Walked a job site in Boise last week and the whole crew was scanning QR codes on the framing
I was in Boise visiting a 14 unit apartment build two weeks ago and every stud pack had a QR sticker on it. The foreman pulled out his phone, scanned one, and the cut list and install date popped right up. He said they stopped digging through paper plans in the rain about 6 months back and their rework calls went way down. I run a small framing crew and we still do everything on printed sheets in a binder. Is anyone here actually using QR tags on lumber, and what do you use to make the tags hold up outside?

How long have they been running those tags on the stud packs? I used to figure this was just another tech gimmick that would slow a crew down, but hearing that their rework calls dropped is what got me. We run off printed sheets in a binder too, and I always said paper works fine, until you watch a guy stand in the rain flipping pages trying to find one wall. Now I'm starting to think the tag is worth it just to stop the digging. For outside, I've seen guys use clear packing tape over laser printed labels, but I'd like to know if that actually lasts a full season.
