The result of tech in construction so far seems to point to a future where there's gonna be a few high skill people supervising a lot of people who passed a drug test and did 8hr of training/on-boarding.
Things are already steadily marching this way this way. Drop $5k on tools and the dumbest rock in the pile can assemble propress or pex fittings leak free every damn time. The capital investment that the business owner makes pays for itself in short order by taking cheaper labor as an input and getting results you didn't used to be able to get with that input. In the electrical world they are always coming out with new fancy connectors and fixtures that you literally can't screw up no matter how dumb you are. Internet comment sections of non-electricians love these, electricians don't like them as much because they often trade off flexibility requiring more parts kept in stock though sometimes they make up for it in speed of install.
