AI Automation Consulting

You're wasting hours every week on work that shouldn't need a human.

I've been in and around Irish construction businesses for over four decades. In that time, the paperwork has multiplied tenfold, but the hours in the day haven't. Daywork sheets get emailed in, copied into a spreadsheet, then manually keyed into an invoice. Purchase orders get approved by replying to an email chain twelve messages deep. The same onboarding checklist gets recreated from scratch every time someone new starts. Nobody designed it this way. It just... happened.

That's what automation is for. Not replacing people. Freeing them up.

When I talk about AI automation consulting, I'm not talking about some exotic technology that requires a team of developers and six months of implementation. I'm talking about connecting the tools you're already using — Google Workspace, Xero, Slack, your email — and making them work together instead of independently. I'm talking about the kind of work that Google Apps Script was built to handle: automations that run quietly in the background and eliminate the repetitive manual steps that eat half your day.

Here's what that looks like in practice. A site manager submits a daywork sheet via a Google Form. That form submission automatically generates a formatted document, logs it to a central sheet, and fires a notification to the contracts manager for approval — all without anyone touching a keyboard. The contracts manager clicks approve. The document gets moved to the right folder, the client gets notified, and the data feeds straight into the invoice. What used to take thirty minutes of admin is now a thirty-second process. That's not theoretical. That's a workflow I've built for a construction company operating across multiple sites in Leinster.

Email is another area where the waste is enormous. Most inboxes are a disaster zone — newsletters, supplier updates, WRC circulars, client queries, and spam all sitting together demanding equal attention. Rules, filters, and automated sorting can cut the time spent managing email by more than half. Automated follow-up sequences mean nobody falls through the cracks because a quote wasn't chased. Invoice reminders go out automatically at seven, fourteen, and twenty-one days without anyone having to remember to send them.

I'm not interested in selling you a subscription to some platform you'll never fully use. The approach here is straightforward. I audit your existing workflows, identify the highest-value automation opportunities, and then build them using tools you already have or low-cost integrations that pay for themselves within weeks. Google Workspace alone — Sheets, Forms, Docs, Gmail, Drive — is capable of handling the vast majority of what small Irish businesses need automated. For accounting workflows, Xero's API and Zapier integrations open up a further range of possibilities.

The work is bespoke. I map your specific processes, build the automation, and hand it over with documentation your team can maintain. This isn't a subscription model where you're paying monthly for something vague. It's a defined piece of work that delivers a defined outcome.

If you've ever caught yourself doing the same task for the third time that week and thought "there must be a better way" — there is. Let's find it.
