AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

AI makes the draft

What AI does

  • A roll-up report across jobs for the owner, built from your dictated notes
  • Letters to subcontractors about schedule slips and defective work, from a template
  • Meeting notes with a task list and who owns each item
  • A draft work schedule, and an updated one when the plan changes
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • Running the crews and making the calls on site
  • Jobsite safety, including OSHA requirements, and responsibility for it
  • Checking quality with your own eyes
  • Negotiating with the owner and the subs
