The numbers that run your business — live,not at month-end.
We build AI-native operating systems for New Zealand's construction SMEs. Margins, cashflow, pipeline and project health — updated as costs land, not three weeks after the job's finished.
Above: a CoreOne build, live in production at a New Zealand construction SME.
Most construction businesses are run on memory and a marker pen.
Scheduling lives on a whiteboard. Quotes live in one person's head. Job sheets get texted, lost and re-explained.
The owner becomes the single point of failure — every change, every reschedule, every "where's that job up to?" routes back through them.
Off-the-shelf software either ignores how the trade actually works or buries it in enterprise complexity nobody adopts.
We build the system your business should have been running on.
Enterprise capability, SME-sized.
Scheduling, quoting, job tracking, costing, mobile field tools and accounting integration — the depth of an enterprise platform, shaped to a small team.
AI at the core, not bolted on.
Your own historical quotes, rates and jobs become a competitive advantage — assisting quoting, surfacing margin trends, and cutting the admin that eats your week. Always with a human in the loop.
Customised to your process.
Roughly 80% proven core, 20% built around exactly how you work. No forcing your business into someone else's template.
One connected core. Better business decisions.
CoreOne is the platform we build your business on. Four connected layers — switch them on as you grow.
"Plan with clarity. Execute with confidence."
Every active project tracked against contract, budget and progress in real time. Spot the loss-makers and the thin-margin jobs before they hit the bank account.
One core. Total control.
See every dollar in your pipeline — before it becomes a job.
Track quotes from first contact to signed contract. Know your forecast, spot stalled deals and chase the right opportunities at the right time.
Kanban pipeline, real forecast
Every quote visible in its stage — New, Qualifying, Quoted, Negotiating, Won or Lost. The forecast updates instantly as deals move, so you know next month's revenue today.
Owner accountability
See who owns what, how long each quote has been sitting and which deals need follow-up. No more "I thought you were chasing that."
Customer context, always at hand
Site address, contact phone, quote value and sent date — all in one card. Click through to the full quote or the job record the moment it wins.
Win/loss tracking that teaches
Record why quotes were lost, spot patterns in pricing or timing and refine your quoting strategy based on real data, not gut feel.
Discovery first. Built with you, not at you.
Discover
We map how your business actually runs today: jobs, quotes, crews, gear, the lot. Detail in, surprises out.
Design
We spec each module and agree it before a line is built. You see it before you commit to it.
Build
Fast, iterative delivery. You get hands-on access early and shape it as it grows.
Run & evolve
A platform that keeps improving with your business, with the AI layer getting sharper the more you use it.
A working schedule view in the first week. A platform that fits in weeks, not a 12-month enterprise rollout.
Built for the trades, starting with concrete.
Our golden template was forged with a working concrete and excavation business — real crews, real pours, real margins. That same proven core now forks cleanly into building and other trades, customised each time.
From whiteboard to live, shared schedule.
A Nelson concrete contractor running 3–6 jobs a day moved from a whiteboard and a spreadsheet to a single live schedule, AI-assisted quoting from their own pricing history, and automatic Xero invoicing on job completion.
Named case studies and metrics will land here as they're ready.
Trade-fluent. Enterprise-grade.
We understand the trade.
We've sat in the ute, read the plans, and watched a pour go sideways. We build for how the work really happens.
We've done enterprise tech.
Deep experience scaling SMEs and turning analogue, founder-led operations into data-driven platforms — with the architecture discipline to back it.
That combination is rare. It's why the software fits.
New Zealand built. Top of the South.
Fareham Lane Consultancy is a New Zealand technology consultancy specialising in the construction sector. We partner closely with a small number of businesses at a time, because building software that genuinely fits takes real attention. Our work is grounded in the top of the South Island and delivered across Aotearoa.
