You need to think bigger. A construction won't be made by a single robot. You'll have several, each serving a role. One will fetch the tools for those who work.

But, a robot may not be able to carry all the tools it needs at once either. In that case having either a tool-changer station or something that can come over and swap them out where the robot is becomes useful.

And they wont need to sleep, take lunch breaks, take sick days, ask for raises, unionize or need healthcare. They’ll just work on whatever project they’re given until completion.

And they won't need portapottys.

But they will need to charge or be given maintenance. They will need an on site engineer to perform maintenance and another one to oversee them.

They would be good for large constructions, where each floor follows the same pattern, and for houses.

They would also be very good as as factory/amazon workers.
