Quote it from the slab.
Book the subbies.
Keep measuring.
You're good at the build. You're drowning in the paperwork around it: the quote that took three nights, the sparky who didn't confirm, the variation nobody wrote down. That's the pile we take.
Start with the one
you hate most.
Every quote over seven days gets a nudge in your words. You hear about the replies worth reading, not the silence.
Quote follow-upEmails the trades, collects availability, books the order, and only rings you when there's a clash it can't solve.
Subbie coordinatorRe-prices every job from your own history and tells you when you're twenty percent under your own average. Before you send it.
Estimator's second opinion- Variations logged the day they're said, not the day they're disputed
- Progress claims drafted from the schedule, sent when you tap
- Warranty photos logged and checked against the job before you've looked
- Compliance chased: licences, insurances, inductions, with escalation on silence
Every seat has a name, a mailbox and a job list. Your customers talk to it by name. All twenty seats
Your Tuesday,
with staff.
You measure Mrs Armstrong's deck and say "quote it" into your phone on the lawn.
Priced from your last four decks. Hardwood's up since June. Allowed for. Design has the barbecue where she can see the mango tree.
Quote and design land on your phone, in your words. You tap yes at the servo. That's the only thing you did.
Crew booked. Subbies confirmed. "Who booked us?" "My right-hand man."
One ask on a front lawn.
Quote, design, approval, paid, crew booked for Monday.
One ask"Quote for Mrs Armstrong. Deck, eight by four, hardwood."
Priced from his historyHardwood's up since June. Allowed for.
One tap on his phoneNothing left the building until he pressed it.
Crew booked"Who booked us?" "My right-hand man."
A team.
Most builders take a small team: quote follow-up, subbie coordinator and the estimator's second opinion, with one team leader you brief once. One seat if quotes are the only bleed.
Price in writing after a 20-minute meeting. One job starts smaller. If you don't need us yet, we'll say so.
Questions owners ask
Can AI staff handle quotes for a building business?
Yes. A quoting seat drafts the quote from your measurements, prices and templates, follows it up on schedule and keeps the job moving once it’s won. It works in the tools you already use. You check the numbers and say yes before anything with a price on it goes to a client.
Can AI staff book the subbies?
Yes. A coordinator seat emails your trades, collects who’s available and books the sequence, then keeps everyone updated if the slab or the weather moves things. You see the plan before it goes out, and changes that cost money wait for your nod. Most builders pair it with the quoting seat.
Will AI staff email my clients without asking?
No. Live customer sends, money and anything public wait for your yes. That’s a rule, not a setting. The seat drafts the email, the team leader checks it, and it sits on your desk until you tap yes from the site or the ute. You keep the yes on everything that matters.
Do you work with builders on Brisbane’s northside?
Yes. Kindra Hire is based in Brendale QLD and works with builders across Brisbane’s northside, Moreton Bay and the rest of South East Queensland, plus clients Australia-wide. Start with a 20-minute meeting: tell us the paperwork you hate most and we’ll say which seat fits, or if you don’t need one.
