In a country of construction labour shortages, can a robot bring down building costs?

or instead of going all the way robot in the estate, go to assembly line with pre built or even Precast slab raised or preset wall panels
there are do many alternatives even
lego like polystyrene blocks filled with concrete
but we are small in population, widely spaced and backward thinking mostly.
moreover the cowboy builder can get away with some of the red tape, bureaucracy, union and H&S nightmare no bigger industrial company can..
if you check the cost to build/move in a prebuilt 2 bedroom cottage on your own land, you will quickly how mad pricing is here in Australia

Maybe part of the problem is that a lot of people want specially designed homes to suit their own purposes (and egos maybe) and don't want to buy "off the shelf".

Renters wouldn't care but long term owner occupiers are fussier I reckon.

when looking at a 2 bedroom cottage to add to the farmlet, i could not care less yet 300k minimum , and higher rates, insurances, etc etc
no ROI on that so **** it
we are trying to rent the space for a tiny house.application in front of council.as usyal, council is the roadblock/delay/denial/costs
housing issue is a council and bureaucracy man made issue
