I know a bit about this.

The hard part about construction is that there are around 300 semi-tiny tasks involved in building a house. You either need a very general purpose robot or many specialized bots. The former doesn't exist and the latter is too expensive. Humans are just too good.

This technology makes sense, but doesn't do everything. You still need plumbing, wiring, fixtures, flooring, etc.

This probably solves 100 of the 300 tasks. It's a really interesting problem though.
