AI quoting is overhyped at the macro level and underused at the workflow level. For a NZ building company, that gap is where the actual ROI lives – and where most of our work happens.

What AI quoting actually does
Customers send a photo, a brief, or a voicemail – AI drafts a structured quote in your pricing format. You review, tweak, send. Quotes go out the same day, not next week.
- 01 Reads photos, voice notes, emails, and PDFs
- 02 Uses your pricing rules and current material costs
- 03 Drafts in your branded template, ready to send
- 04 Tracks win/loss to make the next quote sharper

Sector reality
Building companies need software built around their week, not against it.
- Builders run multiple sites at once, and the paperwork behind each one grows faster than anyone has time to manage.
- Variations, supplier orders, and client updates are the admin layer that determines whether a build stays on schedule.
How we build AI quoting for building companies.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a building company business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI-generated quotes.

Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for building companies?
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.
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 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. Quote turnaround drops from days to under an hour.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI quoting stack we reach for is Claude Vision, Whisper, Xero, Vercel, 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.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
