it will not be made by LLMs, because it's upmost important buildings are built exactly to spec. You will want a proper list of instructions for the machine, not something a model comes up with on the fly.

We can't let the BOWKYS win
...this assumes that no one will ever connect LLMs to machinery, or generate code to run machinery (gcode, for example)?
Physical systems are a lot more expensive to train. It's questionable if they can safely finish buildings before some better new form of AI is invented.

All jobs like this are going to pay minimum wage once the rest of the workers are replaced with AI and there are lines of people willing to work for no money.
If only the construction trades could develop some kind organization to protect members from race to the bottom wages and also promote training that improves work quality.

I remember when it was just as laughable for a phone to dial itself, anything to update itself, computers to write code, etc.
This doesn't show that AI won't eventually be constructing buildings. It just shows you're laughing that a thing that's pretty much certain to happen will never be possible.
Yeah, robotics and AI aren't at a point where they can build a row of houses with zero humans involved... that doesn't say that won't happen "eventually."
The vast majority of technology we use daily was unrealistic science fiction just 50 years ago and completely insane to consider much farther back than that.
