Case Study: Dale Construction halves layout time with Dusty Robotics

Dale Construction Halves Layout Schedule with Dusty Robotics

Dale Construction, a Philadelphia-based framing subcontractor, faced significant challenges with their traditional manual layout process. The labor-intensive method was prone to human error, led to construction defects, and exposed their highly skilled team members to a high risk of injury. For a fast-turnaround project building the Schreiber School of Veterinary Medicine, they needed a solution to drastically accelerate and de-risk this critical step. They turned to the FieldPrinter automated layout solution from Dusty Robotics.

By implementing Dusty Robotics' BIM-connected FieldPrinter, Dale Construction automated their layout process. The solution printed information directly from the model onto the jobsite floor with high accuracy, eliminating chalk lines and pencils. The results were transformative: Dusty helped Dale cut layout labor hours by 75%, reduce strenuous layout tasks by 95%, and achieve 100% accuracy. The project layout was completed in half the time it would have taken manually, even after accounting for training.
