They will not take over construction until they start constructing things in a way robots can deal with. Fortunately people view architecture as art and important. This will help prevent things being built in simple enough way so that robots could do it.

I doubt construction can be automated in the next century. Too many variables, issues, different types of materials and parts. It's not an assembly line, its incredibly complex, it's full of uneven ground, obstacles, etc.

It's like a mobile soft serve ice cream machine lol. The cost of that much concrete and the end result is ridiculous. Your essentially just replacing concrete guys and framers. Still have to frame the roof though and with concrete guys you get a nice clean finish.
