Canvas

The future of construction, Canvas is a construction robotics company that empowers people to build in bold new ways with better tools.

We started by focusing on drywall finishing, a critical-path field that has relied on tools that have remained unchanged for decades and also one that faces an unprecedented labour shortage.

In drywall finishing, one-quarter of workers struggle with musculoskeletal injuries, and many retire early or move on to other positions due to health issues.

We put robots in workers’ hands to create significantly better working conditions and enhance worker safety, resulting in longer careers and increasing opportunities for women and minorities to join this trade.

In a nutshell, we make work safer and faster, a true win-win.

Unlike most robotics and AI businesses, Canvas is not striving for full automation; instead, we envision the future of robotics within the construction industry as robots working with humans — not replacing them.

Canvas’s worker-operated robotics ensure that the construction industry benefits from automation while training people for the future of work.
