The U.S. construction industry is entering a new era of digital transformation. This article reports on RPC, Inc.’s strategic investment in Topcon Solutions Stores, which will help more contractors adopt the latest positioning technology and automation tools. Learn how this partnership strengthens local support and training to modernize job sites nationwide.
The way we build is changing rapidly, and a new partnership is set to accelerate that change even further. Topcon Positioning Systems recently announced that RPC, Inc. has made a major investment in Topcon Solutions Stores. This move is a big deal for the U.S. construction technology market. It focuses on helping contractors move away from old methods and adopt modern digital workflows.
Why this investment matters for contractors
The U.S. construction sector is facing a lot of pressure right now. There is a huge need for new housing and better infrastructure. At the same time, many companies are struggling to find enough workers. To keep up, contractors need to work smarter and faster. RPC, Inc. sees this as the perfect time to support Topcon Solutions Stores. By investing more resources in these stores, they are helping bridge the gap between traditional construction and high-tech automation.
David Alban, board member, CEO, and President of Ring Power Corporation, noted a significant opportunity for contractors to improve their projects through digital transformation. “Topcon is a global leader in positioning technology, and Topcon Solutions Stores have earned the trust of thousands of end users across the country. By investing in TSS, we are supporting a business that is positioned to modernize a massive, essential industry and deliver real value to the professionals who build America’s infrastructure.”
Strengthening the local support network
Topcon Solutions Stores currently operate in 14 locations and serve 22 states. They are much more than just a place to buy equipment. These stores provide the “field-ready” technology that contractors need every day. This includes advanced positioning tools and layout systems. As an Autodesk Platinum Partner, they can offer a complete package that combines powerful hardware with the software used to design modern buildings.
The investment, which took effect on February 1, 2026, will enable these stores to provide enhanced training and technical support. This means that when a contractor buys a new automation tool, they also get the local support they need to make sure it works properly on their jobsite. This local presence is key to making sure that new technology actually leads to better productivity and performance.
