Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
My second job of February starts today lol
I really have a lot of free time, lol.
The machine is being serviced smoothly, but it’s a mixed bag—partly a relief, partly a pain...
It's best when things are busy, isn't it?
During this time, I have been working on cost estimates, design, and bid preparation for private-sector construction projects, as well as cost estimates and bid preparation for public-sector projects.
Since paperwork is an integral part of our job, everything we do involves paperwork.
Our goal is to process documents as quickly as possible—how do you all handle this?
I’d like to share what I think is a quick way to organize documents.
As for how I organize my documents, I first assess their importance and how quickly they’re needed.
Even in public works projects, contracts are awarded in this order.
Here's what I have in mind.
AThis is for cases where the project's completion is imminent and you need the documents as soon as possible.
In that case, I'll send it right away, even if it means staying up all night.
There has been ground movement, and it is a major road.
BWhen I think about what kinds of things are urgent but not very important... I think requests for material approval fall into that category. It seems like a tough situation, but it’s not a major issue.
CI guess that’s an invoice, huh? I’m really forgetful, so I often forget to send invoices and end up getting reminders from the general contractor. I know I really should do better, but lately the system has been reminding me, so it’s gotten a little better.
Claims for the Construction Workers' Retirement Fund and estimates for the near futureCThat's right.
A site where it would be a problem if this part collapsed, but one where it wouldn't have much of an impact on its own.
DThis is just the kind of paperwork that makes me lose all motivation, lol.
These are the kinds of documents that make you think, “I don’t need this!”
That said, since these are required documents, I’ll submit them, but I’m running a bit behind. For example, the route map to the site, lol.
"If it's crowded, I'll just take a different route, okay? I might even stop by a convenience store or something?? lol"—that's the kind of flimsy excuse I come up with.
Although the road is showing significant signs of deterioration, there is almost no traffic, so in the worst-case scenario, the solution would be to close it to traffic.
Once you've sorted the documents, it will be clear which ones to proceed with.
Let's stop for a moment and take a calm look at the documents to think things through.
Suddenly, the path forward becomes clear! (That’s a bit of an exaggeration—just for the paperwork, lol.)
See you later.
P.S. My schedule is full for February, but Team 1 doesn't have any jobs lined up for March, so please feel free to call us.
Thank you in advance.
