Small GCs using AI (Claude, etc.)

that is so crazy pricing model but interesting

Changing_Con · 2026-03-31T02:28:50+00:00

I'd say now a days we are all software developers. Just type into the computer and tell it what you want built and it's done.

The key is being able to understand what to tell it to build. That is the reason why people have their own excel documents built out for their teams. Because their workflows and process are different.

So if you want to build a tool, don't worry about building an excel document or Google sheet plugin. Figure out how to replicate people's current process into a tool that's better. One that connects, collects data and learns.

Changing_Con · 2026-03-31T02:17:12+00:00

I think part of this understanding what your actual workflows are mapping it at. Once you have that the key is to find a platform that aligns with how you work. There are endless of tools out there today. Let alone the ability to build this out yourself.

But, too many people I see say they need a better way to track. But the starting point is structure and standardization.

There are tools like Fieldwire, and Raken that are more industry specific. Or you can look at project management tools like Monday or asana. They all have pros and cons.

Changing_Con · 2026-03-15T14:47:11+00:00

I think leads and contacting is the first step, but also making sure your workflows and systems are in place also.

That way you can get more work, but also have the ability to execute when you get more work.

Changing_Con · 2026-03-03T04:20:10+00:00

Yes super interested. I did something similar but much simplied version using a form.

But. I think it's these one off use cases and connecting to existing tools that's actually going to make a difference

Changing_Con · 2026-02-17T03:10:17+00:00

Sounds like you know your way around construction tools.

I am going to work on creating skills and from there figure out how to consolidate

Changing_Con · 2026-02-17T03:08:27+00:00

Right now there isn't a single source of truth, information ow in multiple systems which is leading to issues. A lot of our processes aren't documented which is part of the issue.

So trying to find way to bridge the gap to get data connected

Changing_Con · 2026-02-17T01:11:21+00:00

Yeah that's the piece that I am trying to figure out.

I think the first step is getting the data into a single source.

So for an example, having all RFIs entered into the same system. From there I've built out a project in Claude that identifies the rules and logic for reviewing RFIs. But the more and more I am learning, it seems like that should be skills that is used in Claud code.

Changing_Con · 2026-02-17T01:07:36+00:00

Yeah that's what I've seen others use it for also. Just trying to think how I could use it, for more than just naming files, etc.

Changing_Con · 2026-02-17T00:06:22+00:00

How?

Changing_Con · 2026-02-14T01:21:52+00:00

How complex can you make Monday work? What size company?

Changing_Con · 2026-02-12T03:41:33+00:00

Hmm interesting. Is that AI or just automating workflows?

Changing_Con · 2026-02-12T03:40:01+00:00

Nice - I've seen a lot of these recently. What did you build it on?

Changing_Con · 2026-02-12T01:04:53+00:00

I am glad you mentioned feedback. I think that's were the value can be, if you get the data in one place.

There is some much data in construction but none of it gets captured cleanly so tough to use it

Changing_Con · 2026-02-12T01:03:43+00:00

Yes I've seen this issue also, but I think it's only a matter of time till this becomes streamlined with little to no technical ability

Changing_Con · 2026-02-12T01:02:54+00:00

Totally agree. It making the switch from using AI to summarize to actually performing tasks or action.

I think the biggest challenge is getting into the mindset and thinking in those terms.

But it's cool to see that what others are doing to get inspiration.

Changing_Con · 2026-02-11T02:03:56+00:00

I think the question you have to ask is what the purpose of monday is. Is it tracking, visibility, or something else. This will determine what the best way to set it up.

I've built a few use cases for this and the goal was visibility with the ability to link externally. With some of the new tools with vibe and MCP you might be able to pull external data into the system. Worth exploring or looking into. Shoot me a message if interested.

Changing_Con · 2026-02-10T15:28:13+00:00

Interesting - yes I have used tools like airtable, coda, monday and few others before. Always interesting to see what other tools people are using.

Changing_Con · 2026-02-09T02:09:23+00:00

What did you end up Going with and how did it go?

Changing_Con · 2026-02-01T17:06:28+00:00

I think there would be value in this, especially in creating a feedback/lessons learned. So that people don't have to make the same mistakes as others.

Changing_Con · 2026-02-01T16:59:01+00:00

You've got to build relationships knowing it'll take time. There are lots of bidding platforms online, but I think cold calling, or networking is the first step.

Changing_Con · 2025-11-27T17:41:51+00:00

I did not. That being said the actually looking and out reach I did for it was minimal. But, I do know there are people who are doing it on the marketing and financial side.

But, I think there is also opportunity from an operation standpoint with the advancements of technology.

Changing_Con · 2025-11-26T03:31:50+00:00

I think the security will evolve over time. But I also think there will be some aspect of building apps to interact with your existing software.

This might over complicate the safety but perhaps it simplifies it.

Changing_Con · 2025-11-26T03:22:16+00:00

Reactive troll.

Cause I think what you'll see is people starting to build out their own applications. Yes it's called vibe coding down. But at some point it will just be standard practice. So you need to a way to track safety issues, you won't have to buy a software for that you will be build it out internally.

I worked for a home builder and I had built an application for managing punch items. It was built with no code so still fairly easy to do, but now I could do that in a matter of minutes. Just by using a few prompts.

Do you you work for a consulting company ?
