Introduce Yourself
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

How it Makes "Sense" to Use AI
I want to labour on an important point. The way to use AI in construction is different to other industries. This is for two main reasons: 1. Low profit margins meaning there is not much room for errors 2. Low overhead costs meaning the opportunity to actually save money/increase efficiency is in the driect costs (i.e. the costs of doing the physical construction works, not the cost of managing them) For example, a bad use case of AI is automating a quantity take off. It does not cost a company much to do a quantity take off, and can lead to increased risk and direct costs A good use case of AI is checking an estimate to reduce risk I feel like I make this point over and over again. But still, most software I see and "AI solutions" focus on "saving an estimators time" not increasing the accuracy of thier work

Looking for American or European friends
Hi, I’m an AI engineer from Japan working on expanding into the U.S. market. I really enjoy the technical and development side of projects, but I’d love to connect with someone from the U.S. or Europe who is confident in English communication and interested in collaborating on client-facing conversations. I’m not just looking for a one-time arrangement, but for someone I can build a good working relationship with over time. If that sounds like something you’d be open to, feel free to message me.

I’m rocky
Hi, I am a field operator of a coal fired power plant in the philippines for almost 10 years now. With my experience, it is hard for me to find online jobs, so I researched and I found out that I can focus on hvac/mep world, I don’t know where to start exactly but starting with estimation and later focus on hvac is a good start i guess since I can find remote jobs as an estimator. :D
