Robotic total station surveying
Robotic total stations and rovers for site staking and as-builts.
People ask for this as: “robotic total station rental”, “site staking”
How it works
Robots used
- Robotic Total Station
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.
