Helping contractors put AI to work

We help contracting businesses adopt AI that actually works, from strategy to hands-on implementation. Practical systems, real results, no hype.

We build on the tools you already run.

The strategy.
The integration.
The engineering.

Our baseline services.
Built from your audit, not off a shelf.

Every engagement starts with the Growth Audit. From there we choose from our baseline services: tender intelligence, lead reactivation, estimation engines, document processing, and more, based on what your business actually needs.

Estimation Engine

Takeoffs and quotes from your specs and pricing history — hours, not days.

Tender Intelligence

Finds and qualifies the tenders actually worth your bid.

Speed to Lead

Every enquiry answered in minutes, not after the weekend.

Lead Reactivation

Revives dead quotes sitting in your CRM.

Document Processing

Plans, invoices, and change orders parsed into clean, structured data.

Referral Engine

Turns happy past clients into a steady stream of referred work.

Reputation Engine

Reviews collected on autopilot after every handover.

Online Presence & Demand Gen

AEO and paid ads for productised residential work.

Custom Web Design

Conversion-focused websites built for residential trades.

Your data,
finally in one place.

Subcontractor bids. Client text threads. Material logs. Design files. We unify what is scattered across apps and inboxes into one structured, searchable system.

New, focused,
and honest about it.

TrussUp is new. That is exactly why we lead with results, not long retainers. Lead Reactivation is pay on results and the Growth Audit is free. We earn the ongoing work by delivering on the first piece.

About

Who's behind TrussUp.

I'm Junnel Narrido, the founder — four years in applied AI, the last one building production AI systems.

I chose construction because it is one of the least AI-adopted industries anywhere: 79% of construction companies have never touched AI or have only run limited tests. The builders who systemise first get an outsized advantage, and my job is to hand it to them.

Every example build on this page runs inside TrussUp first. If I would not run it in my own business, I will not put it in yours.

Questions worth answering

What is TrussUp? +

TrussUp is an AI consultancy that builds and manages AI systems for residential builders and developers: custom home builders, renovation experts, and residential developers. We are not a web agency or a marketing agency. We build systems around how your business actually runs: estimating, scheduling, client change requests, and subcontractor coordination.

Why the construction niche? +

Statistics show 79% of construction companies have not touched AI at all, or have only run limited tests — it is one of the least AI-adopted industries anywhere. That gap is the opportunity: the builders who systemise first get an outsized advantage, and we want to be the team that hands it to them.

Who is this for? +

Custom home builders, renovation experts, residential developers, and related home services trades. The best fit is a business established enough to have real project history and a working process, but under systemised on the back office. If you are brand new with no project history yet, this is not the right time.

What happens in the free Growth Audit? +

A 30 minute call where we map your bidding, scheduling, and client communication process to find where AI can save you 15 to 20 hours a week, and what to build first. No pushy sales, just system advice.

Do you build websites or run ad campaigns? +

Yes, where they genuinely fit. Custom web design, online presence and AI engine optimisation, and paid ads for productised residential work are all baseline services we can build — not standalone products we push on everyone.

How does pricing work? +

It depends on the system. Some run on a monthly subscription, some are pay on results, some are a setup fee plus an ongoing retainer. We explain the exact model for your situation during the Architect step. No hidden numbers, no long contracts you cannot see the shape of.

What is the Architect step? +

After the free Audit, the Architect step is a fixed fee system architecture and implementation blueprint. This is the point where you become a client and we scope exactly what gets built.

Who is behind TrussUp? +

Junnel Narrido, founder. Four years in applied AI, one year building production AI systems. TrussUp is new and focused, which is why we lead with results instead of long retainers.

Do you manage the systems after they launch? +

Yes. Manage and Optimise is the fourth step of every engagement: ongoing monitoring and tuning so the system keeps working as your business changes. We stay in the seat with you.

Your back office should not run on spreadsheets and group chats.
