AI Automation for Construction & Trades
Deploy AI assistants trained on your own documents, SOPs, and pricing — answering staff questions and reducing manual knowledge work.
Why construction & trades businesses choose this
AI Automation built for construction & trades
Construction and trade businesses run on tight margins where every wasted hour on quoting, compliance paperwork, and job tracking eats into profit. Site teams juggle SWMS sign-offs, variation approvals, and subcontractor coordination across email, paper, and WhatsApp. Automating these workflows on Microsoft 365 keeps projects moving without adding headcount.
Cut quoting and job approval turnaround from days to hours
Eliminate manual SWMS and induction tracking across all sites
Get real-time job cost visibility instead of end-of-project surprises
How it works
What we actually build and deliver
We index your existing documents — SOPs, pricing files, policies, email templates — into a secure knowledge base inside your Microsoft 365 tenant. Then we deploy an AI assistant (via Teams, SharePoint, or a custom interface) that your team can ask questions in plain English. The assistant reads your documents, finds the relevant answer, and cites the source. No data leaves your environment. We handle the prompt engineering, testing, and deployment. Your team gets a working tool, not a prototype.
The problem
What is slowing construction & trades businesses down
Jobs quoted and lost in email threads
Quoting, approvals, and job updates get buried in inboxes. By the time someone follows up, the client has gone elsewhere.
Site compliance buried in paperwork
SWMS, inductions, toolbox talks, and incident reports pile up in binders. Tracking who has signed what is a constant headache.
No visibility on job costs until it is too late
Material costs, labour hours, and variations get tracked in separate spreadsheets. You only know a job went over budget after it is done.

FAQ
Common questions
What documents can the AI read?
PDFs, Word documents, Excel files, SharePoint pages, and email templates. We can also connect to data in Lists or CRM systems via API.
How accurate are the answers?
The AI cites sources for every answer, so your team can verify. We tune the prompts during setup to minimise hallucination and test against real scenarios before launch.
Can we control what the AI can and cannot answer?
Yes. We configure topic boundaries and response guardrails during setup. You can update these at any time via an admin panel.
Can field workers use this on their phones on site?
Yes. Power Apps is mobile-first and works offline. Data syncs when connectivity is restored.
Can this connect to our estimating or accounting software?
Power Automate connects to Xero, MYOB, Simpro, Procore, and most tools with an API or email-based output.
We're not a big company. Is this too complex for us?
Most of our clients are 5–50 person operations. We scope only what you will actually use and deliver it in 2–4 weeks.
