Construction Admin Automation · Gold Coast, QLD
I build Google Sheets, Google Forms, and Excel automation systems that eliminate the manual grind from invoicing, job costing, price tracking, procurement, and site admin — built specifically for tradies, subbies, and small builders.
Real systems. Real time saved.
Sound familiar?
Every subbie invoices differently. You and your bookkeeper spend hours decoding them before you can even process payment.
Purchase orders living in your inbox, no live view of spend vs budget. You find out you're over budget after the fact.
You find out a job went over budget when it's already done. No live view of labour, materials, and subbie costs against what you quoted.
Supplier prices changing constantly, no system to track them. You're quoting from memory or outdated spreadsheets and eating the difference.
Variations approved on site verbally, never logged properly. Arguments at payment time because nothing was documented.
Every new subcontractor means chasing the same insurance docs, ABNs, and bank details all over again. Manually. Every time.
Site progress reported via text and photos that disappear in group chats. No structured record when things go wrong.
You started a building business, not a data entry job. But every week hours disappear into spreadsheets and paperwork.
What I do
Built in Google Sheets, Google Forms, or Microsoft Excel with Power Query — whichever fits how your business already works. No new software to buy.

Keep your system running and up to date as your business changes. New subbies added, tweaks made, problems fixed — without having to come back cap in hand each time.
Who I work with
If you're running a construction or trade business with a small team and too much admin, this is for you.
Managing subbies and drowning in non-uniform invoices, progress claims, and procurement paperwork.
Concreters, steel fixers, form workers, tilers. Owner is also the estimator and sometimes still on the tools.
Tired of reconciling messy subbie invoices for your construction clients every single month. I'll fix that.
Trades passed down through the family. Great at the work, but the admin has never been properly set up.
About Tayla
I'm not a generic tech freelancer who learned construction from a YouTube video. I spent four years inside Coral Homes' procurement team building automation systems for suppliers, supervisors, and trades.
Most small builders aren't losing money because of bad workmanship. They're losing it because their admin systems were never set up properly. A few hours of the right setup saves hundreds of hours a year.
