Fast forward, we had an industrial floor group working on warehouses nationwide. We started losing jobs to other contractors who had laser screeds. The laser screed allowed them to pour 20,000 square feet at a time, which was a great equalizer. Our unique niche disappeared, and we lost a lot of that work. We reassessed our approach and ended up buying a laser screed in the late 1980s. The serial number was 29. We used it on warehouse work and large slab-on-grade pours.

Typically, you'd have a crew setting the screed pads with the laser and another crew making a screed pad using a 16-foot straight edge. Behind each of those were a couple of laborers. Depending on the pour, there might be three straight edges going at a time, each with two finishers, totaling six finishers just for placing the concrete.

Each of those would have two to three laborers, so you'd probably have seven to eight laborers doing the same thing.
