Layout Solutions for HVAC Contractors

Automation Provides a Competitive Edge

Traditionally, 25% of the time installing ductwork on the construction site has been taken up with marking and placing hangers.

By automating the layout process with robotic stations and software solutions, the speed of layout can be more than tripled and labor costs reduced by up to 85%.

In today’s sophisticated environment, even small contractors must look to automated solutions to remain competitive.

Onsite labor equipped with ladders and tape measures are no longer able to meet the tight budgets and compressed build schedules of today’s projects.

Trimble, a California based company best known for its GPS and positioning technologies, has developed a Guide aimed at helping you choose a layout solution that’s right for your business.

The Guide is called The Lay of the Land, Finding the Right Layout Solution.  In it, you’ll learn:

• How the right layout tools help you gain efficiencies in both time and resources.
• How to choose a Layout Solution by considering 4 critical factors.
• How the features and benefits of layout solutions relate to your business, whether you are a small, medium, or large contractor.

These laser layout tools and accompanying software solutions are not exclusively for HVAC work, but can be applied to all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing layouts, as well as formwork jobs.

Using modern layout solutions, one person can accurately layout up to 300 points in a single workday.

Contractors save significantly on layout labor, giving them the opportunity to assign skilled labor more effectively, improve accuracy and quality control, and scale up to larger projects by using universal software solutions that apply to a variety of laser positioning tools.

The TCG WAY – Delivering Competitive Advantages

We believe many of the HVAC technologies considered cutting edge today have only begun to have their true impact.

We pride ourselves on an industry leading approach to the changing world of both HVAC fabrication and installation.

That’s why we’ve pioneered specific approaches and ancillary services that, taken together, we call The TCG Way.

• Exceptionally accurate project estimating that combines decades of experience with the latest layout automations and building information management.
• The elimination of field measuring and sketching labor through the use of advanced coordination drawing and shop drawing capabilities.
• Optimization of on-site labor through delivery of precision fit, wrapped and labeled pieces that take the puzzle work out of installation, reducing time and saving money.
• Avoidance of on-site trade conflicts by careful eliminating collision issues before installation saves both the aggravation of trouble-shooting on-site and the labor of solving problems that never needed to happen in the first place.

The TCG Way has been proven to save contractors up to 35% over traditional methods!  Would you like to work with The Cincinnatus Group? It’s easy, give us a call at 878-295-8009, or visit our Contact Us page today.
