Building & shipping · Construction tech
I'm Alan Richardson — I design and ship tools for the construction industry: document generators, audit pipelines, and AI-assisted compliance systems. Below are some of the things I've built.
A few projects I've designed and built end to end.
A zero-trust safety framework and WHS governance architecture for construction. Generates SWMS, risk assessments, and WHS control packs through deterministic inference plus AI-assisted assembly — with review-before-download trust gates so nothing is issued until a competent person signs off.

Learn more →A complete, branded Work Health & Safety management package — manual, site safety plans, 20+ forms, worker quick-guides, and trade SWMS — all auto-generated from markdown and a SHA-locked template, then deployed as a searchable site behind access control.
View live site →A client-agnostic engine that builds custom WHS management systems on demand: ingest a client's manual, auto-brand the whole bundle from their logo and site, map content to a standard structure, and deploy a hosted, access-controlled deliverable — the productised version of the RPD build.
Learn more →Automated audit workflow that turns site evidence (photos, notes) into a branded audit report, PIMS-enriched data, and a staging upload — a three-deliverable bundle generated from one evidence folder.
Learn more →Compares project risk requirements against subcontractor SWMS and reports gaps with explicit states — aligned, partial, missing, weaker-than-required — keeping human approval as the final decision point.
Learn more →Branded findings-report pipeline — markdown to stamped PDF with cover pages, disposition pills, compliance summaries, and observation registers under a strict format contract.
Learn more →A QR-based digital worker check-in and site induction system that replaces paper sign-in registers — workers scan in at the gate, confirm identity and induction status, and data flows into a central live worker register.
Learn more →I work at the intersection of construction, safety, and software. My focus is building practical tools that reduce manual compliance work without cutting corners — systems that produce draft-for-review output a competent person can trust and sign off.
Most of my recent work is benchmark-led: pick a real case, compare against a stronger reference, fix the smallest safe slice, and protect it with regression tests. Quality over cleverness.
