There's a version of "AI for rough carpenters" that gets bought off a shelf and quietly stops getting used inside a month. Then there's the version wired into the real workflow, owned by a person on the team, still in use a year later. We only build the second one.
AI by role · New Zealand & Australia
Where AI actually helps rough carpenters, and where it doesn't.
By the numbers
AI adoption in this role is still early — which is exactly where the edge is cheapest to win. For context, Australia's overall AI usage sits at 4.11× its expected level and Canada at 4.37× (with Singapore leading at 5.53×) — adoption is already well ahead of the curve, so the edge goes to whoever turns it into a concrete workflow first.
Rough Carpenters sits within Construction, one of the sectors we build production AI for.

How we build AI for rough carpenters.

Questions
FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI with a rough carpenters team?
Most Rough Carpenters have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational – your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
What does AI cost for a rough carpenters team?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Has this actually shipped for a real rough carpenters 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.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Quote and schedule faster, Draft variations and site reports, Answer enquiries after hours, Cut admin and H&S paperwork are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
