Utility System Construction
How utility system construction are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Utility System Construction 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: The NAICS lens and description define this industry's primary output as physical construction work, specifically building distribution lines and utility structures. Although the exact digital scalars for child occupations are unmapped, the employed workforce is dominated by hands-on trades like Pile Driver Operators, Reinforcing Iron and Rebar Workers, Sheet Metal Workers, and Riggers. This confirms the value-producing work is overwhelmingly physical.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Utility System Construction sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Utility System Construction inherits.
Utility System Construction links to 3 entities via `specializes` — a real edge on the economy graph, surfaced here so the claim stays grounded in data rather than assertion.
Utility System Construction is itself composed of 3 parts that flow up into it — the sub-units whose work, summed, is what AGI capability re-prices here first.
Autonomous Agents as digital employees
Which of this work becomes digital labor — performed under typed authority, promoted to autonomy on track record.
Utility System Construction employs 194 occupations — the workforce whose routine, information-shaped tasks an autonomous stack can take under typed authority.
