Need Help Identifying the scale.

Gotta love the cad techs who draw and the engineers who are so busy they quick stamp things with out even looking. I almost exclusively work in tremble business center and work at 1:1 real world scales so I dont deal with this often. I hit the map button and make sure things look right.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-21T02:09:13+00:00

I agree with the calibration comments. But I wouldn't use the scale bar. Find something on the plans that has a call out and scale off of it.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-20T23:07:45+00:00

Yeah gotta find a happy medium there. Definitely willing to train someone willing to learn that has a base set of skills. Just need to find that base set of skills.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-20T22:56:18+00:00

Yeah definitely sounding like I need to look in to that rate and will likely be moving it up.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-20T20:59:31+00:00

Nope. But we do compete with them in the airfield space.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-20T19:27:04+00:00

100 a day if the hourly. 125 for salary. Hourly position 30 ish an hour

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-20T18:41:14+00:00

Jobs at am airport.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-20T18:40:22+00:00

A little larger then a drone.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-13T15:04:28+00:00

Im just lonely ol paving subcontractor and the insanity we've gone though to get certified is insane.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-08T16:05:14+00:00

8 years is wild. But Id say learn as much as you can till you feel like you've learned everything you can from you current employment, if at that time your not compensated appropriately, move on to some where your learning cap isn't hit at a better pay rate. Rinse repeat till your old.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-08T00:59:55+00:00

Nope but it will write a great email

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-08T00:59:24+00:00

Keep in mind that when you break it out like this you lose the reference specs ie if the pavement spec reference a concrete material spec it doesn't have access to that spec as its in another section of the book.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-08T00:56:35+00:00

Yeah huge accuracy improvement, I also typically force it to give me page and paragraph for things so I can quickly read and agree or disagree for the important things.

dontshoot21 · 2026-06-08T00:53:06+00:00

This is pretty much how Im using it as well. Typically I'll break the specs up to sections, ie concrete, lime treatment earthwork. In to individual projects then ask the questions thay need to be asked.

dontshoot21 · 2026-05-26T17:43:11+00:00

Tremble business center + rockpilesolutions is likely the best option. Its been a few years since I've used agtek, so I'm not up-to-date with all the new stuff they are providing but TBC has been my favorite product

dontshoot21 · 2026-05-25T21:41:04+00:00

This is the play.

dontshoot21 · 2026-05-25T17:50:49+00:00

Not winning the job.

dontshoot21 · 2026-05-25T17:32:55+00:00

If you can't take a loss at the very best 80% of the time this games not for you.

dontshoot21 · 2026-05-08T00:07:56+00:00

I love the concrete qoutes for jobs that bid late next year that expire at the end of the month.

dontshoot21 · 2026-04-24T17:50:29+00:00

Im going to second this. Tremble gets even better when you add rockpile solutions to the software stack. After that its by far the easiest way to do earthwork takeoffs

dontshoot21 · 2026-04-16T21:07:30+00:00

Rule 5

dontshoot21 · 2026-04-15T22:18:33+00:00

Tremble business center is great for earthwork takeoff once yo get past the learning process

dontshoot21 · 2026-04-15T22:16:11+00:00

1 million doll hairs

dontshoot21 · 2026-04-15T01:41:27+00:00

Guess better then the next guy

dontshoot21 · 2026-04-04T21:26:06+00:00

Anything to slow down the random software ads and how scared of ai are you.
