Good questions, answered
Has this actually shipped for a real cement masons and concrete finishers team?
Yes. 0.01% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
What's a typical engagement length for Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI stack we reach for is Quote and schedule faster, Draft variations and site reports, Answer enquiries after hours, Cut admin and H&S paperwork, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
