AI Automation for Queensland Businesses

Your best people are doing $30-an-hour work.

Built for construction firms — and any team where admin has quietly become someone’s full-time job.

I find the admin eating your team's week, build the AI that does it instead, and train your people to run it. Automation from $1,500 + GST, fixed price, and you own what I build.

Fixed price, scoped before you commit. No lock-in.

Without Headway

Quotes bottleneck on one person

Every quote waits on the one person who knows the pricing. Work sits for days, and the client goes with whoever got back to them first.

→
With Headway

AI drafts them from your own pricing

An enquiry lands and the AI drafts the quote off your rate card and past jobs. Your estimator reviews and sends. Days become minutes.

Without Headway

Invoicing is manual re-keying

Someone re-enters the same job details into your accounting system every week. It is slow, it is error-prone, and every day it waits is a day you are not paid.

→
With Headway

AI raises and sends them

Invoices draft themselves from the job record the moment work is signed off. Fewer errors, and the cash arrives sooner.

Without Headway

Debtors slip through the cracks

Nobody enjoys chasing money, so it gets done late or not at all — and your ageing receivables quietly grow.

→
With Headway

AI follows up on schedule

Reminders go out on your terms and escalate as invoices age. Cash comes in without anyone having the awkward conversation.

Without Headway

Monday disappears into the report

Someone rebuilds the same management report by hand every week, pulling numbers out of four systems into a spreadsheet nobody trusts.

→
With Headway

AI builds it before you are in

The report assembles itself from the source systems overnight and is in your inbox before the Monday meeting. Nobody touches a spreadsheet.

Why me

Built by someone who's run real businesses — not a bot reseller.

🎓

MIT Sloan AI certification — I know what actually works, not just what's trending.

🌏

Senior leadership at APAC level — 11 countries, $100m+ scale, and deep experience across multiple industries.

📍

Based in Brisbane — I speak small to medium-sized business, not Silicon Valley.

Proof

Two systems I built and run myself.

Not stories about someone else’s business. These are mine, they are running now, and you can read exactly how they work — including where I still check everything before it goes out.

The rental portfolio that runs without me

Three rentals and an Airbnb. It watches the leases, drafts the renewals and texts me once a month with everything I need to know. Nothing missed since.

How I run Headway Co.

Proposals, pitch decks and this website. Three systems that do the retrieval, the structuring and the assembly — so the judgement is the only part left for me.

Questions owners ask.

How much does it cost?

Automation starts at $1,500 + GST for a single straightforward task, from $3,950 + GST for a multi-step workflow, and $7,500 to $20,000+ + GST for AI agents and connected systems. An AI Readiness Day is $3,500 + GST. I scope the job first and quote the number up front, before you commit, so a bigger build is never a surprise.

What if I don't know what to automate?

That's the free call — I find it with you.

Do I need to buy software?

AI software, subscriptions and API credits are extra and quoted up front — usually $50 to $300 a month. My fee covers my work.

What happens after handover?

You keep everything. Changes later are quoted separately.

Is my data safe?

Built on enterprise-grade tools — Anthropic’s Claude, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Make and Microsoft among others. I set you up on business or API tiers, where your data is not used to train anyone’s models; if you would rather not, I will explain the risk and the choice is yours. Your data stays in your own accounts, I only take the access the build actually needs, and that access ends at handover.
