Reading this subreddit has me thinking in such a small pond. How do I maximize the way I use Claude daily? Currently, I work as a developer project coordinator in real estate. Some tasks include reading & keeping up to date with policy, creating financial projections (pro forma & all it entails), budgets, analyzing unit efficiency & mix/layout, and more. However, I want to make sure I’m acting in a completely efficient matter.

I also wouldn’t mind using it to learn new applicable skills for the job, and personal skills.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I’m doing a career switch into the family business, my father is a concrete forming contractor & it’s been an absolute shit show! I’ve enrolled in some night classes to get some certs because I’m:

(A) not feeling mentorship & need a potential backup.
(B) project management seems absolutely chaotic and I’m not sure I like the environment of on site
(C) I’ve looked a bit into estimating, and my background is in physics and I do math as a hobby, so it seems more interesting to me.

I’ve got a senior estimator as a midsize GC specializing in multifamily that agreed to teach me estimating (informally).

Do you have any tips or insights? I grew up around construction & development, was on the tools from 19-22 as a formwork carpenter. Now in my 30’s, I’m looking for a switch, mainly to help dad ease out of the business and finally retire in a few years.

Cheers!
