Queensland is about to hand construction businesses $5,000 for business software and training. There aren't many, and it's expected to run as a ballot. You lodge it from your own login the day it opens. We build the AI back-office it's designed to cover, grant or not. Little to nothing out of pocket for eligible businesses.
No date published yet, and it's expected to run as a ballot. We don't lodge grant applications, you submit yourself, and we build the system it funds.
Flat $5k for business management software and training. Statewide, limited numbers, expected to run as a ballot. Date and fine print not published yet, so being ready early is the edge.
Free workshops and up to 5 hours of one-on-one digital and AI advice per business, live right now through the government's ASBAS program. Real help you can use while the grant lands.
$7,500 with no co-contribution, funds website and marketing work. Currently between rounds. We'll flag you the moment it reopens so you're ready for that one too.
The grant funds the setup. What you get is an AI back-office trained on your business, doing the admin that eats your nights and drops your jobs.
Up a ladder at 3pm and the phone rings out? It answers, takes the details, books them in, and texts you the job. That missed call was someone else's job by tomorrow.
Walk the job talking into your phone, or send it a couple of site photos, and a proper quote comes back drafted. You check it and hit send from the ute.
Invoice drafts itself off the quote and whatever changed on site, then chases the unpaid ones on its own. The cash that sits in inboxes for three weeks starts landing.
Asks the happy customer for a review at the right moment, one tap for them. Your stars grow, and they're real, no gating, no hiding the grumpy ones.
Run the free 60-second check. It shows you the jobs your missed calls are dropping and the hours your paperwork is stealing, grant or no grant.
When the round opens you submit from your own login. We don't run grant applications, and nobody can lodge one for you under the rules. We tell you straight what it funds and where you stand.
We set up and train your AI back-office on your business, live in about 14 days. The grant is designed to cover the build for eligible businesses, and it's from $497/mo after.
Local and seasonal. Moreton Bay is house-and-land country right now. The growth corridor through Caboolture, Narangba, Burpengary and Bellmere is still being carved out of old farmland, so a builder here runs slab-to-handover new builds plus warranty call-backs on estates that went up a year or two back. Out in the hinterland around Dayboro, Samford and Mount Mee it flips to custom acreage homes and big sheds with long lead times and real travel. The drier winter months are when planned renos and extensions get booked, then storm season from November drags programmes out when the ground won't dry and trades can't get on site.
Your stack and job volume. Builders don't live in ServiceM8 like the service trades. They run estimating-led software, Buildxact for residential quoting, Databuild or Buildertrend at the bigger end, with Xero or MYOB underneath, and in QLD there's the QBCC layer on top: licence class, Minimum Financial Requirements, and a mandatory written contract on domestic building work priced over $3,300. This is the deep, low-volume, high-value end, a handful of jobs worth tens or hundreds of thousands at once. The admin pain is document weight per job, staged progress claims under the BIF Act, pre-priced variations, and subbie coordination where the head builder stays liable.
What we would set up first. Set up quote and variation drafting from a voice note or site photo first. On a build the margin doesn't leak on the phone, it leaks when a change gets agreed on the tools and never makes it onto a bill, so lock that down before anything else. The job runs on paperwork, not callouts, so the next priority is getting progress claims out on time to protect cash inside the BIF Act windows, commonly 10 to 15 business days, where one late claim on a six-figure job hurts. Missed-call textback still catches new enquiries, it just isn't the headline for a builder.
Most of the mob doing this are remote agencies wiring up generic tools from interstate. We're Brisbane-based, your data stays onshore and stays yours, and the system learns how your business actually runs. We work with builders and trades right across the Moreton Bay region.

Government money or not, an AI back-office catches one missed call and it's paid for itself. See what your business is leaking this week, free, in 60 seconds.
See what you're leaking. Free 60-second checkFree to run the check. The AI back-office is from $497/mo, and the grant is designed to cover the build for eligible businesses. We don't lodge grant applications.
The Construction Business Advancement Grant hasn't opened yet and the government hasn't published the date or the full eligibility rules. We can't promise you'll get it, nobody can. What we can do is get you assessed and your application fully prepared, ready for you to submit the instant it opens, which is what counts when spots are limited.
The grant funds recognised business software and training. We set that up and train your crew, then the ongoing AI back-office runs on a simple monthly plan once the setup's done. The compliance and records are yours, the system just makes logging and finding them dead easy.
If it turns out you don't qualify, we'll tell you straight, and point you to the free advisory support that's available right now instead.
