Automating construction office processes

Less Paperwork, Fewer Gaps

In a building business, a lot of office time goes on moving information between systems and chasing people: purchase orders and variations waiting for approval, supplier invoices matched to jobs by hand, progress claims built from spreadsheets, subcontractor insurance certificates expiring unnoticed, and timesheets retyped into payroll.

We automate those steps around the software you already use, such as your job or estimating system, Xero or MYOB, and payroll, so information is entered once and flows to where it's needed. Where a step needs reading or judgement, like pulling the details out of a supplier invoice, we use AI for that step with a person approving the result.

Built and supported by Kenomont: founder-led, Gold Coast based, with 20+ years building business systems, including a purchase order approval system in daily use since 2014 and real-time weighbridge integration since 2015.

Where the Office Time Goes

If several of these sound familiar, they are usually the best places to start.

Purchase orders and variations wait in someone's inbox for approval
Supplier invoices are matched to jobs and keyed into Xero or MYOB by hand
Progress claims are put together from spreadsheets each month
Subcontractor insurance and licences are tracked in a spreadsheet, or not at all
Timesheets are retyped into payroll and job costing
Retentions owed are tracked separately and easy to forget
Site paperwork comes back on paper or in photos and is typed up later
The same job details are entered into several systems

Ways to Automate It

Use what your systems already do first; build only what is missing.

Switch on what you already have

Job management systems and Xero or MYOB include approvals, bank rules, bill capture and built-in connections that many businesses don't use. We check these first.

Add a proven app

For common jobs such as bill capture or approvals, an established app connected to Xero or MYOB is often the cheapest answer. We'll say when that is enough.

Connect the job system and the accounts

Purchase orders, bills, claims and timesheets move between the job system and Xero or MYOB, coded to the right job, with an alert when something doesn't match. Learn more

Approvals and AI where they help

POs and variations go straight to the right person for approval, and AI reads supplier invoices and paperwork, with a person checking the result. Learn more

How We Approach It

One process at a time, so you see results quickly.

Pick the process that costs the most time

Usually supplier invoices, approvals or progress claims. We sit with the people who do it.

Map it as it really works

We include the workarounds, so nothing important is lost when it's automated.

Simplify, then automate

Cut the steps that add nothing, agree one way of working, then automate what's left around your existing systems.

Run it alongside the old way

Your team checks the results before relying on it.

Move to the next process

Once the first one is working, the next goes faster.

Construction Automation FAQs

The ones with the most retyping and chasing: supplier invoices, purchase order and variation approvals, progress claims, subcontractor compliance paperwork and timesheets to payroll.

Usually not. Most automation works around the systems you already have. We'll tell you if your current system genuinely can't do what you need.

Yes, for specific steps: reading supplier invoices and paperwork, drafting job notes and customer emails, and summarising job information. A person approves anything that matters.

It depends on the process and how many systems are involved. Starting with one process gives you a working result quickly. You get a timeline with the fixed quote.
