FrameTec
FrameTec delivers Dusty-powered automated layout as a service to residential builders, printing full multi-trade floor plans directly onto the slab from coordinated CAD files. Their process covers all trades in a single mobilization — framing, plumbing, HVAC, electrical — eliminating the sequential, trade-by-trade layout that eats schedule time and creates finger-pointing when lines don’t match. Working with builder partners like Mandalay Homes in Arizona, FrameTec has reduced total layout time from 12–16 hours for framing alone to 6–8 hours covering all trades, while cutting pickup work per house to under 30 minutes.
What You Get with FrameTec:
- All-Trade Layout in One Pass — framing, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical printed simultaneously from a single coordinated file
- Half the Time — 6–8 hours for full multi-trade layout versus 12–16 hours for framing-only manual layout
- Rework Eliminated — 1/16” accuracy means trades follow the line instead of interpreting a drawing
- Faster Pickup — under 30 minutes of pickup work per house for installers, versus 8–10 hours with traditional methods
