Yes, you can make a building from pieces that were produced on an assembly line. But the vast majority of construction doesn't happen that way. And even those require labor to assemble.
My point was that the stationary robot arm you see putting cars together make sense in a factory setting, but that it wouldn't be so practical on a job site compared to something less specialized and more versatile.
Give it a few more years. Robotics isn't some flash-in-the-pan fad. It's constantly improving in all kinds of ways. Just look at those Boston Dynamics dogs and leggy bois.
Of particular note is the fact that robotics advancements are part of one of the most powerful forces in the world right now: the military-industrial complex. So today it might be some weapons contractor inventing a drone that can navigate slightly more complex terrain in a bombed-out village, but tomorrow those same technological advancements are going to power the McMansion Assembler 3000.
