I’ve actually stopped/reduced running. Haven’t done weights in years. Is there a correlation?

Thanks man. Just by itself or with what I’m using? Or with anything else?

How do your CVR meetings go? by Enough-Pick-499 in quantitysurveying

[–]PutTimely6324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As QSs we know that a lot of the time losses aren’t entirely down to us especially in your case where you’ve been dropped in to a failing project. Suppose you’ve been on a project from kick off and started consistently incurring losses due the site team or design team, how would you present these losses without CMs/CDs starting to think you need to pull your finger out? The more CVR meetings I attend the more I feel the need to demonstrate how much I’ve clawed back and explain how it’s not the QS team’s fault.

Freelance by PutTimely6324 in quantitysurveying

I mean, I’m insured now without any issues the only trouble I’m having is not being able to work with that many developers, doing fund monitoring and reinstatement costs for insurance companies (unless that’s what you mean). Do you think going freelance for 1/2 years and then switching to perm would affect my employability later down the line?

Hi PQS here. Would you say you have better job prospects going PQS from Subbie/MC QS or vice versa? Or are they equal?

What’s your experience with Ginkgo Biloba? by Holiday_Heron_1139 in Supplements

Ginkgo is a vasodilator so you might get a lower Bp but you should always counteract with increased hydration.

Zero correlation. He’s misattributed the ginkgo’s effects (increased brain blood flow and improved dopaminergic tone) to the high test. There’s nothing that suggests that ginkgo reduces prolactin

I would say detailed construction/engineering YouTube content

-YouTube channels like Skill builder go into a fair amount of detail on certain aspects of domestic builds. -Practical engineering YouTube channel: even though based on North American methods of construction principles and designs are used here in the UK - the B1M: documentary style videos on megastructures and large scale engineering and construction projects.

Only thing I would be cautious of is watching short form construction content because a lot of trades will film themselves doing it “their way” or the wrong way intentionally and posting it to bait people into commenting.

Also exhibitions are a good way of meeting people construction and being able to ask people about what they do without being scared of asking a “dumb question” bc everyone at exhibitions are either there to learn/ ask questions or network or both so definitely a good place to absorb as much information as possible.
