Here is interesting topic. Since for large construction on surface, Excavators, and Cranes will be needed, can we use them remotely? I can see advantage of Operator with good, 360 degree view, but cabin needs either be pressurized, or work have to be done in Space Suit. In both cases limiting time of operation by amount of oxygen.

For initial construction I´d expect remote / robotic (AI?) operations of such vehicles as much as possible (direct operator for sensitive works only), mostly from security reasons (radiation). Habitats must be pre-fabricated and prepared for (up to some degree) automatic set.
Ofc from the very beginning there must be more outside work be done by humans, but after settlement establishing routine operations could be done by robotic vehicles only (with exeptions of repairs, explorations etc.
