How we
use AI.

We use AI where it makes the work better: drafting and testing code, trying ideas early, and the slow parts of 3D and rendering — first-pass models, denoising, upscaling.

A person decides what we make, designs it, writes or edits the words, checks the details and signs off everything we deliver. You deal with people, not chatbots.

We don’t put your confidential material — plans, drawings, unreleased work, personal information — into AI services without your permission.

Where we do use one on your project, we choose services that don’t train on what we give them, and we tell you.

You own what we hand over. We don’t knowingly deliver anything we don’t have the right to give you, and if you ask which parts of a project involved AI, we’ll tell you.

A visualisation shows the design as it will be built. We don’t use AI to invent views, finishes or landscaping that aren’t in the design — unless we’ve agreed it with you and say so on the image.

Some of the 3D on this site began as AI-generated models that we then rebuilt, lit and rendered ourselves. AI coding assistants helped us build it, and we test what ships.

Personal information you send us is handled under New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020, and isn’t fed into AI services.
