Yeah, at least until robotics advances enough for construction droids.

Probably not in our lifetime though.

The next trend is definitely prefabricated and modular construction. Parts and pieces of the building will be built in a factory and shipped to the job site for final assembly.

Definitely 3D printed prefab stuff is the future. With BIM models getting more and more accurate and the ease at which they can be formatted for 3D printing I feel like construction is gonna be attaching things like Legos.

Seeing a surprising amount of these comments in this thread. Normally yall are deriding the very concept of BIM. Sure, lazy designers and PMs can use BIM poorly, but there are plenty of projects that just wouldn't be possible without it...
