Waihanga — Construction pack
Kete means basket or kit. This is the assembl specialist pack for construction work: agents, tools, live knowledge, review rules, and evidence packs.
Fewer reworked consents. Faster council sign-off.. assembl's construction operating layer helps architects, builders, and project teams turn plans, consent evidence, site safety notes, and completion records into review-ready packs. Waihanga is the named pack; the first job is fewer reworked consents and clearer council handoffs.

What this pack does
Scope, citations, and the workflows that come with it.
Waihanga handles the work that sits between the design office and the BCA: consent applications, producer statements, plan checks, site safety paperwork, variation packs, and the evidence trail that ends with a Code Compliance Certificate.
The architecture flow is already in the stack: plan-to-3D analysis, BIM review, NZ Building Code checks, producer-statement scoping, and a council-ready evidence trail. Reviewers see exactly which clause each paragraph stands on. Auditors see the same trail months later.
Waihanga is the first live construction pack because the cost of getting it wrong is visible: every reworked consent is a fortnight of delay. The Pilot Sprint usually starts here.

Ready-to-run assistants
14 practical assistants, each with a clear job.
Pick the task you need: prepare a draft, check the evidence, review the rules, or package the record. The internal agent names stay visible, but the work comes first.
