Innovation in Construction Automation

In a significant move for the construction industry, Legend Robot has appointed CD Peintre as its regional representative in Eastern Canada. This partnership marks a pivotal step towards accelerating the use of autonomous wall-finishing robots on various building projects in the region.

The Partnership

Legend Robot, a pioneer in robotics for construction, has chosen CD Peintre, recognized as the ACQ "Prix Construire" Contractor of the Year for 2025, to lead its endeavors in Eastern Canada. This collaboration aims to roll out innovative robotic solutions in both commercial and residential sectors, particularly in the dynamic markets of Ottawa, Gatineau, and Quebec.

Field Validation Success

A key aspect of this partnership was highlighted during the deployment of Legend Robot’s cutting-edge 3.3m Autonomous Latex Paint Spraying Robot, utilized at the residential project located at 18 Louisa St, Ottawa, with main contractor BurMont Construction and subcontractor CD Peintre. This on-site operation showcased not only exemplary operational stability but also unparalleled quality in finishing works, conforming strictly to the demanding Level 4 finish standards even under rigorous jobsite conditions.

Productivity and Performance

The results were striking, with the robotic system efficiently coating vertical interior walls and ceilings at a rate of 221 square meters per hour. Impressively, it achieved nearly complete surface coverage while maintaining high standards of quality. Furthermore, the robot applied 15 liters of paint without any dilution, ensuring a consistent and precise finish devoid of sags or runs.

Equally important was the robot’s compatibility with major North American paint brands, including Sherwin-Williams, PPG, and Benjamin Moore. This demonstrated the effectiveness of the robotic solution within the existing supply chains of the industry.

Addressing Industry Challenges

In a bid to tackle prevalent challenges such as labor shortages and safety compliance in North America, Legend Robot and CD Peintre are rolling out an in-depth localized service delivery model. This four-pillar framework includes:
1. Free Initial Training: Comprehensive, hands-on training focused on safety protocols, robot initialization, daily maintenance, and operational best practices.
2. On-Site Field Support: Technical experts will aid with tasks such as 3D scanning, jobsite setups, and troubleshooting operations.
3. Client Enablement Package: Standardized operational manuals and localized training documentation will be provided to enhance user experience.
4. Local Response Service Level Agreement (SLA): Service schedules will align with the specific timelines and requirements of Canadian job sites.

Through this robust support framework, the partnership aims to fortify the integration of robotics in local construction practices. Jason Liang, Marketing Director of Legend Robot, emphasized the excitement surrounding this collaboration: "We are thrilled to partner with CD Peintre as North America embraces robotic construction. This collaboration allows us to empower local jobsites with cutting-edge automation, driving efficiency and industry modernization."

Future Prospects

As Legend Robot and CD Peintre continue to work closely, they are positioned to transform the construction landscape in Eastern Canada. By enhancing efficiency through automation, they aim to not only improve project timelines and outcomes but also contribute significantly to modernizing the construction industry as a whole. With such innovative partnerships leading the way, the future of construction looks increasingly automated and efficient, addressing contemporary challenges faced by the industry.
