“It transformed the business. It went from 0 to 100. I stumbled on it, rebuilt the entire system on the weekend by myself, and we’ve just not stopped ever since. It’ll transform any business, 100%.”

Key Results

  • 100% paperless on site. King Konstruct is the only company in their area operating with zero paper on every jobsite, across every project type.
  • A $10 million project delivered $4 million under budget, with Connecteam’s shared scheduling used as the single source of truth across a geographically dispersed labor team.
  • Faster pre-starts and safety compliance, with digital toolbox talks, JSAs, and SHMP modules replacing printed forms and manual sign-offs.

The Challenge: Too Many Moving Parts, No Single System

King Konstruct runs a multi-disciplinary team of 35 across projects that can last 5 hours or 4 years. Coordinating labor, safety documentation, and client-facing reporting across that range of work, with no fixed operating hours, meant the existing approach was always one step behind.

  1. Scheduling and task assignment relied on manual processes, making it hard to adapt when ad hoc jobs, which make up 60 to 70% of the workload, came in at any moment
  2. Safety documentation, toolbox talks, and pre-starts were paper-based, creating gaps in compliance and no reliable audit trail
  3. Onboarding was inconsistent. Getting the right people vetted, trained, and assigned to the right skill tier took too long with no structured system behind it

“Organizing the work is easy if you have the right tool. Getting the right people. Very hard.”

How King Konstruct Uses Connecteam to Manage Complexity Across Every Job Type

Matthew rebuilt King Konstruct’s entire operating system inside Connecteam over a single weekend, then kept building. The platform now runs pre-starts, safety documentation, scheduling, onboarding quizzes, and client reporting in one place.

  • Every morning shift begins with a safety pre-start run through Connecteam on a large screen TV. Staff confirm toolbox talks digitally on their phones instead of signing printed sheets.
  • Forms are created on the fly for JSAs, shift reports, and regulatory compliance documents. Photos are attached directly to every report before it goes to the client.
  • The scheduler is shared externally with clients so they can see exactly who is on site, what is being done, and when, in real time.

“The client says to me: how are you doing this? We’re the only ones on site that are 100% digital. Nobody in the area is like that. Nobody that I know. We don’t use paper. And that’s where Connecteam comes in.”

Results That Affect King Konstruct’s Bottom Line

Real-Time Scheduling That Keeps Jobs on Budget

  • On a $10 million equipment relocation project, Connecteam’s shared schedule became the central coordination tool for all labor across the site.
  • The project finished $4 million under budget. On-the-fly schedule updates allowed Matthew to reassign people immediately as the client’s needs changed.
  • The schedule was shared with the client team in Brisbane while the work happened 13 hours away in Moranbah, giving full transparency across the distance.

Digital Safety and Compliance That Holds Up on Site

  • Pre-start meetings, toolbox talks, and SHMP modules run through Connecteam every morning. Confirmation is captured digitally, replacing printed sign-off sheets.
  • Shift reports with photos are completed and sent to clients at the end of every shift, closing out each day with documented proof of work.
  • Custom forms for JSAs and site-specific compliance are built in minutes and adapted on the fly as job conditions change.

“Once I saw what Connecteam was capable of, we kept expanding it and never looked back.”

Before vs. After Connecteam

Aspect Before Connecteam After Connecteam
Scheduling Manual and reactive. Hard to adjust when ad hoc jobs came in Live digital scheduler, updated on the fly and shared directly with clients
Safety & Compliance Paper forms, printed toolbox talks, manual sign-offs Digital pre-starts, JSAs, and SHMP modules confirmed on staff phones each morning
Shift Reporting No structured format. Inconsistent client updates Photo-attached shift reports sent to clients at the end of every shift
Onboarding Unstructured vetting with no system behind it Custom onboarding quizzes and skill-tier assignment built inside Connecteam
Client Visibility Clients had no real-time view of labor or progress Shared schedules give clients live visibility into who is on site and what is being done

Why Connecteam Was the Right Move

Matthew had tried other platforms before. None matched the speed, flexibility, and depth he needed for a business that runs 60 to 70% on-demand jobs across construction, mining, transport, and cleaning. Connecteam was the first platform he could rebuild from scratch, adapt to his specific workflows, and actually run a business on.
