Have any of you used Bilds.AI yet? It's amazingly accurate for an AI and it works with both PDF & CAD. I've had pretty good success with it over the past few weeks wondering if you guys have tried it out.

Do you think $4,000 to trench a 80’x30”x1’ and a 3x3 for a gas service line no backfill included is a reasonable price, but this has to be done on a main road with traffic management, I have to rent a excavator I have a crew of 5, 3 people helping excavate 2 people managing the traffic on both ends, I have to buy all the traffic stuff I have to be in charge of the disposal fees is this a reasonable price or am I underbidding I’m in Southern California? Owner said she found someone cheaper that they can do it for 2500 and it’s a crew of only 3 you think I overbidded?

Im super interested with germans construction style because it seems very robust and high standard. can somebody tell me a site or an open source where I can find german construction practices?

Hey Guys,

I'm a College student and my school offers a certificate program to get CPR certified and OSHA 30 certified, while also working for a construction company that does utility construction. My question is I love the fact of building things and such and want to be apart of the field on the business side of things and wonder is a business administration degree the best choice or is what my community college offering which is a utility construction management associates degree the better option. End Goal is to either be a Estimator or hell even a Superintendent which ever keeps me more involved in all aspects of the project.

Thanks

For a little context, people at the site I work on mainly consists of formwork carpenters, steal fixers and cement finisher's, however I’d like to hear about any other possible option that could be better

What are these spots on my garage wall?

So I’ve always had bad lungs since I could remember and recently I was diagnosed with early stage COPD. My whole life I’ve worked in construction and now I’m working at a gravel crushing mine so tons of silica and other stuff my lungs aren’t gunna like.

This job is by far the best and highest paying job I’ve ever had and it’s a stable unionized job so no bouncing around looking for the next gig like I’m use to. I finally have some stability in my life but I don’t suppose it’s worth it if it’s going to end up killing me.

I am just wondering if I were to use a full face respirator with the P100 filters would I be ok to stay in this industry long term or would it not be worth the risk ?

We hired a worker to redo our front yard. He and his crew have done fantastic work so far. They came every day for two weeks, like clockwork, and were paid for the work done so far. Now the people have stopped showing up. It's been over a week. We've texted them, and they say they're coming, but then they don't show. I know we could find someone else to finish the work, but I'm wondering - what could be going on?

I am about to hand in my notice to my current employer after my manager decided to have a go at me. Me and him have often butted heads and he is known in the local industry as a fuckwit but until this point he has been tolerable.

However the straw that broke the camel's back is when I went to my direct supervisor to ask of I could borrow our small truck to pick up some lumber he accused me of going behind his back. When I pointed out I asked my supervisor because he was the only one in the office at the time he then responded with "you know we don't have to have you as a driver here" this comment coupled with his in general childish behaviour and his disrespectful way of talking to me and others means that I will be ending my employment and going to drive a truck for a roading company.

It's a shame because I enjoy scaffolding and my coworkers however this 1 man is making me contemplate biking in front of a truck each morning and I cannot put my family and partner through that. But on the upside I'm looking forward to overtime, better pay and having my Saturday back.

Edit: Thank you all for your kind words and wisdom. I will make an update post when I hand in my notice because I am sure that conversation will be an experiance lol

I been asking for for work in home depot and Lowe's parking lots and I have got a couple but some old man walked up to me today and told me I will probably get killed or robbed doing that. Is he right?

A colleague with another company is renovating an office space. They've demo'd the space and partially demo'd the bathroom (sink gone, toilet still there).

When asked where they are to wash their hands, the foreman told them "in the toilet". They thought he was joking - he wasn't. They thought he meant the tank - he didnt. He was seen several times washing his hands in the bowl.

When my colleague complained to him how disgusting that is he treated her like she was being too sensitive. I suggested she walk away from the project because if the foreman is that dumb and gross, whats next?

This is a decent sized company in Whistler, BC.

I can totally see how Heathrow expansion is at least decade away, it’s bloody complicated for starters. But I looked up the Gatwick expansion plans today and I can’t believe how uncomplicated it is. Can someone explain how Gatwick moving it’s runway by 12 metres further north can take 5 years of building.
