In 20 years 🤖 will change entire construction and ALL industries and our lives; We will not be using the means and methods currently being used to almost everything.
Robots don’t get tired, need breaks for mental health days/ holidays.
In many trends the US is last to except change with the Freedom of Choice.
The change(s) start on the Left coast then move to East coast and then fill into the less technological advanced sectors. Bear in the bounties may be transparent.

I believe that automation should be implemented with construction machines. Additionally, software and A.I create more advantages for companies by reducing the time needed to make a forecast in Excel.

However, to input data, select the most important data, and analyze them, human capital is required to do that work.

Project Manager specially in construction field is somehow creative as well as not as usual monotonous job. You have to face different issues each and every day in the project and all those issues are new in nature.
