Can I ask why you've chosen plastering over say, plumbing or electrical?

You will never replace a Plasterer with Artificial Intelligence as anything intelligent would want to do plastering. Fact.
 
Imo, it's just a matter of time where internal and external labour intensive plastering will be replaced by hi tech innovation. E.g.. external surfaces completely covered in waterproof solar panel skin, internal using some sort of led display panels that can change colour using a smart phone app ?

Tbf dan, it isnt that easy, I qualified 2 years ago, on lead sites it's the most competitive trade by far...a rewire will have 10 interests where a room skim will have 2 or 3....be good when established but not paved with gold how people think when your starting out

It’s not all it’s cracked up to be, lots of faults especially as everything moves into wireless digital era, big overheads and constantly changing regs most sparkles I know are about £180 a day, which is less than me

my father in law is/was a sparky compared to teh shite I had to do his day was a doddle... boring as hell but a doddle.

in the future they may find better ways to cover walls and ceilings but electricity will always be a constant.

If I had my time again electrician would be above any other trade I think... also you can do it when your fat and almost dead. :D

I'm not saying it won't happen, but it's way, way off.
People don't like change, especially when investing in their home.
We've worked on a few eco builds and trust me they aren't a cheap construction, what you're suggesting would be mind blowingly expensive. Way outside of the scope of normal housing.
