While some routine tasks such as measurement, cutting, and cleaning can be automated or augmented with technology, the core bricklaying work requires manual dexterity, craftsmanship, and on-site judgment that are resistant to automation. AI tools can assist with planning, inspection, and safety, but most of the role remains reliant on human skill and physical presence.
