Process first, automation second
A bad process automated is just a bad process running faster. We get the workflow sound, then automate the parts that earn it.
About
Construction process automation, built by someone who's worked the trade.
ProcessSmith helps construction companies get out from under scattered, manual operations. We learn how your projects actually run, put process discipline in place, then automate what matters.
Most construction companies don't have a technology problem. They have a workflow problem. Daily notes live in notebooks, change orders arrive by text, action items sit in someone's memory, and the follow-up that matters only happens when a person remembers.
We map that mess and put the right fix in place: sometimes basic process discipline your operation is missing (centralized meeting notes, daily journals, action-item tracking), sometimes automation, usually both in that order. It's not about "more AI." It's about fewer hours lost to chasing information and more time on the work that grows the business.
Everything starts with a Workflow Review, so you get a clear, prioritized plan before anyone builds anything.
Built by someone who's worked the trade.
Steve Rea started in the field at twenty: a union plumbing apprentice who came up on some of BC's biggest projects, including the Abbotsford Regional Hospital, the Pacific Coliseum Olympic upgrade, and the Fort St. John Hospital. By his thirties he was a foreman running 30-person crews on high-rise towers, including a 50-storey build.
That's where the second half of the story starts. While running that tower, he took night courses in computer-aided design and began laying out his own work digitally, down to prefabricating the 48th-floor mechanical room from his own drawings. That turned into 3D modelling from a site trailer, then a move into digital construction full-time: five years building the templates, standards, and SOPs a construction company now runs on across multiple offices.
ProcessSmith is the same pattern, applied to your business: take messy, manual work, give it structure, then automate what earns its place.
Not a software vendor learning construction. A construction guy who learned to build systems.
