In practice. The Kitrvs winery facade was built in 2019 by masons using digitally guided placement.
What to keep in view
This is evidence from one built project. Its construction conditions do not establish a general productivity result.

The method puts the digital model close to the moment of placement. Each brick still has to be handled and laid, and the people building the wall can deal with what happens in the physical material.
