Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, I’d like to tell you about the CSPI-EXPO that took place last month at Makuhari Messe. lol I go to all kinds of events every year. Among them, I showcase things that make me think, “Wow, this is something!!” with the hope that you’ll all be able to use them quickly and conveniently on the job…
Could it be that the days of needing an actual budget for slope construction are over!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been working on all sorts of things lately, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t need to worry about the budget anymore!—at least that’s what I’ve decided on my own, lol. For a while, I used to think, “Isn’t the real thrill of being a site supervisor supposed to be about the money?” In fact, I still think that way. But that’s a different story…
Who knows that subcontractors are struggling because the paperwork leading up to construction is getting more and more complicated due to the management system?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you feel like the amount of paperwork on-site is actually decreasing? We have CCUS, Green Site, Buildy, and all sorts of other systems, right? So, what do you all think? Isn’t it just ending up creating more work? For example, if the general contractor is 1…
Why is it that fax machines still haven't disappeared, even though we're promoting digital transformation in the construction industry!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Does your company still use fax machines? I think the very first thing we need to do for construction DX is to get rid of fax machines, lol. What do you all think? Personally, I find it a pain to be contacted by fax these days, lol…
Whether it’s Construction CALS or electronic filing, why is it that, despite government agencies mandating construction DX, they themselves aren’t making much progress?
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ll be in the Kanto region the whole time this week. Tokyo is an amazing place that spans everything from the ultra-urban to the ultra-rural, but I find the countryside more relaxing lol. I guess I really am a country bumpkin lol. Anyway, getting back to the topic at hand—the other day, we were talking about paperwork for civil engineering and public works projects in Tokyo, and it turns out Tokyo still relies on paper…
We've reached the point where we can do away with message boards! Don't you think?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, Ishio-kun posted this on X: “No one’s looking at this on-site anyway, so isn’t it about time we digitized it?” pic.twitter.com/kxFndpAxE4 — Ishio-kun @ Construction That’s More Fun Than Yesterday, Yo…
The survey results showed that about 30% of companies do not use digital whiteboards!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I ran a poll on X the other day. *Question:* To those working in the construction industry—whether you’re a subcontractor or a general contractor—do you use electronic chalkboards? — #Enta# (@norimenman) June 4, 2024 So, what do you think…
We’re now in an era where you can choose your work style even within the same industry!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I wonder if one day we’ll look back and say, “Back in the day, we used to do construction like this!” lol. We used to call that “laminating and applying,” right? It’s ancient history now, but there are still a few people who do things like this, lol. &nbs…
If we don’t keep learning to use new technologies, we won’t be able to make construction DX a reality!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Social insurance premiums are going up again, aren’t they? It’s terrifying for us public construction contractors because they just take a huge chunk out of our pay without asking, lol. Let’s do our best to pay them, lol. Anyway, I’ve been designing temporary anchors a lot lately, and I’m having trouble with surfaces that have corners…
