Construction robots are coming to Eastern Canada

Key Takeaways:

• Legend Robot named CD Peintre as its regional agent to distribute and support autonomous wall-finishing robots across Ottawa, Gatineau, and Quebec.
• Field trials at an Ottawa residential project validated the 3.3-metre spraying robot at a throughput of 221 square metres per hour using undiluted coatings from Sherwin-Williams, PPG, and Benjamin Moore.
• The companies are rolling out a localized support model featuring free on-site training, 3D scanning setup assistance, and regional maintenance scheduling.

The Whole Story:

Robotics manufacturer Legend Robot has appointed commercial painting contractor CD Peintre as its regional agent in Eastern Canada to accelerate the commercial deployment of autonomous wall-finishing systems across Ottawa, Gatineau, and Quebec.

The partnership targets commercial, industrial, and residential building projects, pairing Legend Robot’s automated hardware with CD Peintre’s regional contracting footprint. Recognized as a 2025 Contractor of the Year under the Association de la construction du Québec’s Prix Construire awards, CD Peintre will oversee localized sales, deployment, and field support across the region.

The agreement follows a live jobsite validation at the 18 Louisa St. residential development in Ottawa, where general contractor BurMont Construction and subcontractor CD Peintre tested Legend Robot’s 3.3-metre autonomous latex paint spraying robot. During field trials, the unit coated interior walls and ceilings at a rate of 221 square metres per hour with nearly 100% coverage, meeting Level 4 drywall finishing standards. The machine applied 15 litres of undiluted paint without sags or runs and operated with standard coatings from major North American suppliers, including Sherwin-Williams, PPG, and Benjamin Moore.

To support broader contractor adoption and address ongoing skilled-labour shortages, Legend Robot and CD Peintre have established a localized four-pillar service framework. The model includes complimentary on-site operator and safety training, direct field technical support for 3D site scanning and vector path tuning, standardized Canadian operational manuals, and a regional service-level agreement tailored to domestic jobsite timelines and safety codes.

“We are thrilled to partner with CD Peintre as North America embraces robotic construction,” said Jason Liang, Marketing Director of Legend Robot. “This collaboration allows us to empower local jobsites with cutting-edge automation, driving efficiency and industry modernization.”
