Become the Jobsite of the Future
The construction industry is facing a labor crisis. Launch a “Robotic Subcontracting Agency” and become the partner GCs can’t live without.
The Harsh Truth
Every large jobsite repeats the same refrain: “We can’t hire enough skilled people.” Projects slip, costs rise, and rework burns billions. GCs don’t want to buy and learn robots—but they’ll gladly hire a specialist who delivers clean, fast results. Don’t sell robots. Sell outcomes.
Become the tech sub that manages the fleet, runs operations, and invoices for delivery—no mess, no training burden for the GC.
Your Business Model: The Tech Sub
1. Layout-as-a-Service (The “Digital Chalk Line”)
Layout is the backbone of a build; one bad line blows the schedule.
- Old Way: Survey crews chalk and tape for days.
- Your Way: Upload CAD/BIM; the robot prints to 1/16” accuracy in hours.
- Benefit: 3 days of layout in ~3 hours—bill top dollar for saved schedule.
2. Automated Finishing (The Safety Play)
Drywall sanding and overhead painting are dusty, fatiguing, and hard to staff.
- Deploy finishing bots for large commercial interiors (malls, warehouses, offices).
- Economics: Bid at market; robot finishes ~4x faster with ~1/4 labor—keep the efficiency delta as profit.
Why This Model Wins
- No GC learning curve: they point at the floor/wall; you do the rest.
- High-value billing: charge by milestone, not hours.
- Recession-resistant: efficiency sells even in tight markets.
