Aren't they going to implement digital transformation in the construction industry even for qualified invoices??

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. A lot has changed recently because our invoices have switched to the new format. I think anyone involved in running a business or handling administrative work will understand what I mean. Specifically, in order for our invoices to qualify as “eligible invoices,” we’ve had to make some changes to our previous invoices…

Wasteful Uses of Construction DX

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s starting to feel like fall, isn’t it! Finally! It’s still hot, but it’s better than August, lol. This is when the weather really starts to get nice! Let’s get to work! Anyway, the other day I went to do some “tsubushi.” (“Tsubushi” refers to a compressive strength test…

In an era where people can’t work, no matter how much we improve efficiency, we can see the limits!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It seems something unfortunate has happened at Shimizu Corporation. Shimizu Corporation Employee Commits Suicide Due to Overwork; Underreported Work Hours—Could Reduced-Hours Targets Be a Factor? As anyone who actually works at a major company knows all too well, the amount of paperwork is overwhelming! Especially internal documents…

I think that, even among major companies, the accounting department is the area where digital transformation hasn't really taken hold!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You’ve heard of “Construction DX,” right? lol Construction DX refers to the introduction of digital technologies—such as AI—into the construction industry to improve operational efficiency and address the challenges facing the sector. Digitalization is also advancing on construction sites, with practices like electronic submission and digital photos having been around for some time…

Thank you in advance.

Transition Period

The construction industry is in the midst of a major transformation right now!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Ever since my article was featured on Google News recently, I’ve been getting all sorts of complaints lol. After all, people are saying that salaries haven’t gone up, but at our company, the government’s wage targets are “roughly 2% or more” for 2021 and “roughly 3%” for 2022…

Will Construction DX Exacerbate Loneliness? The Construction Industry—Which Connects People—Might Lose That Quality!?

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, a project I’d been working on for about four years was finally completed, so I had a celebratory get-together with the project manager there. The project manager is the same age as me, so I felt a real connection with him, and that project was incredibly tough—it was one change after another, lol. With all that in mind, we decided to celebrate the completion. &nb…

Construction DX can’t be achieved without incorporating some level of automation, but once it’s in place, it makes things easier.

Hello, everyone. This isENTA. The other day, our fourth water meter arrived. It has an Okasan Kiko sticker on it, but I’m going to peel that off and put an ENTA sticker on it instead lol. The reason I bought this water meter is that we’re using it as part of our quality control initiatives. …

Efficiency

As we move forward with digital transformation in the construction industry, aren't there other areas where we could improve efficiency?

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Don’t you ever come across management or construction practices in various prefectures or regional construction bureaus where you wonder, “What’s the point of this?”? The specifications are supposed to follow those of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, but for some reason, there are times when the special specifications say, “Do this and that,” right? In one prefecture, regarding drainage…
