How it works

Robots used

  • Welding Robot

Ways to buy it

  • Rental — the machine for days or weeks.
  • Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
  • Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).

Bot or Not?

A robot makes sense when…

  • The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
  • It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
  • You need data you will compare over time
  • You need eyes on it right now

Hire a human when…

  • It is small, low and one-off
  • It needs hands, judgement or a repair
  • Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
  • Nobody has defined the job yet

Here's the catch for this job

  • Most construction robots are offered as service or project rental with an operator.
  • Have BIM/CAD files ready — many robots need digital plans.
  • Ask for productivity numbers (sq ft/day) from comparable projects.

What it costs

Published ranges, each with a receipt. Not quotes: your price depends on scope, location and date. older price = 18+ months.

No published prices yet. We only show prices we can link to a source, and we haven't found one for this yet. Requesting quotes is the fastest way to find out, and every request helps us map the real market.

Price history

No price observations yet.

What to specify and ask

Put these in your request and you'll get a real price instead of "it depends":

  1. Weld types, steel grades and total weld length
  2. On-site or shop welding, and inspection standard (e.g. AWS D1.1)
  3. Project location
  4. Project type and size (sq ft / m², floors)
  5. Schedule and duration
  6. BIM/CAD files available
  7. Site conditions and access
  8. Union/labor requirements
  9. Deliverables and tolerances

Rules and regulation

Follow site safety rules (OSHA 1926, CDM in UK); building permits apply to the work regardless of whether a robot performs it.

General information, not legal advice. Rules change; ask the operator which permits they hold and verify them.
