Construction companies can better identify and implement innovative devices and robot technologies, or at least the feelings that are aligned with their efforts in relation to their newly published benchmarking report from BAULDS 2025.
“Examine contractors, owners and technology providers how the robotics for tasks such as layout, bores and/or material transport in combination with connected devices and data -controlled decision -making can create a more efficient, reactionable and scalable construction environment,” Audrey Lynch, Senior Research Analyst writes for building people and the author of the report. “This shift reflects a broader industry movement towards intelligent, technically capable workflows that bridge the field version with digital planning and performance optimization.
The report of Equipment & Robotics Benchmarking collects data from a variety of contractors in this area with a mixture of general, special retailers and subcontractors who have sales of $ 2 million up to $ 5 billion. The feelings of this group represent a baseline for the hiring of the industry compared to equipment and robotics innovation at the company level. And year over the year, these settings have improved.
The report is: “In particular, the negative attitudes towards internal, company -wide robotics strategies have dropped significantly in the year, whereby” fair “reviews have dropped by 14 percentage points and not a single” bad “assessment in this year's survey is a strong difference between 74%. Including a 10 percent point jump in” excellent “reviews.
The implementation (in a way) increases during the mood
Despite this increase in the positive mood, when it looks at the actual tech implementation, the numbers show minor regression every year.
If 65% of the respondents used at least one form of robotics or automated machines in 2024, only 46% stated in this year's report. At a glance, this seems to reflect the falling interest in robotics, but it can be a question of growing distinction.
“A large part of the reported robotics of the last year came in the form of pilots,” said Lynch. “This year we have seen a much lower proportion of pilots, but in projects more repeated, which indicates a more selective, albeit serious implementation, albeit in smaller scales.”
Taking it is that a widespread robot adoption remains at an early stage, but a growing commitment to a small proportion of contractors signals that the technology is slowly but surely changing from “future technology” to a really modern workplace solution.
