Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
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.
What we keep hearing from NZ building companies.
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.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

How it works in New Zealand
We find the one workflow costing building companies the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Good questions, answered
When does AI receptionist actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a building company - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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. Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail.
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.
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.
Will it work alongside Fergus or Tradify?
We build around the tools you already run instead of replacing them. Fergus and Tradify are both job management tools built in New Zealand for trades.
