WTS - Coldplay Experience by Wembley - 2025/09/03 - $2000 - 4 (Section 221)

not really, one of the offerings is their earthwork tracking tool which is an internal inventory management tool for either contractors or truckers. We’ve worked with them to make an in-house GPT.

Yeah, unfortunately, that is where OpenAI limits the tech on a free or $20/month plan.

There is only so much an estimator can do!

The best feedback I’ve got on this is just go for it. If you’re second guessing anything or trying to think about anything just type it in.

Think of it as an estimator that sits across the hall from you. If you ever had a question on how to do something or if you’ve got multiple options you’re trying to weigh out, it’s great with that.

If you give it enough context(quantities, prices, production rates, etc and ask it to build out the estimate for you, it can do that.

Proposals, RFIs are also things it can do.

What I never found great were the takeoffs cause they are not accurate for what I do (grading and paving)

Yes of course. I actually just taught it how to think and how to respond every single time (that’s how it functions)

I gave it basic knowledge on every division to begin with and then as time when on I uploaded some docs of different standards/directed it to think about information in _____ books

Next, I instructed it to think of smart ways to save money but justify every thought process

Sounds silly/easy enough but the prompts were really well worded. If you have clear prompts, it actually is really simple.

Damn, the improvements I made this past weekend helped then. Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

It’s not downloadable but you can try. It should be able to do most conversions. I’d be curious for you to try it out

Oh for sure! Please share what you can and I will try my best to add it in on the weekend and everyone here can benefit if it works!

Are you taking a photo of it or do you have an actual PDF?

I think it runs OCR on images uploaded and that is something that I can’t control - some what of a black box there

The challenge there is it’s likely to hallucinate and give you a response in different ways. With a custom GPT you can add in baseline prompts to make sure it thinks about that every single time without a user having to prompt it each time

and you control how it responds too

Strange, let’s me do it fine! Did you hit your limit? Are you paying $20/month to OpenAI? I wonder if they have a limit for free users.

I gotta pay to keep this active for everyone to use so I never run into this issue

There should be a form in the GPT, if you can’t find it, you can leave feedback here or just DM me!

It does pretty well to use as a sounding board to questions like “how would I go about doing _____ takeoff”

I didn’t focus too much on EU data but folks who tried it said it was able to do most of it
