Built for the parts of the civil engineers job that eat a Tuesday.
When civil engineers ask us what AI actually changes, the first question we put back is the same one every time: which part of your week, if it disappeared, would change how you feel on a Friday?
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.

By the numbers
Canada's overall AI usage sits at 4.37x its expected level, with Singapore leading at 5.53x.
Adoption is already well ahead of the curve, and the edge goes to whoever turns it into a concrete workflow first.
What changes for civil engineers week to week
Civil Engineers sits within Architecture & Engineering, one of the sectors we build production AI for.
- Draft specs and documentation
- Check standards and compliance
- Summarise reports and drawings
- Speed up calculations and reviews
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

Good questions, answered
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Draft specs and documentation, Check standards and compliance, Summarise reports and drawings, Speed up calculations and reviews but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. 0.01% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026)
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Can you work to the NZISM?
The NZISM is the government's information security manual and is written for vendors serving agencies as well as the agencies themselves, so government-adjacent work should be built to it.
Do you respond to government tenders?
Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.
