Clear,actionable advice.
We help small and mid sized businesses, from professional services to trades, understand how their operations really run, identify where AI will deliver measurable improvement, define a clear path forward and implement the right solutions with discipline.
Alongside AI advisory, we provide selective built environment advisory for complex infrastructure programmes, applying the same structured, risk-aware approach.
Two services, one discipline.
AI Consultancy
Identify friction, improve decision-making, and implement automation where it matters. We map your reality before suggesting tools.
- What you get
- A clear-eyed audit of how your operations run, and a prioritised plan for where AI earns its place.
- Who it's for
- Small and mid sized business owners and ops leaders who want practical answers, not hype.
- Typical outcome
- Time saved, decisions made with better information, automation only where it pays back.
Built Environment Advisory
Senior, selective advisory for complex infrastructure. The same structured, risk-aware approach, applied to major programmes.
- What you get
- Independent challenge on scope, commercial position and delivery risk from a senior practitioner.
- Who it's for
- Construction and infrastructure buyers carrying real programme and commercial risk.
- Typical outcome
- Hidden cost and dispute headed off early, clearer scopes, fewer surprises in delivery.
How the AI audit works.
A disciplined four-step pathway. We map reality before we recommend anything, and measure the result against the friction we set out to remove.

Every engagement run by the practitioner, not handed down
Senior people who have worked with Mike.
“I’ve worked with Mike on complex multi-package civil engineering projects, where his ability to define clear scopes and specifications prevented increased cost and over-runs. That same precision and foresight will be a huge benefit for homeowners managing extensions or refurbishments.”
“On complex projects, Mike consistently delivered clarity and structure that saved clients time, money, and stress. That same structured approach is exactly what clients need to avoid hidden costs and disputes.”
“I have worked with Mike in a client-consultant relationship for almost 10 years and would characterise our interaction as trusting, respectful and highly professional. Mike gives thorough and detailed feedback which allows any necessary corrective actions to be taken at the earliest opportunity. He also recognises the strengths of others and tailors his communications as necessary.
I believe that the above, combined with Mike’s thorough understanding of construction contracts and previous experience as a contractor himself, will provide clients with a great degree of comfort that problems will be avoided and certainty of success maximised.”
What clients say about the audit.
“We engaged Clear Build Consulting to carry out an AI audit of our practice. Mike was thorough, easy to work with, and clearly understood our sector. We were becoming increasingly aware that AI had the potential to make us more efficient however had no idea where to start in using the technology. The audit gave us a clear picture of where AI could make a real difference and how we could go about implementing it.”
