🛠️ AI Just Walked My Job Site—And Gave Me a Better Scope Than My Contractor We’ve got a major rehab underway—concrete work, rebar, form setting. I was curious: Could AI actually see what’s going on from a job site photo? So I took a picture and uploaded it to ChatGPT—with 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 contractor’s proposed scope—and ChatGPT gave feedback on what was missing, what could be improved, and how to approach it more efficiently. Here’s 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 didn’t just give me answers—it gave me the right questions to take back to my contractor. If you’re managing construction but not an expert in every trade, this is a powerful edge. ⸻ Have you tried using AI to review job site work or vendor scopes? What other prompts should we be testing? 👉 Follow me for more real-world examples of AI in the field.
