TektaiThe job spec, as a PDF
A full specification of works in the order a builder expects: scope, finishes, approvals, hazards, budget and programme. What isn't known yet is marked, never made up.
Meet Foreman, your AI site boss
Hire an AI foreman for your build
Tell Foreman what you want built or renovated. It checks your block and the local rules, then its team of agents prices the job, finds licensed tradies and gets the quotes in. You just tap the few things only you can do.
Now in beta in NSW, Australia. More places soon.
How it works
You say what you want. Foreman's team does the legwork.
No forms to wade through and no 40-step checklist. Foreman runs the job like a good site boss, and only comes to you when it really needs you.

What Foreman does
Everything a good foreman would, without the chasing
Checked licences
Every tradie and professional is checked on official registers before you hear about them, with a licence badge you can trust.
Branded quote emails
Clear, well-formatted emails with your job details and exactly what to quote for. You preview and OK each one first.
Compare quotes
Foreman reads the replies, pulls out the price, inclusions and exclusions, and lines the quotes up side by side.
Notifications that matter
A nudge when Foreman needs you, a quote is in or the plan is ready. Quiet hours overnight, and updates bundled so your phone isn't buzzing all day.
"Where it's at"
One glance tells you what's on track, what's holding things up and the next step, from feasibility right through to handover.
AI cost, shown openly
See what Foreman's work has cost on your job, by task and by day. No mystery fees.
Just talk to it
The Tell Foreman bar is on every screen. Speak or type, and Foreman reads back what it heard before acting.
You stay in charge
Built to be trusted with your home
Foreman does the running around. The decisions, the money and your details stay with you.
Nothing goes out without your OK
Every email to a tradie, every time your contact details are shared and every quote accepted is a tap from you. Foreman never pays anyone and never signs anything.
Rules are guidance, with sources
Every rule links to the official page. Your certifier or council makes the final call, and Foreman says so plainly.
Your street address never goes to the AI
Your address goes to NSW Government planning services only. The AI gets your suburb and the property facts, and our code checks it every time.
Checked on official NSW registers
Licences and registrations are looked up on official NSW Government registers, not taken on someone's word.
While Tektai is in beta, test mode sends quote emails to you instead of real tradies, so you can see exactly what they'd get. See our privacy page for what we store and where.
