Why People Can Always Tell When AI Wrote Your Text
Young adults are letting ChatGPT draft their texts and hard conversations. Here's why it's obvious and what actually works instead.
I need a complete material and quantity takeoff for the plumbing piping in a commercial building. You will work directly from my set of detailed architectural
I have a full set of commercial HVAC drawings and I need an accurate, itemised quantity take-off as soon as possible. The focus is on the ductwork, mechanical equipment, VCDs, NRDs, fire/smoke dampers, and the total refrigerant piping length. Please base the take-off on the latest drawing revisions (PDF and CAD will be supplied) and present the results in an editable Excel sheet. Use clear labelling that matches the drawing tags so I can plug the numbers straight into our estimating model. To help me choose quickly, include examples of past projects where you produced similar commercial HVAC take-offs. Speed is important, but accuracy is critical—I am working against a tight tender deadline and will be double-checking quantities. Deliverables (ASAP): • Excel file with separ...
I am seeking a qualified Quantity Surveyor who can also act as a Project Manager for a commercial fit-out project in Dublin. The role requires on-site presence for approximately 14 weeks to oversee and manage all aspects of the fit-out process. Candidates must be experienced in handling similar projects and capable of delivering high-quality results within the specified timeframe.
I’m starting a full office fit-out on a 6,000 sq ft floor in Dublin and need a hands-on quantity surveyor who can also steer the project day-to-day on site. From the outset you’ll take charge of cost estimation and budgeting so we can lock in a realistic financial plan, then move straight into procurement and tendering to secure the right trades and suppliers at the best value. Once contracts are in place, you will keep everything on track through tight contract administration and management, working closely with me, the architect and the main contractor. Because the space is larger than 5,000 sq ft, I’m looking for someone comfortable controlling multiple workstreams simultaneously—services, partitions, finishes and furniture—while remaining a single point o...
I’m looking for a Quantity Surveyor who can also step into a hands-on Project Manager role for a live commercial retrofit here in Dublin. The building is already standing; we’re stripping out and re-configuring internal spaces while the tenant stays operational, so tight coordination is critical. Your core focus will be managing all subcontractors and suppliers on site—everything from agreeing scopes and rates to tracking daily progress, safety compliance and quality sign-off. I’ll handle overall finance approvals, but you’ll keep the cost and programme trackers updated, flag variances early and secure any change-order sign-offs with the client rep. Because this is an occupied retrofit we need someone who can be physically present in Dublin for regular walk-...
I’m mobilising a commercial fit-out in Dublin that covers the full package—mechanical, electrical and all finishes—and I need an experienced quantity surveyor on the ground during the construction phase. Your remit is threefold: keep tight control of project costs, track and report progress against programme, and handle day-to-day contract administration with the main contractor and specialist trades. Our detailed designs are still in development, so I’ll rely on you to interrogate evolving drawings, flag cost risks early and feed real-time budget data back into the design process. Expect regular site walks, valuation meetings and liaison with both my project manager and the architect to make sure every change is captured before it hits site. Key deliverables ...
I have an upcoming infrastructure project and need a precise material-based quantity takeoff so I can lock in vendors early. The scope covers every major discipline on the drawings—concrete and steel for the super- and sub-structure, all earthwork and aggregate requirements, plus piping and electrical runs. You will work from the issued IFC drawings (PDF/DWG) and provide a clearly organised Bill of Quantities. Spreadsheets should be set up so each item can flow straight into my cost model: separate tabs or sections for structural concrete, reinforcement, formwork, backfill, sub-base, ducts, cable trays, conduits and ancillary fittings. Wherever possible, reference the sheet number, gridline and detail so I can cross-check quickly. Deliverables • Editable Excel (or Google Sheet...
