AI email triage for roofers.
The version of AI email triage that roofing companies still use a year after launch.
Measure-ups turned into quotes with GST shown correctly, and job photos filed for restricted building work records.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
Emails sorted by urgency, with IRD, ACC and council letters flagged first, so the ones with deadlines never get buried.
- ACC levies set by industry
- GST at 15 per cent
- Restricted work needs an LBP
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What you get
We'd call the engagement a success when roofing companies are using the system without thinking about us.
- Drafts replies in your tone, ready to send
- Auto-files attachments to the right job folder
- Detects complaints and pings the right person
- Weekly digest of what was handled while you slept
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No AI theatre
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What years of building for roofing companies taught us.
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.
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.
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.

Good questions, answered
How do you price AI email triage 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 roofing companies are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Anyone else in this space using AI email triage?
Plenty. Inbox time cut from 2 hours/day to under 30 minutes. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI email triage into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
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.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
