Automation for companies that build Portland, OR

Paperwork is costing you bids.

Every hour your best people spend re-typing data is an hour they’re not protecting your margin. Change orders, submittals, spec lookups, purchase orders keyed twice — I automate it underneath the tools you already run. No new platform.

PMs, buyers, quality leads, and estimators get their week back. You bid tighter and win more work.

01 / The Reality

You’re paying skilled people to do data entry.

Procore, Bluebeam, Tekla, CMiC, BQE — you’re paying for the tools. But they don’t talk to each other. So every change order, submittal, PO, and schedule change gets re-typed and cross-checked by hand. On the jobsite, in the fab shop, in the estimating office.

01

That gap isn’t a tech problem. It’s a margin leak happening right now, on every project.

02

The people closest to your margin burn five, six, seven hours a week on work no software was ever built for: the space between the tools. That’s overhead your P&L was never designed to carry.

Every hour your PMs aren’t managing margin is a bid you’re leaving on the table.

03 / What I Built

An invisible layer that connects the tools you already own.

Your stack works. The gap between your stack is what costs you margin. I build the bridge — no new platform, no training, nothing for your team to learn. It shows up wherever paperwork outpaces process: jobsite trailers and fabrication shops.

Change orders

Logged in 60 seconds, approved with one click.

Submittals

Packaged, routed, and sent without a PM touching it.

Your PMs manage projects. The bridge handles the gaps.

04 / How It Works

Three steps. In days.

01

Map the workflow

I sit with your team and trace exactly how information moves through your projects and your shop: where it came from, where it needs to go, and where it’s getting stuck.

02

Close the gaps

A custom layer between your software, documents, and email. Your tools don’t change. What your team sees doesn’t change. The busywork just stops arriving.

03

Run it

This isn’t deployed and forgotten. I operate the system, monitor for edge cases, and handle exceptions. You get the hours back. I own the process.

05 / Proof

Measured results.

“How in the hell can I eliminate some keyboard strokes?”

A VP of Operations asked me this

On a $140M multifamily project, I cut document processing time by 70+ percent, verified against the client’s baseline.

06 / Who This Is For

Not for everyone. That’s intentional.

I’m most useful when

Your team has people who are good at their jobs but buried in busywork.

You have a growing sense that your software costs more in labor than it saves.

Your best people — PMs, buyers, detailers, quality leads — are doing data entry.

I’m less useful if

You’re a small operation and admin overhead isn’t a margin problem yet.

You’ve already automated your main workflows.

Your PMs find manual data entry therapeutic.

You don’t need to know exactly where the gaps are. That’s what our first conversation is for.

You’ve been sold “transformation” before. I sell something specific: fewer hours on busywork. One workflow at a time.

07 / One Last Thing

I know you got burned.

Between 2018 and 2022, a hundred startups promised to transform your industry. Most failed. Some took your money and disappeared.

I’m not a startup. I’m not venture-backed. I’m not selling you another AI platform to learn and maintain.

I’m selling the opposite: specific, measurable, done-in-days relief from the workflows that are eating away at your margins.

And if I don’t deliver the hours I scoped, you don’t pay. Period.

— Connor Goulding

20-minute call. I ask where your hours go. If I can fix the bottleneck, I’ll tell you how. If I can’t, I’ll tell you that too.
