Built for the long run.

Systems that run the work, so you can live fuller.

I build the operational systems around your work: handoffs, approvals, status, reporting, and the lead response that feeds them. So your business runs on rhythm instead of memory. I do my deepest work in A/E, general contracting, and EPC, but the fit is about how your business runs, not what industry box it checks.

THE PROBLEM

You don't have a people problem. You have a system problem.

Your people are fine. Nobody can say where a job actually stands without walking down the hall to ask. Handoffs happen in the parking lot, the month-end report gets assembled by hand, and the closest thing to a dashboard is your memory. Leads sit while everyone is busy holding the rest of it together.

That's not a character flaw. It's what happens when a business runs on memory instead of rhythm. Memory gets tired. Rhythm doesn't.

01

Status lives in heads. So problems surface late, when they're expensive.

02

Handoffs happen in the parking lot. What matters never gets written down.

03

The report gets rebuilt by hand every month, from the same four places.

04

And leads wait. Follow-ups get forgotten. Not by bad employees, by busy ones.

Three phases. Same order every time.

01

Diagnose

I sit with your worst workflow and map where the time actually goes. Thirty minutes. If automation won't fix it, I say so and you keep your money.

02

Install

I build the system around the work you already do: handoffs, approvals, status, reporting, and the lead response that feeds them. On your existing tools where possible. No rip-and-replace.

03

Operate

Systems drift, so I stay on it: watch it run, tune the cadence, and show you what it's doing in numbers you can read in a minute.

I build it and run it. Or I teach your team to build it. The Field School

The catalog of what I install and run is public: AI agents for construction back-office workflows, covering submittal review, RFI triage, pay apps, sub prequal, bid leveling, and daily log rollups.

I come from the field.I build the operations around the work.

RLS runs on three commitments: rhythm, longevity, systems. That's the name, and it's the standard the work answers to. I started in the field, in work where the margins are real and nobody has time for software that doesn't pull its weight, and I've been building the systems that run that work for more than fifteen years. I'm a runner. I train for endurance, and endurance is strength that lasts. I build the way I train: map the route, then do the unglamorous work every day until it holds.

If you're skeptical, good. I work best with skeptics.

Common questions

RLS installs and operates automation and AI agents inside the workflows of construction and professional firms: intake, submittals, approvals, reporting, and lead response. We learn how your firm runs, then build the system that keeps work moving.

No. Everything is built on the tools you already run: Procore, Deltek, Sage, QuickBooks, spreadsheets, and email. If a swap ever makes sense we will say so, but we will not push it.

Architecture and engineering firms, general contractors, and EPC teams, mostly in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Dallas-Fort Worth. The common thread is documents that move through review and approval every week.

Your people. The system drafts and routes; nothing is issued without sign-off from the owner you designate. Checkpoints can be tightened or loosened anytime.

It starts with a system audit: a thirty-minute conversation about where days are being lost. We map the path, agree what to automate first, then build and run it with you.

A readiness audit runs $2,500 to $5,000, a pilot runs $8,000 to $15,000, and ongoing operation runs $3,000 to $8,000 per month. The audit prices the work before you commit to any of it.

Simple automations can be live in days, and most firms see turnaround changes within the first few weeks, visible in the status board rather than a slide deck.

Call +1 (572) 522-8082 or email info@rls-solutions.com, or book the audit from any page on this site. Hours are 8:00 to 21:00 CST on weekdays and 9:00 to 18:00 CST on weekends.

Give me your worst workflow.

Thirty minutes. I'll map the fix and what leaving it broken is costing you. If it's not worth building, I'll tell you that too.
