Construction Robotics Startup Canvas Announces New Innovation Partner, California Drywall
Construction robotics startup Canvas announced that California Drywall–ranked the 9th largest drywall specialty contractor in the U.S.–has joined the Canvas Innovation Partner Program. The company joins three other top interior/exterior wall system contractors: Daley’s Drywall & Taping, Inc., Nevell Group Inc., and KHS&S. and three self-perform general contractors: Webcor, Swinerton, and DPR Construction. All Canvas Innovation Partners are highly technical builders moving the industry forward by embracing innovations that radically improve project outcomes.
With Canvas’s new worker-controlled robotic machine, California Drywall will be able to make drywall finishing safer and more attractive to a shrinking pool of skilled labor, while realizing unmatched metrics for schedule, cost, quality and safety. Two California Drywall tapers recently graduated from the Canvas Certified Finisher training program. The machine is currently being used on a California Drywall project for a confidential tech client. Following this tenant improvement in San Jose, California Drywall will be using the Canvas System on a large, new hospital project in San Francisco.
