Namely the elimination of a human workforce, sure you can get people that don’t want to get dirty or (shamelessly) promote that it helps the disabled. However these people are going to be supervision, not working ,and they’ll be supervising machines that will be replacing hundreds if not thousands of real construction workers. Let’s not forget that robots don’t get paid, don’t get sick or tired (as long as they have batteries), never get overtime ,benefits, health insurance, pensions, families and will never sue or make a workers comp claim. I know you won’t post this but it needs to be said. Stop pretending that you care about safety inclusion etc when the real goal is free (almost) labor
