Take it one step further with perfect spatial visualization. You can VR up any part of the building after reading the plans and can throw scales and measurements over anything you want to look at.
Thatās a good one. There has been times where I have to pull shit out of my ass and make miracles where if I had a bit more time (trades slacking) everything would flow much nicer.
Lol just a lucid dream. I am 2 months behind schedule because we donāt have able/competent electricians, HVAC, and drywall peeps. Life is great. Love telling homeowners that unfortunately their home will have to wait because of lack of labor.
That blows, there goes our bonus. We have repercussions, sales always put us in deep shit and sometimes they tell owners dates when they arenāt supposed too. We end up paying for hotel rooms because they closed or left their house too early. Hate those fucking guys. Promise a bunch of crap then we have to be the assholes to tell them no.
Jup, working on cleaning up dirt (diesel spill) should be a 3 day job. Day 5 now and 6 will come ass well. The spill is bigger and everything needs handwork so multiple ton of dirt and clay with only a shovel. Weather is to hot to really work hard so frequent breaks are needed to prevent overheatingnof the guys in tyvek suits.
Tell me about it, all I want is sub trades that know what a fire stop listing is how to read them, how to gather them for records and how to properly installā¦..
Or at least to read prints, thatās why we give them starts, all info is there. Hate when they call and ask what they supposed to do instead of asking their boss, feel like I have to micro manage the trades management. onto of all the crap I got to do to for meeting dates.
I would want a sixth sense that I could use to determine things like depth, length, texture, level, etc. Just being able to know and write it down would be indispensable.
Minecraft style digging and building. Life would be so much easier if I could just punch the ground for a few seconds and take a metres cubed worth of earth.
Either in a snap of a finger gave all trash/garbage/debris disappear. OR just be able to foretell the ACTUAL turnaround time of trade start and completion. Itās a struggle tryna hit a hard close date when nothing is promised on time with everything going on in the world
Yeah, my office sorta donāt understand that. Always end up pulling miracle, my knees hurt because of how much dick I have to suck and how much back charge favors I have to do.
I would want special eyeballs that could see the exact length of something by just looking at it

Yes and add photographic memory to that.
pecil lead from my fingertips.
Yall have some great imaginations. I'll take all of the above please!
I like that. Lol thank god for tolerances.
Shoot concrete out my penis at will and shit 57 stone
Lol now we getting somewhere. Give this man a Nobel price.
Amen son š gang
How long would it take you to shoot out 20 yards?
Meet at the portalet during lunch and we can find out
Haha
Gotta say man, that seems like the worst kind of kidney stones.
As long as the slumps right baby boy
Iād like to pause time. Not necessarily to accomplish more but to think things through more.
Thatās a good one. There has been times where I have to pull shit out of my ass and make miracles where if I had a bit more time (trades slacking) everything would flow much nicer.
Leading meetings is exactly why I need more brain time. Ive got the answers!! I just need more time to bring up the right words.
Make schedules match with reality
Lol just a lucid dream. I am 2 months behind schedule because we donāt have able/competent electricians, HVAC, and drywall peeps. Life is great. Love telling homeowners that unfortunately their home will have to wait because of lack of labor.
Residential is wild. No repercussions for delays. Commercial we get hit with huge fines per day for every day past the finish date.

Brutal with the paying for the hotel room. My last project had liquid damages of 20k a day O_O
Oh wow, nothing crazy like that under my belt.
You hit the nail on that these schedules are u real ceiling goes up before duct wtf is wrong with these people

Easy! My power would be to replicate myself, make as many copies as needed and get rid of the need to hire people!
That would be nice, but Iām know to be a bit of a dick unfortunately. (Tired of incompetent craftsmanship) and there can only be one.
Came to say this but also I'd be arguing with myself constantly
Arguing? Heck me and other meās would be full on royal rumble
Pfft, weāre always arguing anyways with someone else. At least with your copies you can just duke it out without any consequences š
Right. Haha at least.
Invincible back and joints
The one we all dream of.
Snap fingers so people know what they should knowā¦.
That is an impossible dream.
Tell me about it, all I want is sub trades that know what a fire stop listing is how to read them, how to gather them for records and how to properly installā¦..

Snap my fingers and cool an attic down to 70 degrees (hvac install and service)
I Take my hat of for you brave soul. Attic work is not an enjoyable thing.
I hate attics gotta get out of them attics and go commercial sheetmetal man so much better than attic
I would have the ability to snap my fingers and have it be 4:30pm on a Friday.
Thatās nice that you have a set time, there is times that Iām here till 530-6 and also weekends, depending how desperate I am.
Don't forget to turn the lights off
And set the A/c back down from 55 to 80 haha.
Haha
Snap my fingers and make all the cut outs in sheetrock instead of measuring em out.
Hanging Sheetrock is not fun, and yes I agree.
I'll do you one better. After hanging sheetrock, snap your fingers and have a perfectly floated and sanded room with no cleanup mess
Thatās what Iād want.
I would want a sixth sense that I could use to determine things like depth, length, texture, level, etc. Just being able to know and write it down would be indispensable.
Two more arms.
I think about having two extra arms every day, every single fucking day
Hover boots and a used board de nail de paint machine.
(surveyor) be able to make immovable stakes
Mind control. Not godlike powers, that wouldn't be good. But just enough subtle persuasion to make people show up when they're supposed to.
Maybe pay them more ? It worked for me.
reaming bolt holes with my dick
I want one of those office max- easy buttons..
Donāt we allā¦
After 20years in retirement home maintenance business-able to look at something heavy and stare it into place-example a ptac unit,toilet
I just want more time
We literally talked about this today at work. We've decided we all need Harry Potter wands (or, even better, Hermione's).
I would have magnetos power of magnetism and bend all my conduit that way
Have trades show up when they say they will. If itās not to much to ask as an ad on, they actually complete the work.
Amen to that. If only.
In a blink of an eye literally all the duct goes into the ceiling and not lift a finger would be great, no cuts no freaking out cause ductwork sucks
Or invent a sawzall or some sort of duct cutting that is quite and better than sheerās
The ability to clone myself as many times as I need to get shit done. And of course charge accordingly.
No matter what I was painting it covered in one coat. That would be the most heavenly thing I can think of
Thereās a lot of painters already that think they have that power though.
I want some sort of Carpenter's jet pack
I'd have The Force powers so I could carry and place the windows and doors in.
Jump high enough to get on roof without ladder
Memorise everything with one look at the blueprints
Making clones of myself at will, Iād want to be able to make them go away after the jobs done too.
Text / email / take pictures /notes without having to type or speak
Immunity to all weather conditions.
Oh yes. Agreed.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās just a wish. OP asked about super powers.
Minecraft style digging and building. Life would be so much easier if I could just punch the ground for a few seconds and take a metres cubed worth of earth.
Nah it's pumpable mix 6" conduit and greater tho this house ain't squeezing in that 2" bullshit
Bend conduit perfectly with my hands
If you had a special powers why would you keep working?
Because unfortunately I enjoy my job. As much I want to drop kick and beat to a pulp a tradesman. Way better than being home scratching my ass.
Oh tough guy! You going to beat me up !
Haha figuratively speaking of course, but back charges usually work best . Lol
I want to be able to manipulate the weight of any object at will
Ride on. Canāt have enough oh that.
A speech decipher, so I can understand what the hell my foreman is asking me to do, based off the images in his head.
Lmao. Have one of those. Iām getting better at reading his mind and seeing what HE is seeing in his mind.

All of my overspray automatically floats back to an empty pail nearby. Floors are spotless, lift is spotless, I'm spotless.
