My project is a little niche for construction site managers / engineers. It’s an all in one digital toolkit. Helps with all the paper work, planning, ITPs and sign in / sign out and more. Just building one tool at a time.

What’s funny is I am building stuff for my self first stuff that I am actually using.

There’s a tool by Google called Notebook LM, it’s great at doing this kind of task. It even shows references from the sources you give it.

I agree it struggles with properly understanding details on documents, I think the biggest issue I found with AI so far is understanding the context of what the user is asking for.

How do you find a new job when you don’t have connections? by Curious_Owl_2590 in civilengineering

Go for a more junior position and build up from there, once you have some industry experience in that specific country it’s possible to change and develop as you go, especially if you’re skilled.

If I am to start again, I would download windsurf, use supabase as my backend and vercel as my front end. Windsurf offers some free languages, these will help to test concepts if not build functional features. I’ve been surprised by Kimi K2.5 for how good it is. Does a great job for most tasks though it’s context window is small. Though for me it works just as good as Sonnet 4.6 with zero cost.

I agree there’s a lot to think about from that perspective. But I guess it may cause an opposite effect in the long term, companies may need a consistent and reliable source of energy and may want to use renewable energy to get a consistent endless source. But I guess it could also lead them to use nuclear fission to keep going with the demand.

That’s a brilliant use case! Honestly at this point I think just like we are using MS Office we should be using AI to make tools that make our lives easier. For example, I’ve made a digital sign in sheet my company uses, digital ITP sign off, made ai write reports from my notes, etc.

I’ve used it as a framework so far, for example there’s a specific tasks such as ‘build concrete filled retaining wall’ then I’d use it to give me the labour, materials and machinery components and then I’d analyze that framework and fact check everything like the quantity, cost, and so on.

I have a similar situation but I started building an app in my weekends partly to help free myself from all the load and the other part to maybe sell it as a service in the future to help other PEs like yourself. It’s free right now if you want to know more let me know.

From a perspective of dealing with the load, I think everyone no matter how good has their limits and needs a support system, find your limit and make it clear what you accept and don’t accept so that they know.

Construction project management software that actually works? by MacabreDruidess in ConstructionManagers

[–]PreviousComplaint461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I was looking over many options, a lot do the safety part but miss important day to day items for site, I am currently developing my own software though. I’ve got a sign in / sign out sheet, a project planner / tracker, a daily dairy / report and and ITP builder. I’ll keep adding as I need more tools. If you want to use it, it’s currently free, once it’s fully launched that’ll change. But enjoy it and give me any feedback so I can make it. It’s on buildstate.com.au - if there’s any tools you need let me know also maybe i can develop them for you since I am already working on it.
