The floor has been raised and you are expected to do more work now. But how do you do it? Create systems that are simple and easy to follow. For example, instead of typing, which is 3x slower than speaking, use dictation tools. There are many out there, but for the Mac users I recommend privisay.com (full-disclosure: I built it) Then use AI locally. For first-time users, I recommend something simple like Claude Cowork. I know our community leader @Tim Fairley has done an excellent job in creating content that can help us in our jobs.

i cant find the pdf file for the plan that is use in the video where to find it?

Rework and defects eat 5–10% of a project's value. The average contractor's margin is 7–10%. So getting quality wrong can quietly wipe out everything you made on the job. Most people treat quality and completions as a box-ticking exercise. I get why — it's your ticket to play, so it feels like compliance for the sake of it. But that framing is exactly why contractors leak so much money on it. All quality really is: verifying and validating that what you built matches the design, and the design matches what the client actually asked for. You build something, you check it's correct, you close the loop. The trap is the back end. 90% of the work takes 50% of the time, and that last 10% — closing out defects, chasing records, handing over — eats the rest. Progressive close-out as you go is what fixes it. I put together a complete end-to-end guide on the system. Let me know if you have any questions.

Burning through usage always sucks and not getting high quality answers suck too. They often go hand in hand and here is a quick video on how to get more out of your usage while also increasing the accuracy of answers on a Cowork project.

I'm keen to hear who everybody is, and what their goals are I assume you already know who I am. But if you don't I'm Tim. I worked for 8 years for big contractors on road, rail, renewable energy projects. I've always worked for head-contractors. I recently worked for some smaller contractors as a consultant when I left my job doing estimating and contract management. It was good, but I found it hard to see a path to scale (other than just starting a contracting business myself) So I instead decided to build software, and found that that's 100x harder than I thought and a very easy way to lose money
