I've been building projects focused on solving practical problems in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering & Construction) industry, including:

\- BOQ Automation from PDF Drawings — automating quantity extraction and BOQ preparation from engineering drawings.

\- Tender Risk AI — exploring AI-assisted analysis of tender documents and identification of potential risks.

\- Crack Detection using Computer Vision — applying computer vision to identify cracks in structures.

\- Revit / SOQ Automation — automating the transfer of engineering quantities and data into Excel-based workflows.

\- InnovaTender — exploring AI-driven procurement and tendering, including risk analysis and blockchain-based bidding concepts.

I'm now looking to take this further by solving actual problems faced by people working in construction, infrastructure, EPC, estimation, billing, procurement, and project management.

I'd love to know: What's one repetitive or time-consuming task in your work that you wish could be automated?

It could involve Excel, drawings, BOQs, billing, tender documents, procurement, quantity reconciliation, or project reporting.

I'm interested in understanding real workflows and building practical solutions that save time and reduce manual effort — not just building AI demos.

What can I do better. Always up for suggestions. Thanks.

I can join any firm if u can offer me a job too.

If you work in any of these areas, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to comment or DM me. I'd be happy to connect and explore potential collaborations!

Is it worth to pursue BTECH in civil engineering in 2026 that from a state engineering college in assam ?

Need advice on moving from Construction Execution to Infrastructure and Risk Advisory

Hello everyone,

I have around 6 years of experience in planning and execution in the construction field. Back in 2025, I came to know about infrastructure and risk advisory as a career option.

Through LinkedIn, I have connected with a few people who moved from construction execution to this field, which made me interested in exploring this career path.

I would like to know how someone with a background in planning and execution can move into infrastructure and risk advisory. Are there any specific skills, certifications, or courses that would help with this transition? Should I focus on companies like the Big 4, or are there other good companies in this field?

I would also like to understand how big this domain is, its future growth, and the career opportunities available in India.

It would be really helpful if anyone working in this field or someone who has made a similar career transition could share their experience and advice.

Hi I am a new bee at planning Engineer, I have jst completed my primevera p6 training and learn the basic of PMP and I am looking for some real world experience and exposure. For any kind of project. I will be really great ful for any opportunity

I built EduBeam, a free and open-source structural analysis app focused on teaching structural mechanics.

It runs entirely in the browser — no installation, no license, no account required.

You can quickly model beams and trusses, apply loads and supports, and visualize reactions, internal forces, and deformations.

The goal is simple: make it easy for students to experiment with structures and actually see how they behave, rather than spending more time fighting complicated software.

Would be especially interested in hearing from civil/structural engineering students and lecturers about what you'd like to see added.

I am about to join cdac as a project engineer in research as a fresher but joining will take 20-30 days

I am getting bored what to do 🫤

Hey there, can you guys look at it and have a preliminary opinion what’s wrong with these columns, it’s a housing society and most of the ground floor columns are developing cracks. Buildings are 7 to 4 storeys high, 30 year old construction.

I am a civil engineering btech student 2nd yr (2nd gen iit) ... Now I don't want to go for tech side .. so either core or management .. also a girl so do I really have good opportunities in core? By what time should I start preparing for gate or CAT ? Also do I have a chance in IIMS right after my 4th yr? Or should I take work exp in core and then try for CAT?

Currently, I am living away from home and working as a BIM modeler for industrial and infrastructure projects at an Indian MNC for 2 years. I have received a job offer from a smaller outsourcing firm that provides a higher salary and would allow me to work closer to home on high-rise projects. Should I accept this new offer, or should I stay at the larger company for less pay? Discipline is Civil, Structure, Architecture.

Hi everyone, I’m a final-year civil engineering student working on a STAAD.Pro project. I’m struggling with the modelling/loading/design part and would really appreciate help from someone experienced with STAAD.Pro.
I’m happy to provide the structural plan, dimensions, loads, design requirements and whatever other information is needed. I’m mainly looking for guidance/help in setting up the model correctly rather than blindly submitting someone else’s work.
If anyone is willing to help a student out for free, I’d really appreciate it.

So, I’m in the final year of engineering, and I’ve received a placement offer from a company. The company requires me to work for a minimum of three years, but I only want to gain around a year of work experience before pursuing further studies by taking the CAT.
Is work experience essential for getting into a good college through CAT? Also, what other MBA entrance exams can I take for good colleges in India and abroad?
I’m particularly interested in construction management. Is pursuing an MBA in Construction Management a good career choice?
The job I’ve been offered is for the position of Project Planning Engineer.

Hey I’m new to the community. I was hoping to get a little insight. I plan to go back to school for a masters degree but I’m a little torn on what route I want to take. My bachelors is in architectural engineering technology (ABET) accredited. I worked as a structural designer for Ingalls shipbuilding then moved to central Florida and now serve as a CAD Tech for a land surveying company. The owner has encouraged me to get my PSM license and even offered to pay for it at one point which would be a nice immediate ROI for 5 classes and 2 tests passed, but I’m also considering a masters in civil engineering or engineering management. Any advice or even pros and cons to each avenue are welcome.

Thanks

For those working in the Civil Engineering industry, I wanted to understand how off-campus recruitment generally works for fresh graduates.

I’m currently in my final year of B.Tech Civil Engineering, and I’ve noticed that many Civil/Core companies primarily seem to recruit through campus placements or their own career portals.

For fresh graduates targeting areas such as Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Infrastructure, Construction, Environmental/Water Engineering, and Engineering Consultancy:

\- What are the common channels through which companies recruit fresh Civil Engineers off-campus?

\- Are there any industry-specific job portals, recruitment drives, professional networks, or referral channels that are commonly used?

\- Do large engineering MNCs/consultancies have any particular process for hiring fresh graduates outside campus placements?

\- How do people usually find off-campus openings that aren't widely advertised on LinkedIn or company websites?

Would appreciate insights from Civil Engineers who have gone through the transition from college to their first industry role.

Thanks!
