Using AI as a construction project manager
A PM's week mostly goes on admin, like minutes, registers, reports and chasing people, and on the surprises nobody picked up until they cost days and money. AI is good at the admin, and set up properly it helps with the surprises too. You don't need to start with anything fancy. I'd build up in this order: - Give it one job, like turning a meeting transcript into action items or a first pass on a submittal review. - Connect a Claude or ChatGPT project to a desktop copy of your job folder. It finds the LDs itself and pulls the spec and site diaries into an RFI draft. - Have it review your work. Check a bid against the spec for anything missed, or list the week's must-do actions. - Turn the jobs you repeat into skills, saved step-by-step instructions with your templates that the AI follows every time. - Schedule the ones that keep track of things, like a daily register pass that proposes updates for you to approve. My first must-do list came back far too wordy. Start with a short prompt anyway and tune it from there. Once you have a few skills, one's output feeds the next. I check each before it moves on, because you're responsible for what goes out. I go through the whole thing in the video.

Nice!
What do you want to get out of the community (September)?
Hey Everybody, New month! So new goals I know for me, I have had this big realization that AI is just genuinely not that difficult to use. I guess I am very deep in the bubble of people who play with it a ton. But increasingly, I am becoming more convinced that the real skills I want to focus on mastering are my construction management skills. So trying to do more content on construction projects and businesses. The skills that actually matter. The thing I find hard is that AI is such a massive buzzword that any video I do with AI in the title does well. I'm tryin to balance that with the topic that I think really has a huge amount of depth and complexity to it which is Construction. I did this video and was really happy with it. This is more the style of content I want to be doing What are your goals for September?

@Michael White mostly the scope of work, generating it into a bid invite and then tracking estimates and making sure everything is covered. I’m just now starting to use it for some day to day field items like schedules etc….

@Tim Fairley more, but it’s mostly making it so i can handle multiple more efficiently and essentially make it so one guy can affectively handle 10+ jobs rather than needing a larger crew etc….
