AI translation 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.

The honest read
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 we build AI translation 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 multilingual + te reo.

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.
Anyone else in this space using AI translation?
Plenty. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. 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.
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.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
