Layout printers, rebar tyers, finishers, inspectors, and masons that already work on live jobs. A field guide to the machines, and who sells them.
Construction still runs on trades. Layout. Iron. Masonry. Finish. Inspection. The work has names, and the people who do it have backs, knees, and a workers’ comp file. What changed is who shows up for the worst of it.
A FieldPrinter draws the model on the slab. TyBot ties the deck the night shift used to own. Canvas sprays and sands joint compound in a commercial bay. Spot walks an unfinished floor with a scanner. Monumental lays brick from a digital course list in Amsterdam.
Call them steel collars. Machines that take the part of the trade that wrecks bodies and blows the schedule - the overhead holes, the night ties, the level-5 sanding, the stake-out in the heat - and do it on the same job the crew is already on.
The industry is larger than any one list. Layout printers in the Bay. Gantries in Denmark. Masons in Amsterdam. Hoists in Munich. Finishing robots in Foshan. A school printer in Lilongwe. Future of Built is the field guide: search the job the way a superintendent says it, open the company file, drop a pin on the headquarters.
Tell us the trade. We find you the robot.
