Gropyus has taken the use of computers, sensors and robotics to the construction world in a field that has stayed so far behind the curve it's staggering. As a holder of three contractor's licenses, I can attest to the gross lack of applying modern tools and methods to design and construction in almost every phase and facet. The use of semis in every phase of construction offers worldwide opportunity to apply semis of all types to bring a field that has literally stayed a hundred years back in many areas due to politics, inertia and special interests. This presents large opportunities for tech to vastly improve costs, time savings, energy efficiency to the construction world. Construction offers large opportunities to apply technology of all types to deliver a totally superior product to what is offered now in time, cost and functionality.
Check out Icon Technologies . Their business plan is to essentially revolutionize construction by utilizing 3D printing. I have been to their fabrication site down in Austin, it was an eye opening experience seeing a 1/4 acre 3D printer. They can have a frame of a house done in a day or two. See the link below to their new gen printer
