What I Build
The Kind of Thing I Build
Back-office automation for trades and construction companies. Nothing here touches your marketing — this is all internal admin.
Compliance & Certificate Tracking
Certificates of insurance, WCB clearance letters, safety certifications, license and ticket expiries for staff and subs. Reminders go out before things lapse — not after a GC asks for paperwork you don't have.
Apprentice Hour Tracking
Apprentice hours logged as they happen, and the paperwork around them filled in from what's already recorded instead of reconstructed at the deadline.
Rebate & Program Paperwork
Efficiency Manitoba and similar programs. The forms get filled from job data you already have instead of someone chasing numbers at the end of the project.
Maintenance & Service Agreement Renewals
What's due, when it lapses, and reminders before it does — so renewals get invoiced instead of forgotten.
Supplier Invoice Handling
Invoice details pulled into your job costing instead of keyed in by hand, line by line.
Warranty & Callback Tracking
What was installed, when, and when coverage ends. A callback becomes one lookup instead of an afternoon of digging.
Progress Billing & Holdback Tracking
On commercial work: what's been billed, what's held back, and what's releasable when. Tracked automatically instead of in someone's head.
Inbound Quote & Enquiry Handling
Automatic replies that collect the information you need to quote, and flag the urgent ones. You still do the quoting — the back-and-forth to get the details is what goes away.
Recurring Reports
Any report or spreadsheet someone assembles by hand every week. If it's built from data you already have, it can build itself.
This isn't a fixed menu. If someone in your office does something repetitive every week, it can probably be automated. The audit is how we find out.
My Approach
I Don't Guess. I Come and See.
I'm in Winnipeg and I show up in person. Before I build anything, I watch how the work actually gets done — the calls, the paperwork, the back-and-forth. That's where the real time goes.
Then I prioritize. Not every automation is worth building. I'll tell you which ones are, and which ones aren't.
