Practical AI support for civil contractors, engineers and construction businesses. Build team confidence, cut repeat admin and connect the work from first enquiry to final invoice.
Learn what AI can do, use it on a real task and build the confidence to keep going. Practical onboarding comes first. Automation and custom development follow where they make sense.
01UNDERSTAND & LEARN
Get your team started.
Find useful applications in the work you already do. Learn how to ask better questions, give clear instructions and check the result.
Suitable tools and account setup
Practical training using your tasks
Clear rules for business information
02APPLY & IMPROVE
Make one task easier.
Work through a real email, drawing, quote or site record. Build a reusable workflow and compare it with your current process.
Templates, prompts and review steps
Time, quality and cost checks
Connections to supported systems
03BUILD & TAKE OWNERSHIP
Keep the capability in-house.
Add an app, automation or custom system when it solves a clear problem. Give your team the access and understanding to use it.
Tools built and tested with your team
Editable workflows and instructions
Agreed maintenance and support
Considering a major software build? Before committing to a $100,000 project, test whether a focused in-house build can solve the first problem.
Scope, software and support costs agreed upfront.
Cost depends on scope, complexity and integrations. A full business suite needs staged delivery and testing; the first build helps establish the right path.
02 / APPS, AUTOMATION & CONNECTED SYSTEMS
Put AI to work. Across the whole business.
Start with a task, a bottleneck or an idea you have never had time to build. We can improve a workflow or create a practical tool around the way your team works.
01 / APPS FOR THE FIELD
From site record to useful output.
Phone apps for soil logs, inspections, photos and daily records. Capture information on site, then produce the PDF or office record from the same data.
1Forms built around the task
2Photos, samples and review steps
3PDF outputs and project records
02 / EVERYDAY AUTOMATION
Less copying. More connected.
Put email, receipts and business records to work. Extract the useful details, match the job and pass checked information to the systems your team uses.
1Capture documents by phone or email
2Match records and flag exceptions
3Connect supported company systems
03 / CUSTOM BUSINESS SYSTEMS
Your process. Your platform.
Build a customised suite around the way you work: CRM, estimating, quotes, jobs, stock, POs, receipts, invoicing and client access.
1Link customers, quotes and job records
2Connect stock, POs, receipts and delivery
3Reconcile invoices and payment status
DRAWING PRODUCTION & REVIEW
Better drawings. Less manual work.
Learn how to prepare and improve detailed drawing drafts, update repeated details and annotations, and compare revisions faster. Turn checked design methods into tools your team can use.
Built around your CAD tools, with dimensional checks and engineering review before issue.
FROM DRAWINGS & DOCUMENTS TO CONNECTED RECORDS Illustrative workflow
Examples to scope around your process. Engineering checks, approval steps and existing accounting records are built into the plan.
03 / WHAT ELSE COULD WORK BETTER?
From the worksite to the next enquiry.
Explore 26 practical applications for civil and construction teams. Choose a task to see how it could work and what we would measure.
Capture information where the work happens and use it again in the office.
Record the site once. Produce the log from your phone.
Convert existing soil, borehole, test-pit or site inspection sheets into structured phone or tablet forms. Capture depths, observations, samples and linked photos, then generate a project-formatted PDF from the same record. Agree mandatory fields, validation, review and issue status with the responsible engineer.
WHAT WE’D MEASURE
Repeat entry, missing fields and time from logging to PDF
The focus is useful systems, better decisions and a team that knows how to use the tools.
Work Site AI is the AI onboarding and custom systems service by Kontain. I run Kontain and founded GeoKonect. My background spans geotechnical engineering, technical sales and business development — work where the details, the numbers and the follow-through matter.
I’ve used AI and custom development to turn spreadsheets into usable platforms, alongside quoting tools, document comparisons, contact-data clean-up and website content. The aim is practical: make information easier to use, reduce repeat work and give the team more control.
All prices are in Australian dollars. Software subscriptions, additional users, API usage and hosting are additional unless included in your proposal. A two-day development allowance is a scoping guide; the delivery programme also needs to allow for preparation, testing and rollout.
Your business owns its AI account. We work through separate, limited access as needed, with data and permissions agreed first. Your wider IT security remains essential, alongside the safeguards built into the AI service.
