I think a construction manager who can actually perform construction work is the best choice.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do any of you know how to use a spray gun? If you’re a site manager, you probably don’t use one very often, so you might not know how, right? It’s not strictly necessary for your job, but it’s nice to know how to use one, lol. Why is it good to know how to use one? Site managers are often thought of as just knowing about construction management…

You need a decent pump to mix it with hot water!

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s kind of warm for December, isn’t it? lol Don’t you find that if you move around a bit during the day, you start to break a sweat? That said, since I’ve been swamped with design, cost estimation, and quotes lately, the only time I go outside is to grab coffee at the convenience store, lol …

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went to the Construction Technology Fair 2023 in Chubu. It was the first day, and it was packed! Well, since it’s held every year, there weren’t really any new technologies to see, lol. That said, technology is advancing every day…

While the switch to market-based pricing has made things easier in some ways, haven't we lost quite a bit as well?

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. If someone asked, “What’s the standard overlap length for rebar?” I think most people would say, “35D, right?” But if they then asked, “So where is that 35D specified?” would you be able to answer? &…

I had my air conditioner cleaned, and it turned into a total disaster!!

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The other day, I had a friend who runs a house cleaning business come over to clean my air conditioner and the EcoCute piping! Deep down, I was really underestimating it, lol. I figured cleaning an air conditioner couldn’t be that hard, lol. I’d probably never even done it before…

It's really tough working with people you don't like, isn't it!

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The other day, I went to a company to join a certain association! lol Well, I went there thinking, “I guess this is an interview to join the association?” But it turned out to be way more fun than I expected, and we ended up chatting happily for two whole hours. It was so much fun that I didn’t end up joining the association…

Instead of tearing down concrete structures built decades ago, let’s restore them to full functionality and ensure they last another 50 years!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I learned something important during the survey I’ve been conducting over the past few days. The site in question had a lot of efflorescence (white deposits) on the retaining wall (hereinafter referred to as “efflorescence”). I was investigating that area because there were other abnormalities as well. …
