The AI team your business actually needs.

No tech-bro attitude. You stay on the tools. We come in, find where you're losing time and money, and put AI to work fixing it.

15 min on the phone. No pitch, no jargon, or just leave your number and Matt calls you.

First intake open: founding clients work straight with the founders.

Sound familiar?

The work was never the problem. It's everything around it.

An overwhelmed tradie at his desk, head in hands, buried in paperwork
This is the bit eating your nights.
01

Quotes go out slow

And the faster bloke down the road wins the job you should've had…

02

The phone beats you

You're up a ladder, it rings out, and that lead's gone to whoever picked up…

03

Software you don't use

You pay for AroFlo or ServiceM8 and run a quarter of it. Nobody had time to set it up…

04

Your office is drowning

One person holding it together, and quietly worried the new tech is coming for their job…

05

Burned once already

You tried an "AI consultant". Got a chatbot you never touched, or a fifty-grand pitch…

The maths

The wins a half-day on site usually turns up.

This isn't a list of what you're doing wrong. It's the time, calls and money already sitting in your business, waiting for someone to come and get it.

What you actually get

We don't sell you software. We do the job for you.

One crew, three promises. The thing you've been missing is someone who turns up, knows your trade, and owns the result.

01

We turn up

Real people, on your site and in your office, not a login or a chat window. Matt walks your floor. Jayden builds it. You get a number you can actually ring.

02

We speak tradie

We know how a quote turns into an invoice. We know AroFlo, Simpro and ServiceM8. We've built real quoting tools that already run in our own Sydney firm. Nobody's going to make you feel thick.

03

We carry the risk

Money back on the audit if we don't find the goods. A 90-day result we put in writing. You take the upside; we wear the risk.

How it works

Three steps. Zero risk. We’ll grow with you.

No big-bang project. No betting the business. You see the value before you spend the next dollar.

1
On-site · half a day

We find where you're bleeding

Matt and Jayden spend half a day on your site and in your office. A week later you get a plain-English map: the 8–12 spots costing you the most, what each fix is worth in hours and dollars, and what it'd take to do.

Keep the map either way. No 3 fixes worth $20k+ a year each? Full refund.

Fixed scope · 90 days

We build the five that matter

We pick the five fixes that save you the most time and win you the most work, and build them in 90 days, on top of what you've already got. We train your office and stay on the phone the whole way through. You don't run it. We do.

At least 15 hours a week back by day 90, or we keep working free for another 30.

Ongoing · monthly

We stick around

Tools drift, jobs change, new ideas come up. Once a month we keep everything sharp, add one new thing a quarter, and your office has us on call, and everything we build stays yours.

Your subscription keeps it all running, sharp and supported.

The menu

A sample of what we take off your plate.

Not a fixed list. Every business is different. Your audit finds the handful that'll do the most for yours, and we build those. Each one we set up and run for you, so your office never has to learn it the hard way.

Missed calls

The helper that picks up the calls you miss

On the tools and can't get to the phone? It answers in your business's name, works out what they need, and books the job straight into AroFlo or ServiceM8. It sounds natural, it's upfront that it's your assistant, and anything tricky comes straight to you. More on the phone helper ›

Monday picture

A clear read on the business, every Monday

Quoted, pending, won, still owing, sent to your phone. No chasing.

The inbox

Your inbox sorted before you open it

Emails sized up and replies written, ready for your office to send.

Ordering

Snap a photo. The order sorts itself

Goes to your supplier, comes back, ticks itself off when it lands.

Handover

Walk the finished job, out comes the handover

A tidy defect list and client handover, half an hour, not half a day.

Reviews

The good word keeps coming, without you chasing

After every job, the review and referral ask goes out for you.

Paperwork

SafeWork, insurance & contracts kept in order

Filed as you go. When the insurer asks, it's already there.

+ one wildcard

And the one thing that's killing you we haven't listed

Every business has one. We find it on the day and build that too.

Who turns up

Industry blokes who work with your team, not a software company.

FKD Group is built by people who've run jobs, quoted work, and built real tools for Sydney trades. Matt runs your first call and your audit. Jayden builds what we promise. We sit next to your office, not a help desk in another time zone, and not a rep who vanishes the day you sign.

Penrith to Cronulla, Castle Hill to the Shire. We come to you.

The FKD Group founders having a smoko on a Sydney construction site

Matt Borsos (Business Development)

Your first call & your audit

Runs your discovery and walks your site. Years around construction owners. He talks straight and knows the work.

Jayden Chiha (Technology)

Builds what we promise

The hands on the tools. Sets it all up, trains your office, and picks up the phone when something needs a fix.

Daniel Natoli (Director)

Leads strategy & direction

Leads FKD's strategy and direction. He also built the take-off tool in his own Sydney firm and proved it on real jobs, which is why we can say we've actually done this before.

What we're not

  • A software company flogging you another login
  • A 22-year-old who's "done hundreds of AI projects"
  • A chatbot, or a number that rings out to a call centre
  • A rep who disappears the day after you sign

What we are

  • Blokes who've run jobs and built real tools for trades
  • On your site and in your office, here in Sydney
  • One name and one number you can hold to the result
  • Straight about your data, it stays yours, and we'll sign whatever keeps it that way
Our end of the deal

We take the risk. You take the upside.

  • The audit pays for itself, or it's free. If we don't find three fixes worth more than $20k a year each, you get the audit back in full, and you keep the map.
  • A 90-day result, in writing. At least 15 hours a week back and a number you can point to, or we keep going free for another 30 days.
  • What we build is yours. No data held hostage, no lock-in games. You stay because it works, not because you're stuck.

Straight answers

The questions every owner asks.

I tried an AI bloke before and it flopped +

Usually because they handed you a tool and walked off, or pitched a fifty-grand job nobody asked for. We do the opposite. We set it up properly, train your office, and stay on the hook for the result.

And the audit's refundable, so the risk sits with us first.

Can't my nephew just do this with a chatbot? +

He might get something going. But he can't fix it when it breaks at 7am, you can't really hold him to it, and the family dinner gets awkward when it stops working. You want one person you can call and lean on.

My office person is worried about being replaced +

Fair. And the honest answer is the opposite. The whole point is to take the rubbish jobs off them so they can do the work that actually matters. We train them to run it. They end up the most valuable person in the office, not the least.

You've got no clients yet, why should I trust you? +

Straight up: we're new, and we're not going to fake reviews to look older than we are. What we've got instead is skin in the game. The audit's refundable, the 90-day build's guaranteed, and the take-off tool you'd use is one Daniel already built and runs in his own Sydney firm.

Founding clients get the founders themselves, not a junior, on our sharpest terms. You're not a guinea pig. You're first in line.

Will the phone thing sound like a robot pretending to be me? +

No. It sounds natural, it's upfront that it's your assistant taking a message or booking a job, and the second anything's tricky it comes to you. You set what it handles and what it doesn't.

Your customers still get you. It just stops the ones you'd otherwise miss walking down the road to a competitor.

I'm flat out, I haven't got time for a project +

You don't run it. We do. Half a day for the audit, a few short check-ins while we build, and your office picks up the day-to-day. You stay on the tools.

What's it going to cost me? +

Depends what we find, so we lay it out plainly on the call, no surprises and no obligation. You start with a short, refundable audit, and you only go further if the numbers stack up. Worst case, you're out nothing.
