AI chatbots for roofers.
Built for the roofing company who's already tried the off-the-shelf option and bounced off it.
Measure-ups turned into quotes with GST shown correctly, and job photos filed for restricted building work records.
The friction roofing companies hit that other industries don't.
Roofers quote off photos, chase weather windows, and juggle insurance jobs that all move at different speeds.
Fast, accurate quoting from a photo is the single biggest lever for a roofing business's close rate.
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.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
Answers customer questions in plain New Zealand English from your own policies and prices, and hands anything tricky to a person.
- GST at 15 per cent
- Restricted work needs an LBP
- Xero, founded in New Zealand
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. 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.
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.

- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No annual contracts
Straight answers
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI chatbots is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude, OpenAI, Custom RAG pipelines are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
Is AI chatbots worth it for a smaller roofing company?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
What's the realistic timeline for AI chatbots with a roofing company?
Most roofing companies have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Can reminders follow the new WoF rules?
They need to. From 1 November 2026 many light vehicles aged 4 to 14 years move to a WoF every two years, and new vehicles get their second WoF at 4 years.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
