The bottom line

Only about 15% of Construction of Buildings is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: Because the child occupation roll-up provides no known digital values, this scalar relies entirely on the NAICS lens and subsector description. The core value output is defined as the 'construction of buildings' and 'on-site assembly' of physical components, placing the work firmly in the physical band where AI is limited to orchestration and project management.
