Following a successful Early Access Program with some of the biggest names in construction, HP has made its SitePrint robotic solution for site layouts available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Ireland.
HP SitePrint has been used by general contractors, trade contractors and geospatial service providers on over a hundred projects, across six countries - including the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Spain and Norway.

“On our first day with the device we did a competition between SitePrint and a manual layout team of four people.
A US $9.7 trillion-dollar industry, the construction sector represents almost 10 per cent of the world's GDP, meaning its performance has a sizeable impact on the global economy. However, the industry faces challenges in productivity and human resourcing. While labor productivity in manufacturing has grown an average 3.6 percent a year over the past two decades, the construction sector has lagged with only a 1 per cent increase over the same time period, according to McKinsey.Slow adoption of digital technologies compared to other sectors is seen as a key reason for sluggish productivity in construction.
The accuracy also impressed us.
Make a couple of errors during the layout phase and you end up ripping out walls later in the project – eating away at your margin.
With HP SitePrint you can help eliminate mistakes and move weeks ahead in your schedule.”
