Design consultants imagine it, and construction companies make it happen—it’s that simple!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I often hear people say, “Haven’t the technical skills of design consultants been declining lately??” I often see general contractors complaining, “What the heck kind of design is this?!” But, surprisingly, my take on it is more like, “Well, I guess that’s just how it is,” lol…
The materials used in rebar insertion work should be as simple as possible!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When you’re installing rebar, are you sure the lengths are correct? You might be thinking, “Huh?”—but what I’m asking is, how do you determine the lengths during the design phase? This is mainly for design consultants, but let’s say the design calls for 5-meter-long rebar…
It’s better to have a degree! But even without one, we in the construction industry can manage just fine with the skills we’ve gained through experience!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I saw a post on X that went something like this: “After graduating from the Faculty of Science at Kyoto University, I was tossed about by the rough waves of society and, against my will, became a temporary employee. However, no matter how hard times get, I won’t waver from my personal belief that ‘a person’s educational background determines their worth.’ Even as a matter of social courtesy, ‘comp…
What should you do when the blueprint says “reverse-wrap installation,” but it seems like you don’t actually need to do it?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Initially, the blueprints specify “counter-rotation construction” in the margin. However, what if, when you actually start cutting, you find that the soil conditions are better than expected and it looks like you’ll be able to cut normally? What would you do? Generally speaking, you’d decide how to proceed based on the situation on-site, consult with the local authorities, and…
施工の事を考えていない設計が施工屋を悩ます
皆さんこんにちは。 エンタです。 今年になってある現場の設計照査と確認に行ったんです。 それは通常の受圧板を使用せずに、コンクリート受圧板を使用するとのことでした。 それ自体は問題無いんです。 地耐力が無いためデカイ受圧板が必要という事が理…
Distinguishing Between Rebar Insertion and Ground Anchor Work
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, there have been a lot of rebar insertion jobs. A contractor told me, “There sure aren’t many ground anchor projects these days, are there?” Well, the fact that there aren’t any ground anchor projects probably means they aren’t anticipating significant slippage and don’t want to spend that much money…

Why Design Consultants Don’t Consider Constructability | How to Make Construction Sites More Interesting
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s gotten quite cold lately. It’s about time to start bundling up in the mornings and evenings ^^ But anyway, design consultants don’t really consider constructability. Or rather, they don’t understand it. When it comes to construction, the contractors often say things like, “If we did it this way, the quality would improve,” or “If we did it that way, we could shorten the construction schedule…”
