How it works

Robots used

  • Line Marking Robot

Ways to buy it

  • Raas — a subscription covering robot, software and support.
  • 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 to specify and ask

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

  1. Number and type of fields (soccer, football, baseball) and line layouts
  2. How often fields are remarked during the season
  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.
