For New Zealand plumbers

AI for plumbers and gasfitters in New Zealand

A plumbing business doesn't lose money on the tools — it loses money in the two hours after them. The callout is done by four, and then the quote gets written at eight at night, the invoice goes out three days late because the job sheet is a photo on a phone, and the account from a fortnight ago hasn't been chased because nobody wants to make that call.

Sound familiar?

Quotes written after dinner, from notes you can barely read
Job photos scattered across a phone camera roll with no job attached
Gas and backflow certificates that have to be findable years later
After-hours callouts triaged by whoever picks up

Why this is worth fixing

Every one of those is a pattern-matching job, not a judgement job. Reading a job note and turning it into a priced quote against your own rates, watching an invoice pass its due date and sending a firm-but-polite follow-up, filing a gas certificate against the right property — that's exactly the work an AI does well, and exactly the work that's eating your evenings.

What we'd build for plumbers

A starting blueprint for your plumbing business, assembled from the workflows that fit this trade. It isn't a fixed package — we shape it around how you actually work — but this is the shape it usually takes.

Instant quote drafting

Snap photos or dictate notes on site and get a priced, on-brand quote back in minutes.

Now: ~40 min per quote, done at night
With AI: ~5 min, done on site

Client document intake

Clients are guided to send exactly the right documents, and the AI extracts and organises the data.

Now: endless email back-and-forth
With AI: clean data, first time

Automated payment chasing

Polite, personalised reminders fire on their own until an invoice is paid — no awkward phone calls.

Now: invoices forgotten for weeks
With AI: paid ~40% faster, hands-off

Lead qualification & routing

Enquiries are qualified, priced-ballparked and routed so you only spend time on the ones worth having.

Now: chasing tyre-kickers
With AI: only real leads reach you

Proof, not a pitch deck

We didn't just write about this — we built it

Quarvois our own platform, running a real New Zealand business every day: quoting, scheduling, invoicing, bank reconciliation and a full set of accounts, with an AI manager called Torq sitting across the whole thing. It runs on our own GPU hardware in New Zealand — so the data never leaves the country, and there's no per-token bill to a US API.

That's the difference between a consultancy that talks about AI and one that ships it. Everything on this page is something we've actually had to make work in production.

AI for plumbers — common questions

Can AI write plumbing quotes using my own prices?

Yes — that's the point. It works off your rate card and your materials pricing, not a generic guess. You dictate or photograph what the job needs, and it comes back as a priced, on-brand quote you check and send. You stay in control of the number; it just does the typing and the maths.

Will it handle gas certificates and compliance paperwork?

It files them. Certificates, producer statements and job records get attached to the right job and property automatically, so when someone asks for a document from two years ago you can actually find it. We don't sign anything off — the certification is still yours; the filing and retrieval is the part we take off you.

I'm a one-man band. Is this overkill?

Sole operators usually get the most out of it, because you're the one doing the quoting, invoicing and chasing on top of the actual work. There's no team to absorb the admin. We scale what we build to the size of the business — a solo plumber doesn't need what a ten-van outfit needs.
