Domestic market will go overload with workers if it happens.

All this has been part of the building industry for quite a while now- ready partition walls, ready brick walls.... etc and we are still here. I don’t really see how humans can be replaced on site.

They can't. But what can happen is that they can take the sting out of really big jobs, meaning one brickie can set up the corners and the machine can do the rest, meaning that you need one brickie instead of 5.

Leaving 4 brickies looking for work and putting pressure on everyone else.

Roehampton university was built without a single brickie on site. All panels were brought and assembled on site. The only way you can tell where it starts and stops is the mastic.

Is it made of bricks?

Brick face, eps insulation and concrete on the inside.

Load of rubbish. Look at those plastering machines that take 4 people to setup!

The price of any decent land is ridiculous, iv been trying to find something worth building on to sell but unless you can commit to buying something massive and building 4/5/6 houses on there the figures just don’t seem to add up for a single property

Down here you buy a 300k house and the pull it down... lol

We are days away from completing on som land and what not so hopefully be able to build on it in time

That's the way they're pushing it, offsite fabrication.

Like it or not, I reckon bricks will start to dissapear from our buildings. SIP panels and the like, pre-wired and bolted together onto piled conrete beams.

On the bright side...it'll all need rendering!

I think bricklaying,plumbing,electrical,joinery will be the biggest hitters,,,,,pre fabs will become more common no doubt ,always someone developing something to cut costs and make us redundant.
