Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Paving, Surfacing, and Tamping Equipment Operators?
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.
Has this actually shipped for a real paving, surfacing, and tamping equipment operators team?
Yes. AI adoption in this role is still early — which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI stack we reach for is Quote and schedule faster, Draft variations and site reports, Answer enquiries after hours, Cut admin and H&S paperwork, 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.
