"Paper Reports Don't Work Anymore" — The Interview
Q: What are the main challenges in daily site supervision?
"The biggest challenge is keeping everything in your head. I manage 6 crews across 3 sites. Each team has their own work scope, materials needs, and deadlines. I used to spend 2-3 hours daily driving between sites collecting reports. Plus endless calls from foremen asking about materials, deliveries, and how to handle deviations."
Q: How did you track and control work previously?
"Classic construction approach — paper logbooks, WhatsApp photo reports, and endless meetings. Crew leaders filled out forms by hand, I checked them, then everything got entered into Excel. By day's end, my head was spinning with information, only to start over the next morning."
Callout: Tired of juggling paper reports and endless site visits? AIAdvisoryBoard.me helps construction managers collect and analyze daily updates through quick voice notes, saving hours of administrative work.
Q: What triggered the change?
"We lost a major contract because we failed to identify schedule slippage on one site early enough. Paper reports showed everything on track, but reality told a different story. It became clear: we needed a system showing real-time, accurate progress."
Q: How has the process changed with AI Advisory Board?
"Now each crew leader spends 5 minutes in the morning voice-recording their plan and 5 minutes in the evening reporting completion. AI analyzes this data, compares it to project documentation, and flags potential issues. I see a complete picture of all sites on my phone. The system tracks schedule deviations and suggests solutions."
Q: What specific results have you achieved?
"First, crew productivity increased by 37%. Turns out, when people verbalize their daily plan, they organize their work better. Second, I save 2 hours daily on site visits and meetings. AI helps predict material supply issues and crew coordination problems."
