đ ď¸ AI Just Walked My Job SiteâAnd Gave Me a Better Scope Than My Contractor
Weâve got a major rehab underwayâconcrete work, rebar, form setting. I was curious:
Could AI actually see whatâs going on from a job site photo?
So I took a picture and uploaded it to ChatGPTâwith a short but specific prompt asking it to act as a general contractor and review the work.
What came back?
A clear checklist of what should be happening at that stage. Then I uploaded the contractorâs proposed scopeâand ChatGPT gave feedback on what was missing, what could be improved, and how to approach it more efficiently.
Hereâs the exact prompt I used:
Act as an expert general contractor. Review the attached photo and the proposed scope of work. Give me critical feedback on three things: (1) anything missing or incorrect, (2) more cost-effective ways to accomplish the same outcome, and (3) any red flags or quality concerns. Be specific and explain why.
The results were shockingly good.
The AI didnât just give me answersâit gave me the right questions to take back to my contractor.
If youâre managing construction but not an expert in every trade, this is a powerful edge.
