Framework

@cryptofergani Me

I am back as promised :) Time to start the $50 → $100,000 challenge It’s ZERO-RISK, I’ll cover $50 for each participant Last time it took me about 12 days, will try doing it faster this time If you want to follow along, comment "Me" below and I’ll send you an invite to the call group Gonna lock comments in 24 hours

If you're looking for all of the changes check them out here: framework.construction/a-unified-cons…

3) Unified our content model to create more flexibility in the content you can create - we've seeded some templates (more to come).

We've just shipped our biggest update ever - with more features you need to help manage your projects. Check them out below and read more at framework.construction/a-unified-cons…👇

You know what I’m restarting the $1000 to $100,000 challenge. I want everyone to have a fair shot at this. Last time it took me about 7 days, will try to do it faster this time. If you want to follow along, RT + comment “join” below Going to lock comments in 24 hours

@bricksbytespod It really comes down to managing it like an employee - give it instructions, evaluate the output, make changes / adjustments until you get the outcome you were hoping for.

Alain describes what truly using AI well looks like not rushing to present the first output, but using the saved time to think more deeply.

In our latest platform update we detail changes that we've made under the hood to prepare for future features. framework.construction/docs/change-lo…

Once companies are added, you can add branding information to each company and generate reports with incorporated logos and colours.

Now, when you upload your documents to Framework, our AI models will extract company names and details and place them in your project directory, saving you time and energy maintaining one. framework.construction/introducing-co…

techspot.com/news/111485-hu… We’ve learned this the hard way building Framework. Not an easy format to work with. @TechSpot

@PoseidonTPA Closeout is where all the documentation sins come home to roost. Every shortcut, every missing sign-off, every incomplete as-built. The projects that nail closeout are the ones who treated document management like a priority from day one, not an afterthought at the end.

@TheCompanyScope This is where AI actually delivers in construction. Not robots laying bricks. Reading drawings and specs to answer questions in seconds instead of someone flipping through pages for an hour. The document problem is the real bottleneck.

4/ AI is Eating the Construction Site: It’s not just about lumber; it’s about software. $HD is deploying 'Blueprint Takeoffs'—AI that reads complex architectural plans and instantly generates massive shopping lists for contractors. They are locking professionals into their ecosystem, making switching costs impossible for rivals like $LOW.

1/ Everyone thought the frozen housing market would kill Home Depot. They were wrong. $HD just reported a massive Q4 beat, snapped a 3-quarter losing streak. How? They quietly executed a $23 Billion pivot that changes the entire market. 🧵👇

@hc_build The productivity question always gets answered with automation. Meanwhile the PM is on site with a 500 page spec trying to find one sentence while the super calls asking about a conflict. The boring document problem is eating more hours than any robot could save.

Brian Potter just dropped two pieces in Construction Physics worth reading back to back. One digs into why construction productivity has stayed flat. The other asks if centralized flexible automation, an AWS model, could be the answer for large scale production. Both are sharp. Both raise a bigger question for those of us building and maintaining critical infrastructure. Data centers, semiconductor fabs, hospitals, power generation, water treatment. How are we measuring productivity and is one complex system the right path forward for an industry where no two projects are the same? The data Brian uses is macro. Spending, deflators, sector level output. But is that measuring what is actually happening on the ground or is it measuring the ripple effects of what primes and subs are doing as it filters through the broader market? Those are two different things. The firms where boots hit mud, aggregate and concrete pad hold a different set of signals. Change order rates, rework, schedule adherence, warranty callbacks within three years of substantial completion. Can we track productivity at that level and build up from there? I may be misreading the methodology and this kind of ground level data is tough to collect at scale. But it might tell a different story than what the macro numbers show. Whether any of this pays off may come down to cycles. Having the bandwidth to run enough of them to find the right mix. Buffett wrote in his 1985 letter that the promised benefits from capital investment can be illusory. Once enough competitors make the same move the savings become the baseline for lower prices and the value flows to the customer not the owner. But we will not know unless we try. This disruption may prove to be dramatically different than the textile manufacturing investments Buffett watched fail in the 1970s and 80s. The deeper challenge is that the people who know how to run large scale shops in the most productive manner have earned that knowledge over decades. It is their competitive advantage and their job security. Any real knowledge transfer effort has to recognize that and reward them for what they carry. Right now the most effective knowledge transfer happening in the trades is being driven by financial engineering, not by the industry itself. That should tell us something about how we need to value the people who hold the keys. construction-physics.com/p/is-the-futur…

@123worx The scattered data problem kills more renovation projects than bad contractors do. By the time you figure out which version of the schedule is current and where the approved changes live, you're already behind.

Renovation projects get delayed when schedules, costs, documents, and changes live in different tools. 👉 123worx.com/construction-j… #Renovation #Contractors #ConstructionTech #ProjectManagement #123worx

@TheEngiNerdLife This is it. The teams that actually improve are the ones who document what good looks like before they start chasing better. Everyone wants to optimize workflows they've never bothered to define.

📣 Episode four is out now. "Where there is no standard, there can be no improvement." Curtis Garrard of LVL10 tackles this uncomfortable truth in our discussion this week. Welcome to #TheEngiNerdLife podcast, powered by Kahua. #construction #contech #processimprovement

@NotNahm Built by someone who actually dealt with the chaos. That's the difference. Half the contech out there is designed by people who've never had to explain to an owner why the schedule slipped because nobody could find the approved submittal.

This isn’t another “AI-powered” wrapper on 20-year-old software. This is the loyal, tenacious, won’t-let-go construction OS built by the guy who was actually in the trenches for 12 years. Who’s in? Let’s make the accountants irrelevant (in the best way). #ConTech #ConstructionERP #BuildInPublic #AIinConstruction

12 years deep in construction IT — sysadmin → Director of Tech Innovation — watching accounting treat Vista ERP like their personal kingdom while supers, PMs, and owners drowned in Excel and inter-company loan spreadsheets. I got sick of it. So nights and weekends I built Pitbull — the AI-native construction OS that finally kills the sprawl. Loyal. Tenacious. Won’t let go. 🐕

Using Framework? DM us with your feedback - we'd love to hear it!

The model will review your drawings in detail and generate an estimate or takeoff for you.

We've been on a roll lately, pushing new features, but this one we're particularly excited for. Introducing AI generated estimates and takeoffs.
