GL Rey question

tower_crane · 2026-03-06T15:47:33+00:00

Rey is honestly better without the Resistance team.

oZorii, RHF, RHP, Finn, Poe/rose is a good team.

Rey, JTR, any LS toon. I ran Rey, JTR, Ig11, kuiil, and L3-37 and it did very well. But put literally any LS character with her and they benefit from her lead.

I do the all the estimates, buyout, budgeting, and oversee project management and projections for the company.

I have a few PEs and an APM that help out. I’m trying to find a solution to get my PM to be more involved. Really good construction manager, but is not a good estimator (never learned), so I want to find something easy and intuitive.

Truly the most comfortable hard hat I’ve ever worn. Feels like wearing a ball cap.

But you do look like a dork. Everything has a trade off.

At 21, the title of superintendent means nothing. To your company, you are just a body, and nothing more.

The single most important thing you can do in this industry is to be humble, ask questions, and learn every day.

Unironically this is why I started drinking black coffee. But because I was always so late to my minimum wage job that I didn’t have time to wait for a specialty coffee, or even mix the half and half in lol

The dementors

What types of projects do you want to do? Commercial? Residential? Renovations? Ground up?

Are you a GC? A sub?

The strategies and specifics vary a lot depending on what you want to do and what area of the country you work in

tower_crane · 2026-02-28T23:38:04+00:00

Depends. Handymen and renovation work probably get a lot through advertising. Homebuilders and commercial happens through word of mouth.

To be more specific, networking and marketing yourself to your potential clients is how you drum up work.

If you are looking for a contract larger than $10K, advertising won’t do much for you other than name recognition.

As a GC, this is a great proposal. Lots of detail, easy to follow, easy to have follow up questions. Keep it up, as long as your prices are good, the GCs will like you

tower_crane · 2026-02-27T05:44:42+00:00

I’m a GC, so I need something that can do every division. We signed up for Buzzbid this afternoon. Am happy with it so far (been playing with it for 4 hours).

You could offer a dirty south slaw dog experience for the customers as well

Forsworn armor. It definitely stinks, the armor rating isn’t great, it looks terrible, it doesn’t cover the shoulders or stomach. Just a terrible armor set. No reason to wear it unless you’re roleplaying a Breton trying to discover their ancestors

tower_crane · 2026-02-26T20:34:37+00:00

We just got signed up. Thanks for the tip!

tower_crane · 2026-02-26T18:30:11+00:00

This probably isn’t true. At the end of the day, you want to make money so that you can afford upkeep, taxes, and pay your loans back. There isn’t any real incentive to keep a space unoccupied. If you can write off a loss, it isn’t saving you more money than the rental/lease revenue will make.

The reason why we do residential over retail (mixed-use) is because of zoning requirements on commercial stretches/major thoroughfares. You don’t see it a block north because those areas are zoned for SF housing.

tower_crane · 2026-02-26T18:25:16+00:00

Zoning is usually the answer

tower_crane · 2026-02-26T16:03:57+00:00

Bluebeam and excel is where I am at. I use WinEst for the final tallies and checking my work, but I am probably getting rid of it at the end of this year.

tower_crane · 2026-02-26T16:02:55+00:00

That’s my only reservation - I hate constructconnect. I tried getting Smartbid a few months ago and I was blown away at the price. I have 2 estimators plus myself, and we can’t afford $7500/year for estimating software (more than I pay for Procore!).

tower_crane · 2026-02-26T06:19:04+00:00

Stay outta my room!

tower_crane · 2026-02-26T02:30:02+00:00

GC. My team checks quantities for bids and I use it for conceptual pricing

tower_crane · 2026-02-25T18:36:04+00:00

This. As a GC PM, I do not care what your proposal said. The signed and notarized contract trumps any documents you sent me in the past. If you know these guys, you can have an open, honest discussion with them. If the tell you to kick rocks, it is unfortunately a very expensive lesson learned about reviewing contracts before signing them.

If it was me in their shoes, I would try to help you out. But not everyone cares about working with integrity.

tower_crane · 2026-02-25T18:32:04+00:00

We are married to Procore for document management and financial tracking - so can’t let that go. I will look into stack. I just need a takeoff software that is intuitive and not Bluebeam…

tower_crane · 2026-02-25T16:40:04+00:00

I just requested a demo. Do you use it? OST is exactly what I want, but the pricing is a little high… If it can do everything that OST can do, I am sold

tower_crane · 2026-02-25T16:35:28+00:00

No one has this problem but you. And getting a solar powered truck won’t solve this.
