3-5 workflows audited
Payroll, dailies, change orders, intake, AP. Whichever ones are bleeding. Real walkthroughs with your team, not a survey.
AI automation for SMB construction.
Most small businesses are running back-office workflows AI could just delete. Payroll, dailies, intake, AP. I spent a year inside a $7M glazing sub doing exactly that. Now I run one-week audits for other SMBs across construction, restaurants, IT, and web.

01The Audit
$3,500. One week. You get a roadmap and a quick win.
Before you spend real money on an automation build, you need to know exactly where your hours go and which workflows are worth touching first. That’s what the audit is.
ROI-ranked roadmap
Hours saved, build difficulty, risk. Ranked. You see the order of attack before signing anything bigger.
1 quick win shipped
End of week one, at least one workflow is already saving hours. Proves the pattern before you commit to a build.
02Not for everyone
Who this isn’t for.
Three groups I won’t chase. If you’re any of these, we’ll both save a call.
GCs over $50M revenue
different sale cycle, IT department, procurement
Construction tech vendors (Procore, Buildertrend)
they have their own AI roadmaps
Pure design firms with no field ops
no recurring data drudgery to automate
03FAQ
Common pushback.
We're too small for AI.
That's exactly the point. Small ops teams have the most hours per person to reclaim. The audit tells us where.
We tried Zapier and it broke.
Zapier breaks when the workflow needs judgment. The new tools (Claude, GPT) handle judgment. Different category.
What if the AI is wrong?
Every output gets human sign-off in v1. Once we trust a workflow's accuracy we relax that. Same pattern as hiring a new admin.
How long until we see value?
Audit week 1 ends with a quick win already implemented. You'll see one workflow saving hours before you commit to a build.
04About
Braden Freeman.
I’ve been the ops person, not a vendor with a deck. I know what dies on Friday afternoon when a foreman forgets a timesheet, and I know what it costs you when the GC kicks back a daily report three weeks running.
Technical depth predates the construction year. React, Next.js, Supabase, Python. AI tooling fluent. Built the automation stack inside a real $7M sub. Not learning on your dime.
Work alone, fast. No agency overhead. Small client, small contract. Get a quick win, decide if you want more.
