AI that gives paperhangers their time back, not another dashboard.
Every paperhangers team we've worked with has a different definition of "broken".
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.
AI adoption in this role is still early - which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

What changes for paperhangers week to week
Paperhangers sits within Construction, one of the sectors we build production AI for.
- Quote and schedule faster
- Draft variations and site reports
- Answer enquiries after hours
- Cut admin and H&S paperwork
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
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.
Straight answers
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Quote and schedule faster sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
How do you price AI engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Paperhangers are surprised how small the first cheque is.
How long does AI take to ship for Paperhangers?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Paperhangers data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Can it keep our building records in order?
Yes. Restricted building work must be done or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, who provides a Record of Building Work, and AI can keep those filed per job.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
