Layout starts after each trade mobilizes, right? Not if you're doing Multi-Trade Layout. In Multi-Trade Layout, layout isn’t just a field activity — it’s a coordinated digital deliverable. And that means it needs to be scheduled like one. That's one of the biggest hang-ups that builders (GCs and trades alike) face when they implement Multi-Trade Layout for the first time. What activities need to occur and when? How do build this into the project schedule so we don't end up in a scramble? In the fifth installment in our Multi-Trade Layout Best Practices blog series, we've got answers for you — answers that come from the lessons learned by real project teams. We even cover what to do if your project is already in motion.

For years, our customers have leaned on Dusty's custom Line Styles to make sure every trade could read the layout clearly — no confusion, no overlap, no wasted time. Now, we’re bringing that same clarity to layout points. 📣 Introducing Point Styles 📣 Now you can layout points with distinct symbols for each trade, system, or scope. So when you're staring at 1,000 points on a slab, you know exactly which ones are yours. For VDC professionals: - Assign unique point symbols per layer in Portal - Auto-generate legends to keep the field aligned - See applied point styles in preview, at any scale For field professionals: - Preview and review assigned point styles in preview on the iPad controller - Each point prints in a single-pass with FieldPrinter 2, for efficient layout production - Print a legend on the floor to communicate point styles to everyone - Adjust point styles on the fly — directly from the iPad — to react to changing needs in the field Layout is communication. So let's communicate clearly — with Dusty.

You invest heavily in coordination during Precon — and that investment stays stuck in your digital model, unless you do SOMETHING to get that information out to the field. Autodesk recognizes that for Dusty customers, that SOMETHING is #AutomatedLayout. Dusty is the perfect bridge from digital to physical because it actually prints your model on the floor of your jobsite, at full scale. That's why Autodesk has recognized Dusty as a Gold Partner. Thanks to our AutoCAD Plugin, you can push coordinated design information directly from the design environment out to the field. It transforms layout into a language — one that you can rely on for crystal-clear, accurate, and complete communication.

You don’t need to be a BIM expert to run Dusty. What you see on the iPad is exactly what Dusty prints — simple as that. Taking advantage of Automated Layout shouldn't require a PhD in robotics. And with Dusty, it doesn't. We’ve trained first-year apprentices and seasoned superintendents alike to use Dusty in just a few hours. Field operators can verify the layout, adjust line and point styles, and manage the entire workflow right from the iPad in the field. Simple to learn. Powerful enough to print anything in your model. Build for the jobsite. #AutomatedLayout #DustyRobotics #BIMtoField #ConstructionTech #FutureOfConstruction #FieldPrintPlatform

When it comes to #MultiTradeLayout, what should go on the floor — and who's involved in getting it there? That’s the heart of the fourth installment in our Multi-Trade Layout Best Practices Series. When GCs implement Multi-Trade Layout, two of the most important decisions they make are: - Which trades will participate in the process - What information do they each need printed on the slab In this post, we break down how to make smart, project-specific calls — so layout becomes a tool for alignment and clarity, not confusion.

"There's not a lot of people getting into the trades. Technology helps offset that," says David Meacham, Project Executive at JENCO, Inc. "If you're going up and down onto your knees every day for 20 years, you're gonna burn out your body," he continues. "With a robot doing that for you, our people are going to be able to work longer and have more successful careers." Using Dusty to solve for workforce challenges is good for Jenco's project outcomes too. Kris Geltch, CPC, CM-Lean, VP and Division Manager says: "When our guys show up, they know exactly where everything goes from day one, without ever having to carry a set of blueprints to the project." #ConstructionWorkforce #NextGenerationInConstruction #FutureOfConstruction #RobotsInConstruction #ElectricalLayout #ElectricalTrade #MultiTradeLayout #AutomatedLayout
