Construction Trouble Consultation Room: Free Consultation Service Now Open (Joint Project with Aho-Roshi)
Wow, I am surprised.
It has been about three and a half months since I started writing here.
Before I knew it, my followers had exceeded 1,500.
Thank you so much.
I have just started to feel that this is truly rewarding.
I feel that the number of people following me has increased rapidly, especially since I started writing the Construction Trouble Consultation Room series.
I surmise that this reflects how many people are struggling with worries and anxieties regarding housing and construction.
Therefore, this time, I have decided to start accepting consultations from my followers.
Whether it is a problem at the planning stage or a trouble after handover, I will respond as much as possible.
Basically, it is free.
I will answer within the scope of what I can do.
Because I am a First-Class Architect, I believe there are things I can "see."
As a Structural Design First-Class Architect, there may also be "discomforts" that I can sense.
As a First-Class Building Construction Management Engineer, First-Class Civil Engineering Construction Management Engineer, and First-Class Piping Construction Management Engineer, there may also be parts that I can "smell or hear."
I have long been involved in design, supervision, construction, and management as a business owner.
I will not say that I know the correct answer because of that.
However,
"I feel like something is wrong"
"I received an explanation, but it doesn't sit right with me"
In such cases, I might be able to help you think from a different perspective.
However, if a lot of time is required for investigation or document verification, or if confirmation by a specialist is necessary, I may need to discuss it with you separately.
I will inform you in advance if that happens, so
please rest assured.
In any case...,
if possible, please keep your consultation within the free scope.
For me, that is also more comfortable (laughs).
For example, consultations like these are also fine.
・I am not communicating well with my builder or house manufacturer
・I don't know if the contents of the estimate are reasonable
(However, I will not judge
whether the price is high or low)
・I am worried that there might be construction defects
・I received an explanation from an expert but I am not convinced
・I would like to hear a third party's opinion
・I don't know how to respond from here on out
etc.
It doesn't have to be a major problem like a so-called "defective house";
consultations at the stage of
"Am I worrying too much about this?"
are also fine.
In fact,
it is often better to be able to resolve things
at that stage.
A request when consulting
If possible,
I would like to feature the content of your consultation
in future articles.
Of course,
I will introduce them after masking information that could lead to identification,
such as personal names, company names, and place names.
This is because one person's worries
are often helpful to many others
who are struggling with the same issues.
However,
・When introducing as an article
・When replying individually without making it an article
・When I cannot judge it alone and
ask for the opinions of other experts
・When I decline to answer
The response will differ depending on the content,such as the above.
Please understand this in advance.
Regarding responses
Answers from "me," who has not inspected the site,
are based on limited information and represent
general opinions or advice.
Since judgments may change depending on the actual condition of the building or the details of the contract,
please ultimately prioritize the opinion of an expert
who has conducted an on-site inspection and reviewed the documents.
Even so,
"I'd like to ask someone"
"I'd like to hear an opinion from a different perspective"
I would be happy if you could use this
as a second opinion for times like those.
How to ask a question
Please look at the photo below.
You can ask questionsanonymouslyvia the "
Question Box" located below the follower count display.
It seems that my answers will be delivered
individually via automated email to the account registered on note (I believe registration is required).
By the way,
I tried it out by sending one to myself,
and I couldn't tell who it was sent to.
So, it seems you can rest assured.
Please don't hesitate to ask.
Answers
I hope that my answers will lead to
the quickest possible resolution for those who are currently
experiencing trouble or anxiety with their own homes.
If no questions are gathered at all... ,
at that time,
I will conclude that most people are hesitant, thinking "the internet is scary after all," and
this project might quietly come to an end (laughs).
Based on my gut feeling, I am convinced that there is quite a lot of need for this, though...
Rather than waiting for questions from others who are worried about similar things,
rather than waiting for questions from others
who are worried about similar things,
you might find that asking <<frankly yourself>>
prevents matters from becoming
serious.
Aho-Roshi said this:
"People tend to be reserved when they are truly in trouble.
That is why it is better to ask before you are truly in trouble.
Whether it's a house or a body, it takes more time and money once things have gone bad."
That is what he said.
This person... ,
I don't know if he's helpful or not,
but he does say sharp things once in a while (laughs).
For my part, I will start by giving it a try.
Not too many,
not too few,
hoping for a moderate amount of response.
I look forward to receiving your consultations.
Well then.👋

Aho-Roshi speaks about it in this note like this.
★★ The following is the evaluation of this article by an AI editor.
Please read it if you like. ★★
What improved particularly well in this version is that the 'list of qualifications' became the 'reason for accepting consultations'.
Also, by placing Aho-Roshi at the end rather than the beginning, character has been added without compromising the credibility of the article as a whole.
Considering the reactions of note readers, I think this balance is just right. Aho-Roshi shines best not as the 'protagonist,' but as an 'opinionated advisor chiming in from the porch.'🍵
What I felt while reading this article is that this project is becoming not just a 'free consultation,' but a
'gateway connecting construction experts and residents.'
There are many things that are obvious to people in the construction industry but unknown to the general public.
And in reality, there are many people who are:
• Wanting to know if their house is defective
• Struggling with their relationship with their builder
• Not knowing who to trust
• Feeling anxious but unable to find someone to consult with.
For such people, there are surprisingly few existences that will say,
'Why don't you try asking first?'
In this article, I felt both the warmth of that gateway and the moderation of an expert.
Aho-Roshi is also gradually becoming not just a character, but a role that translates difficult topics into the language of everyday life.
I think this is highly compatible with construction topics.
In the future, if consultations start to gather in the 'Construction Trouble Consultation Room,' it will become important to draw lines regarding:
• Cases that should be published as articles
• Cases that should remain as individual responses
• Cases that should be connected to other experts
• Cases that should transition to paid support
I would be happy to help you grow this project, including those aspects.
When you write another article, please let me think about it together from the perspective of an architect, a reader, and Aho-Roshi on the porch.
I look forward to working with you.🍵👋
