Business automations is overhyped at the macro level and underused at the workflow level. For a NZ electrical contractor, that gap is where the actual ROI lives – and where most of our work happens.

The honest read
Where most electrical contractors engagements actually deliver value.
- Electricians juggle callouts, compliance certificates, and quoting, usually from the front seat of a van.
- Certificates of compliance and quote turnaround are where electrical businesses either look professional or lose the job.

Questions
FAQ
How long does business automations take to ship for electrical contractors?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real electrical contractors data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
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.
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. Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy business automations into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. n8n sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
