What It Does for a Kiwi Builder
Six call types most NZ construction companies handle every week. The AI takes the front desk so your PMs run sites and your estimators win bids.
Subcontractor Coordination
Reschedules subbies against live project schedule. Confirms next slot, updates Buildertrend or Workflow Max, notifies affected trades.
Supplier + Delivery Calls
Captures supplier ETAs, material confirmations, delivery rescheduling. Writes to your project plan, SMS-notifies the site supervisor.
Quote + Project Enquiries
Captures public enquiries with project type, scope, timeline, budget. Books a callback with your estimator.
After-Hours Site Emergencies
Critical-keyword detection triggers immediate transfer to your on-call site manager. SMS-summarises to your H&S officer.
Council + LBP Inspection Bookings
Books council inspections, LBP supervisor visits, defect-period walkthroughs. Drops the appointment into your PM's calendar.
Client + Trade Status Updates
Owners ringing to ask 'when will the kitchen go in?' Get a real answer pulled from the live schedule, no PM interruption.
Built for NZ Construction Compliance
NZ Privacy Act 2020, HSWA on safety, and NZ Marketing Association standards on outbound. The agent stays inside the rules that govern Kiwi building work by design.
NZ Privacy Act 2020
Information Privacy Principle 3 disclosure on every call. Suppression on request. Onshore data residency available. Encrypted audio in transit and at rest. Zero-data-retention available for incident reports.
HSWA Incident Escalation
Safety-critical keywords (injury, fire, gas, fall, electrical) trigger immediate human transfer. The agent never gives safety advice, never delays escalation. We tune the keyword set to your incident reporting flow during onboarding.
Marketing Standards on Outbound
NZ Marketing Association telemarketing standards followed. Identifies as AI on every outbound. Calls only inside permitted hours, never on Sunday.
What happens when a subbie reports a safety incident? Critical-keyword detection (injury, fire, gas, fall, electrical) triggers immediate transfer to your on-call site manager. HSWA-aligned: the agent never gives safety advice, never delays escalation, captures the address and incident type, and SMS-summarises to your H&S officer.
The Voice Engine NZ Builders Need
Real-time speech, sub-second latency, function calls into your project management stack, warm transfer with site context already on screen.
Sub-800ms First-Token Latency
End-to-end response between 0.9 and 1.4 seconds. Tradies hang up faster than buyers, so the conversation has to feel human from the first second.
Native Kiwi Speech Transcription

Function Calls Into Your Stack
Reads and updates Buildertrend, Workflow Max, simPRO schedules. Books inspections, confirms subbies, sends SMS to site supervisors. Without a human in the loop.
Warm Transfer With Site Context
When the AI hands a call to your PM or site manager, they see the site address, the trade involved, and the issue summary already captured.
Native Kiwi Voice
NZ accents for both genders by default. Aussie, UK, US options on the voices page if your business operates trans-Tasman.
Recording + Retention Controls
Zero-data-retention available for incident reports. Custom windows (0, 7, 30, 90 days) configurable. Encrypted webhooks with HMAC signatures.
