Robots are nowhere near doing the most basic labour tasks, let alone the trades that require a great deal of experience and thought.
If anything, prefab is a great worry for people in the trades. Even then, you still need people to maintain and repair that work.

Robots can already do the most basic tasks and its increasing exponentially. Go watch some of the newer insane videos and the monthly progress.
You think we are far off having a robot paint? That super skilled job that college students do it in the offseason with zero training.
Or drywall. Or framing. Or Flooring. Laying Carpet. Roofing.
These aren't hard things. It's coming and it's coming fast.
Electicain, Welder, Hvac, etc will take longer for sure. But the more unskilled trades will be mostly automated in the next decade easily.
