Residential building construction is a complex industry balancing custom and standardized work, with moderate regulatory challenges and mixed capital requirements. AI has clear potential in project management, design, and logistics but faces significant barriers in replacing on-site labor. The industry shows willingness and capability to integrate AI in strategic areas, though full displacement remains unlikely.
