multiple ongoing projects that hope to change the existing construction processes enough that android-style robots won’t be necessary. 3d printing houses, for example.

Never going to happen in the US or Canada. Oh sure the rest of the world will but not those two countries. The culture of construction work can't adapt. It's amazing to me when I see stuff go up in South East Asia vs the US/Canada.

South East Asia: standardized parts, 3 shifts, army of workers, about half of which are women, things just move.

US/Canada: custom everything nothing connects right, 1 shift, all large white males, things take forever.
