I'm keen to hear who everybody is, and what their goals are I assume you already know who I am. But if you don't I'm Tim. I worked for 8 years for big contractors on road, rail, renewable energy projects. I've always worked for head-contractors. I recently worked for some smaller contractors as a consultant when I left my job doing estimating and contract management. It was good, but I found it hard to see a path to scale (other than just starting a contracting business myself) So I instead decided to build software, and found that that's 100x harder than I thought and a very easy way to lose money

Hello everyone, I am Dylan Groshek and I am very happy to be here. I'm 25 and living north of Milwaukee just off the shores of Lake Michigan. I have 4 years of professional experience as an architectural designer with one of the more successful architecture firms in Wisconsin. Majority of the projects I worked on were, multifamily, hospitality, and master planning for local governments. About a year ago I left this firm because of the feeling of being beholden to large developers who do not care about community, or the quality of life they are creating for the people who use and live in the buildings they create. They often create beautiful renderings and fake narratives to sell the projects and secure grant funding but the final product is nowhere near what was promised. I have since dove into the world of Single family housing with a mission to create a vertically integrated Design-Build firm with a focus on creating unique and obtainable custom homes which serve the clients every need. I am placing an emphasis on affordability; achieved by smart design, modesty of materiality, an attention to efficient building systems and construction technologies. My target demographic is young families looking to get into home ownership specifically in semi-rural areas (15-25 mins from city). The approach is best described as democratic design build, looking to allow young families get out of rentals and increase their quality of life. I believe this can be achieved with the vertically integrated approach where all design, consulting, managing, and building is coordinated under one roof with one mission in place. I'm looking to break the box which has been created in the construction industry in my region, the current way of doing things renders building a new home un-affordable and creates a cookie cutter product. Basements, furnace, public water, stick frame, all abolished and replaced with more cost effective and sustainable hybrid solutions in order to achieve a unique obtainable new build.

I just uploaded the step-by-step instructions and a zip file with the Claude SKILL file I used to build this AI estimating tool If you go Classroom -> Guidebooks/Resrources -> AI its under AI estimator Let me know if you try and it and find any improvements Again, I keep saying in the video, I wouldn't be using this to price jobs but its a good way of cross checking your work in parallel Also, I am part of the Bluebeam early adopter program and super interested to see when Bluebeam MCP comes out, cause this will be a lot more functional

In my most recent video I did a deep dive on what the science is currently saying about how to prompt. Long story short, prompting isn't really a skill. It's all about context engineering and getting the balance right between too much and too little information. Here is the article I based the video on, its by Anthropic and worth a read: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/effective-context-engineering-for-ai-agents
