Hey Everybody, New month! So new goals I know for me, I have had this big realization that AI is just genuinely not that difficult to use. I guess I am very deep in the bubble of people who play with it a ton. But increasingly, I am becoming more convinced that the real skills I want to focus on mastering are my construction management skills. So trying to do more content on construction projects and businesses. The skills that actually matter. The thing I find hard is that AI is such a massive buzzword that any video I do with AI in the title does well. I'm tryin to balance that with the topic that I think really has a huge amount of depth and complexity to it which is Construction. I did this video and was really happy with it. This is more the style of content I want to be doing What are your goals for September?

I use AI to explore ways to reduce the work we need to do and compare different ways to deliver it. I give it the project requirements, estimate, programme and actual production rates, then focus on three areas: Design: Compare the design with the original requirements. Have we specified a more expensive product than we need? Any alternative still has to meet the required performance and standards. Procurement: Could we buy major items, such as a generator, directly? Compare the saving with the extra work and risk of managing the supply ourselves. Construction methods: Compare different crews, plant and sequences. Two crews might finish sooner, but cost more to mobilise. Check whether finishing earlier reduces the weekly cost of keeping the site running. I then get separate AI reviewers to challenge the options from commercial, construction and site-supervision perspectives. AI helps explore the options. We still need to check the assumptions, confirm the engineering and decide what makes sense for the project. Full walk-through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHUXtdkZoDM&feature=youtu.be
