AI Powered Trade Business Growth

Build the agents that run your office.Own them. Stop renting somebody else's.

Every tradie you add grows the marketing, enquiries, quotes, invoices and admin behind them. Build an agent for each task and that work grows with the jobs, not with your wage bill or your week, so your hours go to the team and the clients. You already know how your business works. That was always the hard part. The part that needed code is the part that just disappeared.

A full hour, one on one, and it costs nothing. Built for owners already turning over $10k a month or more. Under that, the free Tradies App is the better place to start and you can come back to the call when you are there.

Player to coach

The best players become coaches. That's the job now.

A pro athlete gets great at the sport, then teaches it. A trade business with a team asks the same of its owner. The skill that built it is what your team needs from you.

Before

The team runs through the owner

  • Every quote
  • Every schedule change
  • Every invoice
  • Every enquiry
  • Every question from the crew

One person. Every hour.

The team can only grow as far as the owner's week. Add a tradie and the owner gets busier, not freer.

After

You coach the team

Agents run

  • Marketing
  • Sales
  • Operations
  • Admin

Your tradies run

  • The jobs

Your hours go to

  • Coaching your team
  • Your clients

Add a tradie and the business grows. Your week doesn't.

  1. 01

    Systemise the work

    Write down how your team quotes, runs and invoices a job, once. Then it stops living in your head.

  2. 02

    Build an agent for each task

    Marketing, enquiries, quotes, invoices, scheduling. Each one gets an agent that does it.

  3. 03

    Grow the team and coach it

    The next hire goes on the tools, not in the office. Your hours go into your tradies and your clients.

The Advantage

Every Industry Is Being Repriced. Yours Is The Exception.

This is the part nobody has told you, and it is the reason the next two years matter more for a trade business than for anyone else.

Exposed

  • The bookkeeper reconciling your accounts
  • The agency writing your ads on numbers it cannot see
  • The draftsman marking up your plans
  • The copywriter, the designer, the admin assistant
  • Anyone whose whole product was sitting at a computer

Safe

  • Nobody is replacing your tradies on the tools
  • Nobody is replacing the hands that do the work on site
  • Nobody is replacing the person the customer actually called
  • A licence, two hands and a van cannot be downloaded
  • Your chargeable hour is the safest in the country
So you are the one industry that gets all of the upside and none of the exposure.The work you charge for is untouched. Everything around it, the quoting, the chasing, the scheduling, the marketing, the reporting, the hiring, is now work you can hand to agents you build yourself. The businesses that build this year will run on a cost base the ones that wait cannot compete with.

What You Build

Four Things. You Build Every One Of Them Yourself.

This is not a list of AI tools to sign up to. It is what you will be able to build, and own, with nobody charging you a licence fee to keep using it.

One

Set Up Your AI

Agentic AI wired into your business, your accounts and your own numbers. Not a chatbot you paste questions into. A setup that can see your jobs, your costs and your customers, and act on them.

Replaces the consultant who sets it up and then bills you every month to keep it running.

Two

Build Your Agents

Any task that gets done on a computer, handed to an agent that does it on its own and keeps doing it. Quoting. Chasing money. Scheduling. Follow-ups. Reporting. You build it once, in plain English, and it turns up every day.

Replaces the hours you do after dinner, and the subscription that does 60% of the job.

Three

Own Your Growth

Your website, your ads and your sales pipeline, run by you on your own numbers. You will know your real cost per lead, because you can see it, and you will change the ad yourself the same afternoon you decide to.

Replaces the agency retainer, and the wait for someone else to make the change.

Four

Build Your Business's Brain

Your own app, fully branded to you, and the document set behind it. One place that runs every agent, every process and every system in the business, built around how your business actually works rather than how somebody else assumed it would.

A development shop quotes $30,000 to $80,000 for this. You build it and you own it.

You are not starting from a blank screen.The route is already written: the Pathway takes you through it in order, the Systems Library hands you 270 systems that each come with the prompt that builds them, and your own connection lets your AI read your real business data. You will pay for the AI itself, about what one piece of business software costs you now. You will not pay a licence fee to us or to anyone for what you build with it.

Individual results. Where a member is quoted, it is in their own words. What any owner gets out of this depends on their business and the work they put in, and any cost or saving named here is an example rather than a quote for your business. Results vary.

How It Works

A Route, A Library, And Your Own Numbers.

Three things that make the difference between learning about AI and having something running by Friday.

The Pathway

Six phases and 21 build steps, in order. You are never deciding what to do next, which is the reason most owners stall on step one and call it a lack of time.

The Systems Library

270 published systems, each one filed against a seat on your org chart, and each one carrying the written prompt that builds it. You are not starting from a blank screen and a good intention.

Your own connection

The bit almost nobody sets up: your AI reading your real jobs, your real costs and your real customers. Advice from a chatbot that cannot see your numbers is a guess with good grammar.

Built By Members

Tradies, Not Developers.

Six things built by trade business owners, in their own words, from the app and from AI Club sessions. Not one of them writes code for a living.

SOPs, admin process, role KPIs and 90 day onboarding plans.

“Always struggled to get traction implementing systems and setting up all my software to operate effectively. After doing the Ai club I have done more in a month and a half than 8 years of business.”

Michael, carpenter

A job ad that brought 600 applicants and seven hires.

“We needed staff for the upcoming contract. Used Claude to polish our job ad and got over 600 applicants in 30 days. Hired 7 staff this round. Growing our team isn’t a bottleneck anymore.”

Jay, builder

Every quote checked for margin and markup before it goes out.

“I ran my quotes through Claude and got them analyzed for proper margins and markups. Set up my terms and conditions too. I’ve started pricing profitably now and the quotes are getting accepted.”

Mathew, carpenter

A finance handover built the day his bookkeeper cut her hours.

“Claude made us a complete Handover document that itemises who needs to do what and when, all key dates for IAS and Bas submissions, who needs to send statements, who needs to upload receipts. I feel like i am really clear on the financial reporting process and obligations of the business now.”

Tom, electrician

A voice-operated assistant that runs his day.

“It can tell me leads that I have to get in touch with, draft emails. And all completely voice operated.”

Mitchell, flooring

Review replies written off the real job detail.

“Nails the reply first go most of the time. Pulls real detail from SimPro, the employee, the service, the suburb, so the reply references the actual job, not generic fluff.”

Byron and Amy, plumbing

Individual results. Where a member is quoted, it is in their own words. What any owner gets out of this depends on their business and the work they put in, and any cost or saving named here is an example rather than a quote for your business. Results vary.

In the room

This Is What Working With Us Looks Like

Not a webinar and not a recording. Owners from different trades in the room, and the thing getting built while everyone is still sitting there.

What You Own

Stop Paying, And You Keep The Lot.

Stop paying a software company and you lose the product. Every template, every workflow and every customer record stays behind their login.

Stop paying for AI and you keep every system, every document and every line it wrote for you. The agents, the app, the data: yours.

You will still pay for the AI itself, about the size of one piece of business software you already pay for. What you will not pay is a licence fee, to us or to anyone, for what you build with it. That is the difference between tuition and rent.

What growth really costs

Triple the jobs and you triple everything else.

Every hour on site drags non billable work behind it, on the tools and in the office. Grow the jobs and the marketing, enquiries, emails, quotes and invoices grow at the same rate.

Worked example. Each tradie costs $100,000 a year: an $80,000 wage plus 25% on-costs. 5% of their paid hours go on admin; travel is left out, because no agent drives the ute. The owner is paid $150,000. Office staffing is typical for a trade business at 3 and 9 tradies. At 1 tradie the owner does all of it, about half their work. Put your own team in.

Old way

Hire for it

Admin $70kAgencyOps manager, sales + 2 admins $440k
  • The work
  • What you pay for
  • Paid, and idle

An admin person, then an agency, then an ops manager. Each one is a wage or a retainer, paid in the quiet weeks the same as the busy ones.

New way

An agent for each task

  • The work
  • What the agents do

Three times the quotes, it writes three times the quotes. A quiet month, it does a quiet month. It grows with the work, however far you grow.

The two charts show the shape of each cost, not measured figures.

Measured

So every tradie you add goes on the tools, and the office doesn't grow with them. That's how you grow the team without growing your week.

Questions

The Ones Owners Actually Ask.

I am not technical. Am I going to be able to do this?
The hard part of building a business system is knowing how the business actually works, and you have known that for twenty years. The part that needed code is the part that just disappeared. You describe what you want in plain English and it gets built. Every member in the list above is a trade business owner, not a developer.
I have no time. That is the whole problem.
That is exactly why the old way stopped working. You would learn something, agree it was right, and never get a Sunday to build it. An agent is built once and then turns up every day without you. The first one usually takes an afternoon, and it is the last time you do that job.
You are telling me to stop paying subscriptions, and you charge a monthly fee.
Fair, so here is the whole answer including the part that costs you money. You will pay for the AI itself, which is a subscription about the size of one piece of business software you already pay for, and there are a couple of free accounts to set up behind it. We are not pretending that away. What you will not pay is a licence fee to us or to anyone for what you build with it. You own the agents, the app, the documents and the data, and if you stop paying us tomorrow you keep every bit of it. That is the difference between tuition and rent, and it is a smaller claim than "no more subscriptions" because the smaller one is true.
Does this replace the pricing, hiring and systems coaching?
No, and it never will. Pricing, hiring, systems, the numbers and the admin are still the outcome, and they are still what we have taught 9,000+ owners over ten years. What changed is that you now implement them at a speed that was not available before.
Will AI take my trade?
No. Nobody is replacing the person on the tools doing the work the customer actually called about. That is precisely why a trade business is the best-positioned business in the country right now: the work you charge for is safe, and everything around it is now yours to automate.
Where do I actually start?
The AI Discovery Session. A full hour, one on one, on what AI would do in your business, which part is worth building first, and how fast the Pathway gets you there. It costs nothing, and we will talk you through the training, the programs and the tools that get you there. It is built for owners already turning over $10k a month or more. Under that, start on the free Tradies App and book the call once you are there.
