BUILDING COMPLIANCE INDUSTRY — ANONYMOUS CLIENT
From 90 Minutes to 3 Minutes Per Job
The Problem
A building compliance consultancy was processing around 15 NatHERS energy assessment jobs per day. That's the compliance work every new Australian home requires before construction. Every job meant an assessor spending up to 90 minutes manually reading building plans and typing specifications into an intake form. At 15 jobs a day, that's over 20 hours a week of skilled assessor time spent on data entry.
What We Built
A purpose-built job management platform handling the full lifecycle: intake, pricing, quotes, task management, document handling, client messaging, and invoicing. The centrepiece is an AI that reads uploaded building plans the way a human would: interpreting floor plans to determine building orientation, reading elevations for eave overhangs, extracting window schedules and insulation specs from diagrams, not just text. The AI pre-populates every field in the job form and displays a confidence percentage for each result. Anything it's uncertain about is flagged for human review. The assessor reviews and confirms rather than reads and types.
The Result
Data entry per job dropped from 90 minutes to approximately 3 minutes. The platform is forecast to add $750,000 to the business's bottom line in year one. Total platform investment: $75,000.
