Why technology can change this work

  • autopilot gradually takes control in constrained, well-mapped environments
  • BIM and digital twins automate parts of design and control
  • computer vision tracks defects and progress
  • robots gradually take repetitive tasks on prepared sites

What protects the occupation

  • operation in bad weather, road works and unpredictable human behavior
  • unpredictable real-site conditions
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • responsibility for people and structural safety
  • hands-on adaptation and contractor coordination
