Layout Technology Made Surprisingly Simple Technology use in the construction industry has been notoriously slow, especially for smaller and more specialized contractors. Teaching your team how to use new tools can feel like an uphill battle if they're too complicated or different from your usual way of doing things. And you may be concerned about realizing a return on your investment. But even for the most non-techy construction pros, a robotic layout station is surprisingly intuitive and provides a rapid ROI. Because of its ease of use, a robotic layout tool often takes only a few days to master, making it a perfect place to start with technology. And once your people are using the tool, the increases in accuracy, productivity, and ultimately your profitability become impossible to ignore. As you explore solutions to address your biggest and most costly construction problems, a robotic layout tool can help you: ý Reduce rework by planning and executing work in the field more accurately ý Get paid quicker by providing proof of the work you perform and complete ý Increase your speed and efficiency so you can complete projects faster and take on new ones Isn't it time you gave robotic layout technology a closer look? To learn how to prepare your team for technology solutions like the robotic layout station, read the blog. 74% of contractors expect to adopt one or more advanced technologies in the next three years. 12 1 Thomas, Eric; Bowman, Jay; Schott, Peter; Snyder, Jay; Spare, Natalie. 2018 Industry Report: Construction Disconnected.
