I just rebuilt my website outlining my services and philosophy around construction. Data-driven construction Helping contractors implement better systems and ways to build things with AI workflows, traditional done-for-you quantity surveying services and training. https://www.construct-iq.com/

Just put up a new tutorial on civil quantity take-offs It's a step by step guide on how to measure earthworks, drainage and other civil quantities

I wanted to make a video outlining the absolute basics of how to use AI Because I think a lot of people use the tools, get bad results and make some very basic/fundamental mistakes Simple concepts like model choice, AI hygiene and how to structure prompts can massively increase performance So here it is, a video simple, beginner friendly explanation on AI for contractors

I'm an electrical engineer. It's always surprised me that 90% of engineers in the construction industry come from a civil/structural background. I think this is going to shift. With more data centers, solar farms, etc. Even if you are a civil engineer, I think there is a lot of value in understanding mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. So I made a video doing my best to explain them

Last week I did my first bid in ages. I had taken some time off to build the software, so it was good to be back at doing actual estimating. It was an electrical project but the scope was unbelievably confusing. It instantly reminds me what I hate most about estimating. Spending hours going through the drawings, trying to make sense of the scope of works and put it all together. It feels like when bidding, you spend 90% of your time trying to work out what the client actually wants you to price. If you were going to spend $5m+ on a contract, surely you should spend a few hours trying to clearly articulate what you want them to price? But clients never seem to do it properly.... What do you hate most about estimating?
