Construct new assets
How construct new assets are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Construct new assets 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: Since no child occupations are seeded, the evaluation relies on the Lens prior (PCF category 'Design and construct productive assets') and the process description ('Building new assets', 'construction codes'). The core value-producing work is the physical construction of structures or facilities. This maps to a low physical scalar (0.15) because the execution relies entirely on human trades, heavy machinery, and manual labor in the field, with digital/AI touchpoints limited to orchestration and permitting.

How the work flows
Trigger: Approval of a capital project plan and the issuance of necessary construction permits kick off the building phase.
- Mobilize construction crews and secure the building site
- Procure required building materials and heavy equipment
- Execute site preparation and structural construction phases
- Install utility, mechanical, and electrical systems
- Conduct safety and regulatory compliance inspections
- Complete exterior and interior finishing work
- Perform final quality walkthrough and handover the asset
Outcome: The physical asset is completely built, inspected, and handed over for final commissioning.
