Anna Marie Saplad, AI Automation Specialist focused on construction coordination AI Automation Specialist | Construction Coordination · South East Queensland

You became a builder to build.Not to chase paperwork.

I'm Anna Marie Saplad. I build and operate AI automation workflows for construction coordination for builders in South East Queensland. They track documents and key dates, flag follow-ups, and prepare reminders and drafts for your team to review. You keep the decisions and site responsibility — while the systems help keep work moving so you can stay focused on site without things slipping through the cracks.

The story

How the pieces fit together.

The same construction-coordination journey, designed for clear one-thumb scrolling.

A miniature builder overwhelmed by construction paperwork and admin
The problem

You didn't get into building to do admin.

RFIs, stat decs, sub chases, owner updates — the pile on your desk grows faster than the house does.

Construction paperwork gaps affecting activity on a building site
What it costs

Every gap in the paperwork lands on site.

An unanswered RFI can delay decisions, disrupt sequencing and consume site time. The exact impact depends on the job, trade availability and contract.

I review the drafts. You make the call.

I build the workflow that sorts incoming homeowner emails, logs what needs attention and prepares response drafts. A person reviews the drafts and the builder or responsible team makes the decisions.

03 / About

About me

AI Automation Specialist focused on construction coordination.

I’m Anna Marie Saplad, based in the Philippines and focused on automation systems for small residential builders in South East Queensland.

My background spans operations coordination, executive assistance and more than eight years of remote medical records processing in a HIPAA-regulated environment, where accuracy, confidentiality, careful case matching and secure handling of protected health information are part of the work.

I now bring that operational experience into the reusable construction coordination workflows I build, configure, operate and support, so the builder can stay focused on site without things slipping through the cracks.

The workflows help keep information, follow-ups and reporting organised and visible. The builder and responsible project team remain in control of approvals, commercial and contractual decisions, and site actions.

How it connects

Homeowner Email Triage
Decision / Approval / Variation Register
Friday Owner Update
Weekly Builder Update

My portfolio shows related workflow patterns: emails are triaged; decisions and variations are recorded; contract documents and dates are tracked; the COC register monitors certificate expiries; lookaheads surface upcoming actions; and separate builder and homeowner updates prepare reporting. Payment-claim administration is another tracked path. These are connected design opportunities, not a claim that every portfolio build is already integrated or client-deployed. The broader subcontractor document tracker is still in development.

06 / Research

Research-informed systems for recurring builder coordination gaps.

The systems I build are informed by recurring coordination gaps in Queensland residential construction, supported by public QBCC data and industry research.

The honest maths

Where do your admin hours go?

Three sliders create an illustrative worked example using your selected assumptions. This is not a forecast, guarantee or measured client result.

AUD $86,400 illustrative annual admin-time value plus assumed delay-event costs. Actual costs, savings and outcomes vary.

Fixed calculator assumptions: 48 working weeks per year and AUD $6,000 per delay event.

08 / FAQ

FAQ

Questions builders actually ask

No software to learn. No jargon. Just systems.

You do not need to write or manage code to use the agreed systems.

Do I need to learn new software?

We can configure the agreed workflow around familiar tools such as email and spreadsheets. I build, operate and monitor the automation layer; you and your team review its outputs and keep control of decisions.

What do you actually take off my plate?

I automate the repeated sorting, tracking, reminders and update preparation around project emails, questions, payment-claim dates and documents. Instead of checking several places and gathering everything manually, you have organised information and prepared updates to review, with important decisions still in your hands.

How is this different from hiring a contracts administrator?

My service provides the automation that supports you and your contracts administrator or project team. I adapt my existing workflows to your business and, under managed service, run, monitor and maintain them. Your team gets organised records, reminders and prepared updates while keeping responsibility for contract decisions and approvals.

What do the AI automations actually do?

They turn information your team already records into useful reminders, flags and draft updates. For example, a certificate approaching expiry can trigger a reminder, an unanswered project question can be flagged for follow-up, and project information can be brought together into a weekly summary. I configure the agreed workflows around your process and review requirements.

Who is this service best suited to?

This service is designed for builders in South East Queensland who want less repetitive coordination admin and a clearer view of what needs attention. It works alongside you and your team, keeping routine tracking, reminders and updates organised so the builder can stay focused on site without things slipping through the cracks.

Who manages the workflows after setup?

With managed service, I take care of your automation from setup through ongoing use.

I adapt my existing workflows to your tools, project information, schedules and approval process, connect the required applications, and test the setup with you before launch. You start with an existing workflow foundation configured for your business, rather than a completely new build.

Once live, I manage the technical setup, run and monitor the workflows, carry out maintenance, and handle troubleshooting within our agreed scope. For workflows included in the monitoring plan, automated checks run around the clock and alert me to detected problems. I investigate and provide support during our agreed support hours.

Your service includes the agreed automation-platform subscription and AI usage allowance, along with service updates and reviews at an agreed frequency. You have someone looking after the automation, rather than having to manage the technical side yourself. Your team uses the organised records, reminders and prepared updates while staying in control of decisions.

With package handover, I configure the system for your business and provide the agreed documentation and transition support to the person who will manage it. After the handover, your team or chosen technical provider takes care of ongoing operation, maintenance, subscriptions and usage costs. We agree these responsibilities before proceeding.

Bolt - Anna's AI Twin powered by Hermes Agent

Bolt, my AI Twin

Powered by Hermes Agent · Operational visibility and follow-through behind the workflows I manage

Bolt is my AI Twin and the operational support layer behind the automation systems I manage. When several workflows are moving at once, she helps bring the relevant activity and context into view so I can see what needs my attention next.

How Bolt supports my work

  • Workflow visibility. Helps me see what is moving and what needs review.
  • Issues that need attention. Where monitoring and alerts are configured, relevant issues can be surfaced for me to investigate.
  • Drafting and summaries. Helps bring information together into drafts and summaries for my review.
  • Reminders and follow-through. Helps me keep pending actions and follow-ups visible.

Why I use an AI Twin

I created Bolt because automation can move a lot of information, but someone still needs to understand what matters. She gives me another layer of visibility while I remain responsible for the work around it.

What stays with me

I remain responsible for judgement, communication, review, troubleshooting and escalation. Builder approvals, commercial decisions and site actions remain with the builder and responsible project team.

FROM AI TWIN TO YOUR WEBSITE

Want something like Bolt on your website?

Bolt is my personal AI Twin. I also build custom AI website chatbots for businesses that want 24/7 enquiry handling and lead capture.

They use your approved business information to answer common questions, help visitors share an enquiry, and send confirmed enquiry details to your email.

Your website chatbot can have its own name, branding and character design. If you want something more personal, it can even be designed as an AI Twin inspired by you.
