AI strategy for roofers.
The version of AI strategy that roofing companies still use a year after launch.
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing roofing companies the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Measure-ups turned into quotes with GST shown correctly, and job photos filed for restricted building work records.
Roofing companies run their businesses unlike anyone else.
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.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Built around how New Zealand works.
We map the recurring New Zealand admin in your week, like GST, payday filing and ACC levies, and pick the one to automate first.
- GST at 15 per cent
- Payday filing, every payday
- ACC levies set by industry
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

Good questions, answered
What's the realistic outcome for roofing companies?
Most plans pay for themselves in the first build. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI strategy stack we reach for is Claude, Notion, Miro, Linear, 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.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Will quotes and invoices show GST properly?
Yes. GST is 15 per cent on most goods and services in New Zealand, and anything we build that prices work shows it the way your accounts need.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
