    AFR today $500,000 per year to work in the city laying bricks, building times blown out by 6-9 months. I imagine NT building times and costs are a lot worse.
    Robotic construction is the only future answer to this, labour is no longer viable. Importing people doesn't work either they don't want to do these jobs.

    "That’s costing time and money. Veteran home builder Nigel Satterley, who is based in Perth but also has operations in Melbourne and Queensland, shocked the summit when he explained that in a team of four bricklayers, plumbers or electricians, the leader can expect to earn $500,000 a year, with the three other workers on $250,000. Master Builders Australia CEO Denita Wawn said completion times for detached houses have blown out from between six months and nine months to between 12 months and 15 months"
