The AI Impact Timeline: What to Expect
By 2034, approximately 20% of floor layer tasks will be automated. This impact will be most pronounced in large-scale new construction projects featuring standardized layouts.
Early waves of automation, potentially by 2029, may affect floor layers working in new commercial construction, particularly in large open areas with repetitive patterns.
Mid-wave transformations will see further integration of AI, but the core of floor laying, especially in residential and custom work, remains protected for a considerable period.
