The "Scattered Knowledge" Problem
Forgetting custom client finish preferences, such as oil vs. polyurethane on oak cabinetry, mid-kitchen remodel project
Crew misreading handwritten cut lists for precise miter joints on crown molding at job sites
Spending evenings recreating safety protocols for new hires
Losing track of supplier specs for exotic hardwoods like Brazilian cherry or teak in custom millwork projects
Manual updates to installation guides after code changes
Manual updates to installation guides for stair railings after local building code changes on handrail heights
Our Custom Knowledge Base Built for Your Carpentry Workflow
With over a decade in home services automation, we've empowered 200+ trades teams to own their expertise without the chaos of fragmented notes.
Why Choose Us
We craft a tailored AI knowledge base that ingests your shop drawings, client histories, and tool manuals into a searchable, always-updated system. No more digging through file cabinets or email chains. Your team pulls up exact dovetail measurements or stain matching guides via voice query on the job site. It's enterprise-grade, integrated directly with your scheduling software, ensuring compliance with the latest building codes while adapting to your unique projects—like custom built-ins or restoration work. Built from the ground up, this isn't a plug-and-play tool; it's your carpentry playbook, digitized and intelligent.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Cost Savings Tailored to Your Shop
Reclaim 15-25 Hours Weekly on Admin
Reclaim 15-25 hours weekly on admin tasks: Manual note-taking during jobs like crown molding installs eats time. Our system auto-generates searchable guides with blueprints and cut diagrams, letting your crew focus on precise bevel cuts. Industry benchmarks from the National Association of Home Builders show carpenters save 20 hours weekly, boosting billable time by 25% and delivering ROI within six months through increased project throughput.
Slash Rework Costs by 40%
Slash rework costs by 40%: Misremembered specs on trim profiles lead to scrapped walnut boards and two-day delays. With instant mobile access to proven templates and material swatches, errors drop dramatically. One mid-sized cabinetry firm avoided $2,000 in material waste per quarter on bathroom vanities. Efficiency gains compound over multiple remodels, turning your specialized knowledge into a scalable competitive edge.
Boost Productivity with On-Demand Expertise
Boost productivity with on-demand expertise: New apprentices ramp up faster with AI-guided video tutorials on techniques like pocket-hole joinery for baseboards. Shorten on-site training from weeks to days while upholding your craftsmanship standards. Home services productivity studies from Builder Magazine report 35% surges, freeing foremen for more client walkthroughs and upselling opportunities.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd waste half a day digging through dusty file cabinets for old project notes on a tricky curved staircase build in a historic Victorian home. Now, the knowledge base pulls up exact baluster spacing and newel post specs in seconds—saved us 10 hours last week alone on that restoration job, keeping us on schedule for the client."
Mike Harlan
Lead Carpenter, Harlan Custom Woodworks LLC
"Our team was constantly rehashing finish schedules for every kitchen remodel, from shaker-style cabinets to quartz counter edges. This system organizes it all automatically with tagged photo references, and we've cut client follow-up calls by 60% on stain mismatches. It's like having a second foreman who never forgets the custom Sherwin-Williams color codes."
Sarah Ruiz
Owner and Principal Designer, Ruiz Fine Carpentry & Design
"We integrated our supplier catalogs for exotic species seamlessly—no more ordering the wrong grade of quartersawn white oak mid-project on a lakeside deck. Implementation took just three weeks with minimal downtime, and it's already paid for itself by avoiding $1,500 in mistakes on two big composite deck builds this season."

Our engineers construct your AI knowledge base, ingesting documents and training it on your specifics. We integrate with tools like your project tracker, creating a unified hub for everything from tool maintenance logs to client wood preferences.
Deployment and Optimization
Roll out with team training, then monitor usage on real jobs. We refine based on feedback, ensuring it evolves—like auto-updating for new sanding techniques—delivering ongoing efficiency without the hassle.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this knowledge base handle our unique carpentry projects?
We tailor it completely to your workflow. Starting with a deep dive into your shop practices, we train the AI on specifics like your go-to mortise techniques or client-favorite cherry finishes. It learns from your documents and evolves with usage, pulling relevant info for a custom mantel project in seconds. Unlike generic systems, it doesn't force a one-size-fits-all; it's built to mirror how you measure twice and cut once, saving hours on repetitive lookups while adapting to seasonal demands like outdoor decking.
What kind of time savings can carpenters expect?
Expect 15-25 hours reclaimed weekly. For instance, instead of sifting through binders for a past staircase rail detail, query the AI and get it instantly. Benchmarks from similar trades show 30% faster project starts, with one carpenter reporting 12 hours saved on a single remodel by avoiding rework. It's not just speed—it's precision that cuts material waste by 20%, directly hitting your bottom line in a competitive field.
Is this secure for sensitive client designs?
Absolutely, we prioritize ironclad security. Using enterprise-grade encryption, your custom blueprints and client notes stay protected, with role-based access so only authorized crew sees full specs. We've built in compliance for home services standards, like data isolation for proprietary joinery methods. No cloud vulnerabilities here—it's on your owned system, audited regularly to prevent breaches that could expose a high-end kitchen design.
How long does implementation take for a small carpentry shop?
Typically 4-6 weeks for a team of 5-15. Week one: assess your current notes and tools. Weeks two-three: build and ingest data, like scanning old job folders. Final weeks: test on a live project, such as a built-in cabinet install, with training. We minimize disruption—your shop keeps running while we work remotely. Post-launch, we optimize for a month, ensuring it handles real scenarios like urgent trim matches without a hitch.
Can it integrate with our existing scheduling or invoicing software?
Yes, we specialize in seamless two-way integrations. For example, link it to your scheduler so pulling a job card auto-loads relevant knowledge, like hardware specs for doors. With invoicing, it flags material notes to streamline billing. No brittle connections—our custom APIs ensure data flows reliably, reducing errors by 40% as seen in other trades. It's designed for tools common in carpentry, like QuickBooks or Jobber, without the subscription sprawl.
What if our team isn't tech-savvy?
We make it intuitive, like using a tape measure. The interface supports voice commands for dusty workshops—no typing required during a glue-up. Onboarding includes hands-on sessions, teaching queries like 'best finish for oak in humid climates.' We've helped non-tech crews in similar trades adopt it effortlessly, with 90% usage within weeks. It's empowering, not overwhelming, turning your expertise into accessible smarts for everyone from apprentices to foremen.
