How New Jobsite Tech Is Transforming Trades

The trades are changing fast — and today’s job sites are using technology that makes layout faster, easier, and more accurate than ever before. In this video, we explore how tools like the HP SitePrint robot, Trimble Total Station, and advanced 3D scanning are transforming the way tradespeople work.

You’ll see how the SitePrint can take a digital AutoCAD or design drawing and print it directly onto the job site floor with incredible precision. Combined with a Trimble Total Station, this setup eliminates traditional layout errors, reduces physical strain, and turns what used to be a multi-person job into a one-person workflow.

We also walk through a 3D scanning system that can capture millions of measurement points within minutes, allowing teams to verify builds, check for clashes, plan prefab, and make installations faster and more accurate. UA Canada has invested heavily in bringing this technology to apprentices and journeymen, making modern layout tools as essential as welding or pipe fitting.

If you’re in the trades, construction, or simply curious about where jobsite technology is headed, this video gives you an inside look at tools that are reshaping the industry.
