The problem

Most AI advice for tradies and designers is useless.

It's either too generic to act on, too technical to trust, or gone stale the moment a tool updates. Here's what actually gets in the way — and what we fix.

01

No time to figure it out

Between quotes, site visits and clients, there's no spare hour to test five AI tools and work out which sticks.

02

Nobody explains agents

"AI agent" gets thrown around constantly, but almost nobody shows what one is or how it fits a building or design business.

03

Advice goes stale fast

Tools and prices change monthly. A guide written in January is often wrong by June — ours is built to keep working.

Choose your track

Two recipe books. Pick the one that fits.

A recipe book, not a textbook. Each is 18 do-it-now recipes across 6 phases — what you'll need, the method, a copy-paste prompt, and exactly what you'll end up with. Your progress saves to your account.

Before you ask

Quick answers

Which track should I pick?

Builders, contractors and site-based businesses want the Builder Track (quotes, subbies, site admin, invoicing). Architectural designers and architects want the Designer Track (briefs, concepts, renders, consent & RFIs). Each unlocks only its own recipe book.

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you can copy and paste, you can do this. Every recipe gives you the exact prompt and step-by-step method — no coding, and the automation tools are all drag-and-drop.

Is it New Zealand–specific?

Yes. It's built around NZ building consent, NZS 3604, the Building Code and how councils actually work — not generic overseas advice.

Is AI safe to use for consent and pricing?

The golden rule throughout is “AI drafts, you decide.” You verify every Code value and every number at the source. AI speeds the work; you stay responsible for it.

How do I get access after I buy?

You'll get your own CAD Academy login. Your recipe book opens instantly, your progress saves to your account, and you can pick up on any device.

Can my team use it?

Yes — the later recipes cover rolling AI out to your team and sharing your agents, so it becomes how your whole business works.
