AI translation for builders.
AI translation that fits a building company's week, not the other way around.
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.
Records of Building Work, photos and variations organised as the job runs, ready for the code compliance certificate.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Translates rosters, safety notices and customer messages for staff and customers who work in more than one language.
- Health and safety sits with the business
- Restricted work needs an LBP
- Consent first, sign-off after
Where most building companies engagements actually deliver value.
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 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.
We'd call the engagement a success when building companies are using the system without thinking about us. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. Kiwi Dynamics
Questions building companies ask
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI translation stack we reach for is Claude, DeepL, ElevenLabs, 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.
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.
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.
Is our data kept in New Zealand?
Kiwi Dynamics hosts its own infrastructure in New Zealand, under New Zealand governance. If personal information ever has to go offshore, privacy principle 12 requires comparable protection.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
