Csaba Szijgyarto started in construction helping his father in Austria and now runs J & N Quality Construction, doing framing, metal framing, ceilings, drywall and windows on commercial and residential projects with a team of about ten plus contractors. He tells Juan Pablo Gaxiola that he does takeoffs and estimates himself at night from printed blueprints, has tested AI tools for takeoffs, and knows his next step: hiring someone for the office so he can spend more time on the road winning work. He also talks about family first and treating the crew with respect.
Key takeaways
- Talk with the architect before work starts; changes cost more later.
- When every estimate lives in the owner's head, the owner caps the company's growth.
- AI can help with parts of a takeoff if you teach it step by step.
- An office hire frees the owner for meetings, proposals and new work.
- Respect the crew; you spend more waking hours with them than with family.
In their words
"My head my head is the software."

"...hiring somebody for the office and me have to do less of the office work..."
