1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving a two-dimensional architectural plan for a building structure;
converting the two-dimensional architectural plan into a first data file that contains information about a location, length, and style of each wall included in the architectural plan;
obtaining, from the first data file, a list of walls to automatically generate a second data file that contains a list of panels to be constructed from the list of walls;
generating, with a build manager, a set of commands to build a panel from the list of panels using a robotic builder having robotic machines configured to build the panel:
selecting one or more robotic machines to build the panel based at least on panel cost;
outputting the set of commands to the one or more robotic machines, the set of commands containing instructions for the one or more robotic machines to build the panel; and
building with the one or more robotic machines the panel based on the set of commands.
