Management consulting for ground engineering contractors

Hands-on delivery, commercial and tender support — from people who've run the work.

G12 backs contractors where the pressure is: contract administration, variations and claims, estimating and tender submissions, technical advisory. Every engagement runs on the same integrated management platform we build for clients in their own Microsoft 365 — so the records, the registers and the evidence are always there when it counts.

Sound familiar?

Pressure shows up the same way on every job

The work is good. The records, the commercial position and the next bid are where it slips.

The programme is slipping and the variations register is three weeks behind the conversation on site.

The claim is strong — but the correspondence, notices and daily records to back it aren't.

Tender documents are rebuilt from scratch every time because nobody can find the last submission.

Specifications sit in someone's inbox while the crew works from last month's revision — and the audit is next month.

Services

Two streams, one discipline

Management consulting first, platform build behind it — hands-on support running the work, and the systems the business runs on. G12 doesn't construct, so there's never a conflict with the contractors we serve.

Consulting & delivery support

01

Project delivery & commercial support

Engineering-led support keeping delivery and the commercial position under control — before variations and claims become the distraction.

  • Contract administration, correspondence and notices
  • Variations, claims and progress reporting
  • Programme, cost and document discipline on live jobs
02

Bid & tender support

From opportunity to submission — priced, written and evidenced properly.

  • Estimating and pricing for ground engineering scopes
  • Tender writing, methodology and submission assembly
  • Pipeline and opportunity tracking as a system
03

Technical advisory

Independent, delivery-literate advice from people who've run the work.

  • Methodology and specification review — rope access, rockfall, sprayed concrete, anchors
  • ISO 9001 / 45001 / 14001 system design and audit readiness
  • Systems and information architecture advice before you commit

Platforms

04

Integrated management platforms

The core offering: a hub-and-spoke SharePoint platform covering the functions a contracting business actually runs on, aligned to ISO 9001, 45001 and 14001.

  • Document control and controlled registers
  • Plant & equipment, maintenance and prestarts
  • Correspondence and specifications tracking
  • Compliance, tenders and bids
05

Automation & integration

The platform does the chasing so your people don't have to.

  • Power Automate workflows — approvals, registers, notifications
  • Microsoft Graph and PowerShell for the jobs the UI can't do
  • Power BI reporting over live operational data
06

Tenant setup & migration

Getting the foundations right — or moving off the wrong ones.

  • Microsoft 365 tenant setup and Entra ID governance
  • Migration from Google Workspace and legacy file shares
  • Security, licensing and information architecture done once, properly
How it's built

Three principles, every platform

One hub, many spokes

A central hub carries the standards; each function and each client site is its own spoke. One copy of any document, one library per purpose — no duplication, ever.

Your tenant, your data

Everything is built inside your Microsoft 365 environment. If G12 disappeared tomorrow, your platform keeps running and you own every part of it.

Governed from day one

Naming conventions, version control, permissions and document numbering are designed in at the start — not bolted on before the audit.

The platform behind the consulting

Your management system. Built in your Microsoft 365. Owned by you.

What makes G12's consulting stick: every engagement can land as working systems in your own tenant — one environment, every function connected. No third-party lock-in. Your tenant, your data.

How we work

Engagement models

From a fixed-scope build to ongoing platform management — sized to the business, not the other way round.

Platform build

Fixed-scope design and deployment of your integrated management platform, handed over documented and working.

Embedded management

G12 runs and develops your platform as your systems arm — administration, automation and continuous improvement.

Delivery & commercial support

Hands-on support on live jobs — contract administration, variations, claims, reporting — for a project, a pinch point or a season.

Advisory

Independent, engineering-literate advice on methodology, systems and ISO alignment — before you commit to anything.

About G12

Built by people who've run the sites, not just the software

G12 Consulting was founded on decades of hands-on ground engineering delivery — rope access, rockfall protection, sprayed concrete and slope stabilisation work across Australia. That delivery discipline is now pointed at the systems contractors run on. G12 doesn't construct: the boundary is platform build and management consulting, which means no conflict with the contractors we serve.
