THE PROBLEM

Every SMB owner knows they should be using AI.
Almost none know how.

🛠️

You're drowning in admin

Quoting takes hours. Crews chase you for direction. Clients want status updates. Your inbox is a swamp. You can't hire your way out — labour is too expensive and good admin is too rare.

💸

AI tools without strategy waste money

You've tried ChatGPT. Maybe Zapier. Maybe a chatbot from a freelancer. None of it joined up. None of it actually replaced the work it was supposed to. Tools without an operating model are just expensive toys.

Your competitors are moving

The first builder in your region to install a proper AI Operating System will quote faster, deliver more, and cost less to run. In 24 months, this is table stakes. In the next 12, it's a real edge.

WHY KEIGHTLEY CONSULTING

Built by an operator, not a consultant.

Most AI consultants are course graduates with a deck and a Notion template. We've been in production for 2 years — running a fully AI-augmented marketing agency that supports 7 active clients on a stack of Claude, Composio, Apify, scheduled tasks, multi-platform integration, and team automation.

Before that, 12 years in construction across New Zealand — 5 years on the tools as a builder, 7 years in construction management. We've sat on both sides — the trades floor and the AI terminal. The system being installed at your business is the same one we run ourselves.

We speak both languages: the trades, and the tech.

⚒️

Real production reps

7 live client operations running on our own AI Operating System. Real revenue, real ROI, real measured time-savings — not theoretical case studies.

🏗️

Construction insider

12 years in the industry — started on the tools at 16, moved into construction management at 22. We understand quoting, scheduling, foremen, subcontractors, suppliers, council inspections, and Xero reconciliation — not just theoretical SMB pain points.

🛠️

Anthropic-certified, production-deep

Anthropic-certified in Claude Code (May 2026). Production-level fluency with Claude Managed Agents, Claude API, Claude Skills, Agent SDK, Composio multi-platform integration, Apify, Airtable, Notion automation. Cognitive architecture and persistent memory in production for 2 years. Not a ChatGPT wrapper.

Fixed pricing, defined scope

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Common Questions

What's the half-rate pilot offer?

We're taking three pilot clients at 50% off our standard rate in exchange for case study rights. The work and deliverables are identical to a full-rate engagement; we just get to publicly document the outcome — methods, metrics, and what we'd do differently. NZ construction sector first. Pilot spots are awarded on operational fit, not first-come.

Do you work outside Auckland?

Yes. We work with SMBs across New Zealand and Australia. Discovery workshops can be conducted in person or over video call. Tier 2 and Tier 3 engagements include regular onsite visits regardless of location.

What's the payment structure?

50% deposit to begin work, 50% on delivery of final report or solution. Larger engagements (Tier 3) use milestone-based payments. All prices in NZD, exclude GST.

Can I upgrade tiers later?

Absolutely. Many clients start with a Tier 1 Assessment, then move into Tier 2 Implementation based on the roadmap we produce. Fees already paid are credited toward the higher tier if you upgrade within 90 days of completing your initial engagement.

What happens after the engagement?

Every engagement includes comprehensive handover documentation and team training. For ongoing support, we offer monthly Growth and Scale Retainer packages. Tier 2 and Tier 3 also include a 30-day post-delivery support window at no extra charge.

Why construction and trades specifically?

Quinton spent 12 years in construction — 5 years on the tools as a builder, 7 years in construction management — before pivoting to running a fully AI-augmented marketing & sales agency. The trades vertical is years behind tech and finance on AI adoption, the operational pain is severe, and the budgets are real. We also work with SMB operators in adjacent industries.
