This Is Probably the Typical Salary for Slope Maintenance Workers! We're Revealing Everything! (Part 2)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This is a continuation of my previous post. “This Is What Slope Construction Workers Typically Earn! I’m Revealing Everything! (Part 1)” Once again, this is strictly about the financial side of things from the workers’ perspective. It’s not the gross pay. How much is it after taxes? Even if someone says, “My monthly income is XX ten thousand yen,” that’s all…
What is the best order for someone coming from a different field to learn construction management as a supervisor? (Part 1)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Since I get asked about this quite often, I thought I’d write a post about it. Every now and then, you see people who switch from being craftsmen to construction management, right? Compared to people who go straight into construction management right after joining the company, it somehow feels like a higher hurdle… Or rather, where…

(Part 1) This is a continuation of my previous post, “To Those of You Who Are Told You Lack Good Taste (Part 1).” How can you hone your professional instincts? The answer is simple.

Craftsmen who won't help unless it's their job!? Why is that?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Haven’t you seen workers like this at least once on a job site? “That’s not my job.” “Isn’t that Mr./Ms. ○○’s responsibility?” “I only do what I’m told to do.” This is exactly what I’m talking about. It’s not just slope workers—there are definitely a certain number of them on every construction site…
Who am I, someone who is nothing? How do others see me?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, I’m sharing a little poem lol. I wrote this for newcomers and anyone thinking of giving it a try. The first step is one you take without knowing the answer. When you enter the construction industry, you might think, “I want to be a slope engineer,” or “I’m definitely going to be a paver”…
Just by paying a little extra attention to the details during construction, you can achieve a high-quality result!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I saw a post like this on X. It looks like the anchor bolts are slanted, and I don’t think they’re centered in the foundation… The person in charge said, “We’ll adjust the bolts as we go, so it’s not a problem”…🤔 As a layperson, I don’t really understand…
Material inspection is very important
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went to Joetsu City—a place that doesn’t get much rain—to check out a few things. And this coming from me, a bona fide “rain man.” I was just stopping by on my way from Nagano to Ishikawa. But the moment I entered Niigata, it started pouring down!! I really am a rain man, lol…
No matter how challenging the job site is, you can handle it with a little ingenuity.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I received a photo like this from one of our job sites! They’re drilling right through a tree, lol. This is a real challenge in every aspect—from setting up the equipment to the drilling itself, isn’t it? I’m sure you’ve all encountered situations like this at your own job sites. At times like this…
Tracking a Craftsman’s Output | Stop Relying on Rough Estimates and Become a Profitable Craftsman
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. On windy days this time of year, the pollen is running rampant—it’s pure hell... For some reason, yellow dust seems to tag along too, and it’s really taking a toll on my throat. I’m really starting to wish for a miracle cure, aren’t you? But anyway, work volume management isn’t just a concern for construction managers. When working with tradespeople…
