Straight answers to the questions Australian construction, civil, and mining-services businesses actually ask about AI — no hype, no jargon.
EveryDay AI with Graham is a Perth-based AI consulting practice for construction and civil businesses. It was founded by Graham Blackwell, who spent 20+ years in finance and systems roles on Western Australian civil projects, and it sells fixed-price packages — an AI Readiness Review, a 4-week Implementation Sprint, and an ongoing AI Advisor Retainer — rather than open-ended hourly consulting.
Yes. AI and automation can take on accounts-payable processing, progress-claim preparation, and reconciling project costs back to the ledger in MYOB or Xero — while respecting job costing, retentions, and head-contract payment schedules that break generic bookkeeping automation. Graham Blackwell has run finance across civil entities turning over up to AUD $60 million and migrated construction businesses from MYOB to Xero with ApprovalMax.
WA civil and earthworks contractors get the fastest payback from AI on document-heavy, repetitive work: extracting data from supplier invoices and drawings, drafting RFQ responses, and pulling reporting out of systems like Procore. The practical approach is to automate one workflow first, measure the hours saved, then expand — rather than trying to apply AI across the whole business at once.
