    What we build

    The four jobs in the loop above, running in Claude

    Takeoffs Reads the drawings, counts and measures, fills your costing sheet and checks it before it goes out.
    Purchase orders Reads the supplier’s order, matches it to the job, flags price changes and enters it for you.
    Quoting from site Talk through the job on site. It comes back as a priced quote in your template, ready to check.
    Sales follow-up After the call, the CRM is updated and the follow-up is written in your voice, waiting for you to send.
    How we think about AI

    AI does the busywork. Your people make the calls.

    Most of a desk day isn’t the job. It’s finding the right drawing, searching old quotes for a rate, and keying the same job into three systems. AI is good at that part, so that’s the part we take off your team.

    What it can’t do is know which client is worth chasing, when a price looks wrong, or what the site will really need. That judgement is why you hired your people. With the busywork gone, it’s most of what they do.

    AI takes on
    • Finding the drawing, spec or past quote
    • Counting, measuring and pulling rates
    • Keying the same job into two or three systems
    • First drafts of quotes, orders and follow-ups
    Your people keep
    • The pricing call and the final number
    • Decisions on scope, risk and which jobs to chase
    • Reading the client and the site
    • Signing off everything that goes out

    Everything we build hands its work to a person to check before it leaves the business.

    Before you ask

    Questions owners ask us

    Is this about replacing my staff?No. We go after the busywork in a role, not the role. Finding, searching, counting and retyping get quicker. The pricing calls, the judgement on site and the advice your clients pay for stay with your people, and they get more time for it. That’s why we train the team on site: they’re the ones who run what we build.
    Who owns what you build?You keep full ownership of your data and business information, and everything we deliver is licensed to you for unlimited internal use. We keep our own methods, templates and tools.
    How much of my team’s time does it take?2 to 5 session days with your team, set by headcount.

    Let’s find what your operation is leaking.

    We find at least $250,000 a year of waste, or you get every dollar back plus $5,000 for your time.
