ABSTRACT
Presently, on the construction sites, because of the manual process of plastering the walls, there is large
scale need of skilled labors and the higher labor costs are responsible for increasing the overall cost of
construction of a building. The quality of plastering depends upon the skill of the labor in manual
plastering method hence it contains irregular plastering surface which gives rise to risk and hazards to the
infrastructure.
The solution of the above issues is just to introduce an automatic plastering machine which automates
the process so as to save the time and money and achieve better quality of paltering. The finishing of the
walls obtained from automatic plaster machine is very smooth and accurate as compared to manual
process. Hence the machine is time saving, money saving hence the total cost of the project reduces which
ultimately increases the progress rate of our nation
