Why this score

Glaziers face moderate displacement pressure as AI-driven measurement tools, automated glass cutting systems, and BIM-integrated estimation software begin handling tasks that once required experienced hands and eyes. Your on-site installation work — fitting glass into curtain walls, sealing storefronts, replacing custom window units at height — remains physically complex and difficult to automate economically. However, the estimation, layout, and cutting phases of your workflow are steadily absorbing more automation. The question for glaziers isn't whether robots will replace you on a scaffold, but whether the shop-floor and pre-installation tasks that round out your hours will still be yours in five years.
