New! Enta's Slope Management Schoolis an information site dedicated to slope construction, by slope construction professionals, and for slope construction professionals.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It feels like we’re already in the latter half of summer. The afternoon sun is starting to feel tougher than the heat itself, isn’t it? Let’s all be careful not to get overheated! But anyway, how do you write on the chalkboard in photos of material inspections? Is it something like this? What’s the problem with this photo?…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It would be a problem if you didn’t know which documents first- and second-tier subcontractors are required to submit, wouldn’t it? So, for now, I’ll list the necessary documents. 1. Subcontracting Notification Form 2. Construction Business License 3. Social Insurance Coverage…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ve been out on site a lot lately, so I’ve been slacking off on things like estimates, lol. Sorry, everyone. I’ll be on site for a little while longer, lol. Since I’ve been managing things lately, I’m gradually getting back into the swing of things, lol. By the time I’m back in the swing of things, I won’t be going to the site anymore…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ve been working on safety documents. Every single time I go to a job site, I have to fill out sub-subcontractor notification forms, commuter vehicle registration forms, and all sorts of other stuff—it’s ridiculous. Can’t you guys just cut me some slack already? lol Each major contractor uses forms that are slightly different, so even if I submit the All-Japan Construction Industry Association’s standardized forms, they say, “This one is for our company…”

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, while talking with someone, I heard something that really made me go, “Ah, I see,” and I could totally relate. It was about paperwork—and for us in the public works sector, paperwork is just part of the job, isn’t it? Before construction begins, there’s the construction plan; during construction, there are meeting minutes, monthly progress reports, safety documents…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. My second job site of February starts today lol. I’m really bored, lol. The machinery is being maintained smoothly, but it’s kind of a mixed bag—I’m both happy and frustrated… I guess I like it best when things are busy. In the meantime, I’ll be working on cost estimates, design, and quotes for private-sector projects, as well as public-sector projects…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you on New Year’s break yet? We’re also off from today through the 4th. That’s a nine-day holiday. That said, when I think about getting things organized for work after the New Year, there’s still plenty to do—like filling out paperwork and drafting plans. Well, with the new coronavirus, I can’t really go anywhere anyway…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Another ordinary Sunday has come to an end, and it’s Monday already lol. A three-day weekend? Well… it is the end of the fiscal year, after all! lol Anyway, moving on. I often hear people ask about photography techniques that they’re curious about. I’m going to list them here lol—partly as a reminder to myself, too. 1. The government official’s body is cut off…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I received a request for a quote from a government office, but I was so busy that I completely forgot about it. I’m pretty sure they told me over the phone… Verbal work instructions like that just don’t cut it at this time of year. I need to make sure I can confirm things properly via email so I don’t forget to add it to my to-do list…
