with LiDAR data to reject a wide range of outlier measurements from clutter, dynamic objects, and sensor failures. We evaluate the proposed approach on a mobile robot in a challenging real world building construction site. It consistently outperforms the traditional ICP-based alingment, reducing localization error by at least 30
