Oh ok,

James, contracting in the UK is different from the US. We aren't builders (US contractor?) and most of us wouldn't know a studded partition if it fell on us.

He probably picked up on one of Sasguru's posts telling us that our route to millions was renovating a two-up two-down terrace in London.

Hey guys,

I work in contracting across the pond and I was wondering what are some Apps you guys use when it comes to construction? I'm sure most of us have heard of PlanGrid (which I think is the best) but up until last week when a friend told me about it I knew nothing of ConstructionHelper. The total surface calculations really help. Lastly, a co-worker put me on to Joist. This one essentially eliminated the use of pen and paper when making estimates and invoices, everything was done via the website or the app.

What are some apps or websites you use to make your life easier?

Favourite app: The one that produces invoices.

Favourite web page: right at the moment the one with the ban button.

Like PCG, but CBA fighting IR35?

What makes you think that IPSE won't fight IR35 any more?

And be reassured, opting out of FlightSim does not require a parachute.

Contractors only use Golden Parachutes

...

ignore them James. they are philistines, the lot of them.

A good app for construction is simcity, or even civ v. although the unit density in civ v is a bit wonky, at least its now multi user.
an app for dealing with ISIS might be spec ops III
and if you want to fly a plane, try flight sim 5
if you need any help with your contract arrangements, Frank big bird, one of our most valued posters may be able to help

Bloody Germans have got the jump on the PCG lot and I bet they are more efficient too? They wouldn't have chickened out on lobbying against IR35 with Frau Merkel, and changed their name using our money Spunked up against London Wall either...

I'm not very good at finding my way round there.

Does this help?

[mudskipper]

Probably not, but this thread has been mentioned in the IPSE forums

As there seems to be a little confusion over what to call IT contractors in this country James, whilst your here, what are professional computer nerds in the US called?

Good question.

"IT Nerds"
"Engineers"
simple "IT"
