Trades contractors · Vancouver, BC
AI automation for Vancouver trades contractors.
Contracting in Vancouver means older houses, strata buildings, and a city permit process that adds paperwork to every serious job. Plumbing, electrical, roofing, and renovation firms here rarely run short of work. They run short of office hours to quote it, permit it, and bill it. We build systems that carry that paperwork, so the crews stay busy and the owner stops doing admin at night.
Permits are a project of their own.
A renovation in an older Vancouver house can mean a building permit, trade permits, inspections, and a stack of drawings moving between the homeowner, the designer, and the city. Somebody in the office tracks where each application sits, what the city asked for, and which inspection is next. Usually that somebody is the owner, working from a spreadsheet and memory. When a request for more information sits unanswered for a week, the whole job slides.
Strata work runs on someone else's rules.
Condo and strata buildings bring their own paperwork: certificates of insurance, elevator and loading bay bookings, building manager approvals, notices to residents, and invoices that need the right strata plan number before anyone pays them. Property managers send work orders in their own format and expect replies in theirs. Each job is small. The admin around it is not, and it repeats for every building on your list, each with a slightly different rule about who signs off and when.
What the Vancouver office gets back.
A system that tracks every permit application and inspection from the job file and flags what is waiting, and on whom. Strata work orders that arrive by email become scheduled jobs with the building's requirements attached, and the insurance certificate goes out with the booking request. Quotes for homeowners who are collecting three bids get followed up on schedule in your wording. Invoices go out with the details each property manager needs, so they get paid on the first submission.
Common questions.
Can a system keep track of our permits with the City of Vancouver?
It can track them from your side. We do not file anything with the city on your behalf. The system keeps a record of each application, what was submitted, what the city asked for, and the next inspection, and it reminds the right person before anything goes stale. Your team still submits and signs. What changes is that the status of every open permit is in one place, instead of in the owner's inbox.
Most of our work comes through property managers. Where does that fit?
That is often the best place to start. Property managers send steady work with consistent requirements, which makes the intake, scheduling, and billing around it easy to systematize. Faster, cleaner paperwork is also how you stay on their preferred vendor list.
Vancouver homeowners collect three quotes. Does follow-up actually change anything?
Often it is the whole difference. Plenty of jobs go to whoever answers clearly and checks in, not to the lowest price. A system makes sure every quote goes out promptly and gets a steady follow-up, so you stop losing work because nobody had time to pick up the phone.
What if it does not work?
The guarantee is simple: we add one full-time role of capacity within 90 days, or we keep working until we do.
