Commercial Plumbing
How a commercial plumbing business automated an estimated 75% of their 12-step estimating process and email infrastructure, recovering an estimated 59 hours per week with 2 specialised AI workflows.
What this plumbing business was dealing with before AI.
The team was spending the majority of their working week on repetitive administrative tasks that followed the same patterns every time. These weren't complex decisions requiring human judgement. They were predictable, rule-based processes that happened to consume significant hours.
Complex 12-Step Estimating
20+ hours per week on a 12-step estimating process. Detecting new jobs, downloading documents, processing drawings, creating quotes, and managing follow-ups all done manually.
Email Overload
39+ hours per week managing supplier communication, builder correspondence, sorting incoming emails, and drafting responses. No automated triage or follow-up sequences.
What the AI Roadmap uncovered.
We started with a 2-week process audit. Mapped every repeatable workflow, timed them, and quantified the cost. We spoke to the people doing the work, not just management.
The audit revealed an estimated 3,068 hrs/yr being consumed by processes that followed predictable patterns. These were the same steps, executed the same way, hundreds of times per month.
The estimated potential: $123K+ /yr in estimated annual savings by automating the highest-impact workflows first.
2 AI workflows. Built from their SOPs.
Each workflow was designed from the team's actual standard operating procedures. Connected to their existing tools. Human checkpoints at every critical decision point. Nothing goes out without approval.
Automated Email Infrastructure System
Auto-sorts incoming emails, generates contextual responses, manages follow-up sequences for quotes and tenders, handles supplier communication. Estimated 39+ hours per week reduced to 3-4 hours.
Comprehensive Estimating Automation
12-step estimating process automated: detects new jobs, downloads docs, processes drawings, creates quotes, manages follow-ups. AI handles an estimated 85%, human QA on quantity take-offs and scope writing.
