What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, I was spending Fridays reconciling invoices for our deck projects—easily 15 hours gone chasing partial payments on pressure-treated lumber costs. Now, the system pulls data from my site notes, including weather delays and subcontractor logs, and sends bills automatically. We've cut that time in half, payments come in two weeks faster, and our crew completes 15% more jobs without cash crunches. It's a game-changer for keeping our small team focused on builds, not paperwork."

Mike Reynolds

Owner, Reynolds Custom Decks & Outdoor Living

"Our kitchen remodel jobs always had change order nightmares, with manual updates leading to underbilling by 10-15% on granite countertops and cabinet installs. After implementing their custom automation three months ago, errors dropped to zero, and we're seeing an extra $20K in annual revenue from accurate, timely invoicing that includes detailed breakdowns of plumbing tie-ins. The setup matched our workflow perfectly—no learning curve, and disputes with clients vanished."

Sarah Patel

Operations Manager, Patel Kitchen & Bath Remodels

"I run a three-man crew doing custom furniture installs for whole-home renovations, and chasing payments was killing our momentum—especially for oak custom pieces that tied up $2K in materials. AIQ's solution integrated with our QuickBooks seamlessly two months back, automating everything from material logs to client approvals via mobile photos. Saved us about 10 hours a week, our cash flow is steady now, and we no longer dip into savings for supplies—revenue up 18% this quarter."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle variable costs in custom carpentry jobs?

We design the AI to pull dynamic pricing from your supplier databases and job specs, adjusting invoices in real-time for fluctuations in wood prices or design changes. For instance, if a client upgrades to oak instead of pine mid-project, the system recalculates automatically, ensuring accuracy without manual tweaks. This mirrors the unpredictability of on-site work, saving you from post-job disputes. Our approach has helped carpenters maintain 95% billing precision, directly boosting profitability by avoiding undercharges.

Will this integrate with my existing tools like QuickBooks or Jobber?

Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way API integrations tailored to home services software. For carpenters using QuickBooks, we sync invoice data bidirectionally, pulling job costs and pushing approved bills seamlessly. With Jobber, it automates from scheduling to payment tracking. No more copy-pasting between apps. In one recent project, a framing crew saw their end-of-month reconciliation drop from 8 hours to 30 minutes, all while maintaining full data ownership without subscription dependencies.

What kind of time savings can I realistically expect?

Based on our deployments with similar trades, carpenters typically save 20-25 hours per week on invoicing tasks. This comes from automating data entry for materials and labor, plus instant generation of client-ready bills. One client, handling 15 custom installs monthly, went from 4-hour billing sessions per job to under 20 minutes. The ROI hits quickly—often within 3 months—through faster payments and reduced admin overhead, allowing more focus on high-value crafting and client relationships.

Is the system secure for sensitive client and financial data?

Security is paramount, especially for trades dealing with residential projects. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and compliance with standards like GDPR and SOC 2. Your invoice data, including client addresses and payment details, stays protected in a custom, owned environment—not scattered across third-party clouds. We've audited systems for 50+ home services firms, ensuring no breaches, so you can trust it handles everything from deposit tracking to final liens without risk.

How long does it take to set up and see results?

Setup is streamlined: we map your workflow in week one, build and test the prototype in weeks two to four, then deploy with training. Full operation kicks in by month two, with immediate time savings on your next jobs. A cabinetry shop we worked with started automating invoices within 45 days, seeing a 40% cash flow improvement by month three. It's not a long haul; our process is proven to deliver quick wins while building a scalable foundation for your growing business.

Can this scale if my carpentry business expands to more crews?

Yes, our systems are engineered for scalability from the ground up. As you add crews or take on larger projects like commercial fit-outs, the AI adapts—handling increased invoice volumes without performance dips. We use robust frameworks that support 10x growth, like auto-scaling for multi-site data sync. One expanding firm went from 5 to 20 jobs monthly post-implementation, maintaining under 5% error rates and saving an additional 10 hours weekly per new team member.
