A steel lead on a big construction job gets per item packets and saves 15 hours a week

He runs all the steel on a large construction job. The AI builds him a packet for each item from the project document database, and reads the specs and codes to work out which one takes precedence when they conflict. He says it saves him at least 15 hours a week.

How it works

  1. He names an item
  2. The AI pulls its documents into a packet
  3. Specs and codes checked for which one governs
  4. Packet handed to him ready to use

Why it’s worth knowing

Knowing which code wins when two specs conflict is judgment work, and he trusts it enough to count the hours saved.
