Part of me would want this, but when you think about it, a Borg that could pick up building materials would be IMMENSELY op. The way the current construct module works allows you do sort of do a repair job as a cyborg, but to truest work at your best you need to be working in tandem with a human.
If you're building things in round you're probably fixing a hole that a traitor blew in the station. If the Borg could pick these things up, you have a character that can access the area that needs fixing regardless of security level, is immune to the atmosphere and temperature of the vacuum of space could patch the hole, rebuild everything neatly, reprocess the shards on the floor onsite and sweep up after itself without breaking a sweat. Whereas a Borg who is there to facilitate a human engineer can choose to be either a walking construct o bot or if they have the engineering module, a sentient toolbox. A Borg with RCD can go in and make the area structurally sound but human hands are needed for the details. Seems like a fair trade off imo.
