Fire & Hydraulic BIM production · Auckland, NZ

Fire shop drawings,
faster.

An engineer-led BIM team that plugs into your fire operation when work spikes — sprinkler, hydrant, penetrations, shop drawings — and automates the repetitive drafting away.

The problem

Growing fire workbooks all hit the same wall: drafting.

01

Spikes

Installation wins land faster than drafters can be hired. The work arrives in waves — never a steady line.

02

Consistency

Every region — and every acquisition — drafts a little differently. The packages shouldn't show it.

03

Programme risk

Shop drawings sit on the critical path of someone else's build programme. Late drawings cost far more than drafting does.

04

The fix isn't a hire

Capacity you can switch on and off beats a permanent seat you have to keep busy.

The offer

Start free. Pay for results. Scale on demand.

Three steps in — every one of them de-risked. You see the value before you commit a dollar.

Free automation sprint

Our in-house developer adapts one of our Revit automation tools to your fire workflow — free, and yours to keep either way.

Pilot at full transparent rates

One real package at full, transparent rates — you pay only if it's issue-ready.

Standing overflow

Plug us in when fire work spikes — out the moment it passes.

One partner We take on one overflow partner — and go deep.

01

Sprint

A free automation sprint proves value before you spend anything.

02

Pilot under your title block

One live package, your templates and standards — pay only if it's issue-ready.

03

Scale

Turn capacity up when the workbook spikes, down when it passes.

04

Protected

A signed letter — we never approach your clients. All white-label.

Proof — tools

Tools we built — and will build for you.

Real tools from our automation stack, doing the repetitive drafting. Tap any tile to watch it run.

Penetration coordination

SleevePilot™

Sprinkler and hydrant penetration and sleeve set-outs, dimensioned straight from the model.

Clash detection

ZeroClash™ Engine

Clash detection across the federated model — issues surface before the meeting.

Quantity extraction

TakeOffs

Pipe lengths, fitting counts and schedules pulled straight from the model.

Automated dimensioning

GridSetout™

Automated penetration dimensioning and grid set-out, consistent across the set.

Proof — live model

The standard your fire packages get.

A construction-level building-services model we delivered — live in your browser. Site crews scan a QR on the drawing and the model opens on the spot — no CAD seats.

How we work

Under your name. To your standards.

White-label production that behaves like your own drawing office — without the permanent seats.

01

Your standards

Your templates, title block and file structure — drawings come back ready to issue.

02

Engineer-led coordination

We make routing calls in coordination meetings — not just push pixels.

03

Design stays yours

Fire design and certification stay with your engineers. We carry the production load.

04

Opt out anytime

If we're not adding the value you want, you walk. No lock-in — value first.
