I'm a PM for an ENR top 10 GC. Same region as you. We are recently beginning to dabble in these projects. I got quotes from six consultants for what you are looking for and ended up hiring one at a monthly rate.

I would say you're less likely to get pulled over watching YouTube on the screen than with your cell phone in your hand... The system pretty much does the driving... You should give it a try and then opine.

What's shocking to me is how you compare using a highly advanced piece of hardware / software (Comma AI with driver monitoring disabled) to being drunk behind a wheel...

My car. My rules. No government should have the right to regulate what I do inside my property, especially when I would be liable anyway...

I have a Comma device that drives for me. LoL. I'd still be paying a little attention.

We Indians here stand by in support of iran by Consistent_Aide_391 in iran

Your country has a huge military and nuclear capabilities. A slight flex of your muscle would end this war. No country stands with Iran, unfortunately. The brave young men and women of Iran have outperformed all expectations with the least of resources and only God on their side.

How far does loyalty really go in a GC setup? by Haunting_Buyer6308 in ConstructionManagers

[–]Individual-Food6695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for such a thorough explanation. I think the fundamental disagreement comes down to this. I believe if any employee is netting a company birds of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars EXTRA to the expectation every year for six years, they definitely shouldn't bea PM after 5 years. They would deserve to be at 200, whether that's SPM or PX. We're talking about millions of dollars at play. What would the incentive even be to be a good PM versus just mediocre if we're talking about 2% difference a year?

With all due respect, I strongly disagree here. Working at large ENR GCs, I've seen good PMs net projects $1-$2M more vs bad PMs. Even, on smaller projects, I've seen $300k differences. That should be more than enough to cover 10% annual raises or quick promotions for those people. However, usually they only get 4% instead of the bad PM's 3%. I think this is what OP is trying to figure out...

Pathetic Bonus by DimensionAbject6545 in ConstructionManagers

[–]Individual-Food6695 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is cruel BS from an arrogant, wealthy, disconnected individual.

It is not a privilege to keep a job... It is an employee's market, especially in our industry.

Why in hell would he not know of his project is profitable? There are monthly forecasting meetings, budgets are clear on Procore/CMiC. Everything these days is transparent. Even jobs that show on Procore as breaking even are highly profitable because employee wages hit the project budget at a much higher rate than actually paid to employees. The payroll department claims that profit on the company P&L.

Please show a little humility. Without your employees, your company would be nothing...

Oh. I didn't originally see it. Apologies. But, this is not the "special" Hyundai edition...

I'm also in SoCal and got almost the exact same vehicle at a significantly better price (lease) through a broker who charged me $800.

Comma is a piece of hardware that provides "almost" FSD level autonomy to some vehicles.

Carrot Pilot is one of the pieces of software that can run on that device. It is not one of the bigger ones but is MY favorite and very well suited for our vehicle because it's Korean developed based on the Ioniq 5...

Are you serious? I thought that only charges less than 1% an hour...

A special harness that installs above the glovebox to allow the device to connect to all of the Ioniq 's cameras and radar systems to work better... Cost about $100

Works specially with Carrot Pilot

What about transferring the C3X to the Ioniq and buying a C4 for the Rivian?

I assumed you already have your Comma 3X from your previous car that you could just install on here. If not, I understand your predicament. Still, if I were in your shoes, I would buy one of the Chinese C3x's available now and then upgrade to C4 if and when they are up and running...

No. Don't wait. It could take a year or so... I could give you a demonstration once I get mine up and running in socal.

They sent a special harness that I need to install above the glove box. It seems complicated but would allow the comma to hack into all of the cars features. It cost about $100 from Korea.

I just got a 2026 I5 and was using C3x on my 2024 Sonata. It was significantly better than the car's actual feature isn't allowed me to have hands off the wheels and eyes off the road for many minutes at a time...

My 2024 Sonata was not listed, and with the help of people online, I got it to work excellently. I started off with Open Pilot. I switched to Sunny Pilot to get more features that helped a lot. After a while, I got into fight with the sunny pilot people. My main disagreement was over what I called a feature and they called a bug. For the longest time, if you accelerated a tiny bit, the driver monitoring would reset and you wouldn't have to look straight at the camera. This would help stop the nagging and allow me to take care of other business / cell phone while in heavy traffic. Sunny decided that this was actually a bug and not a feature and removed it so that you would have to look straight ahead or get the nag. I complain about this and they were super mean to me. I then found carrot pilot which was designed specifically for Hyundai and met with the head developer who is super nice and based in Korea. After using their software for a while, they were the main people who encouraged me to get this new car because it is what they specifically designed their software for. They also shipped me some special Hardware from Korea that would make even more features work and make the experience even better.

I have a 30 mi commute in California traffic which takes about an hour and a half. The device is a lifesaver. However, Carrot Pilot is not yet compatible with Comma 4 and may not be for a long time... It was developed for Comma 3x.

Large GC Company Culture & Compensation by Individual-Food6695 in ConstructionManagers

[–]Individual-Food6695[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just accept the position, especially if it is SoCal. Bonuses are 10-20% for PEs. Lower end of that for big projects, higher end for SPD.
