From 10 Hours to 20 Minutes: How Soil & Rock Transformed Geotechnical Reporting with Intelligence

From 10 Hours to 20 Minutes: How Soil & Rock Transformed Geotechnical Reporting with Intelligence

Project Summary

Constructing detailed geotechnical reports used to be a multi-hour affair—burdened by manual data entry and document prep. Soil & Rock knew they demanded more than just better technology; they wanted smarter systems built around their engineering standards. SupaHuman’s AI Workspace didn’t just automate—it became a trusted co-pilot.

Use Case 1: Meet Archie — The AI Co-Pilot

A custom AI, named Archie, now handles geotechnical report drafting by ingesting the team’s field data, analysis results, and source documents. It drafts client-ready reports—section by section—maintaining their tone, standards, and structure.

Use Case 1: Meet Archie — The AI Co-Pilot

Use Case 2: From 10 Hours to 20 Minutes

Use Case 2: From 10 Hours to 20 Minutes

Previously, generating a full geotechnical report often took 10 hours of tedious manual work. Thanks to Archie, that time has shrunk to around 20 minutes on average—a dramatic reduction that transforms how engineers spend their day.

From 10 Hours to 20 Minutes - and That’s Just the Beginning

Soil & Rock didn’t just speed things up—they redefined how geotechnical engineering gets done. With SupaHuman’s custom AI Workspace, they turned a clunky, 8-hour reporting process into a sleek, 20-minute workflow. No more manual data wrangling. No more admin drain. Just accurate, council-ready reports delivered at speed. Now their engineers spend less time typing and more time engineering—doing the high-value work that drives real results for clients. This isn’t just a time-saver. It’s a game-changer. And for Soil & Rock, Archie is only the beginning.

About
Soil & Rock Consultants

Soil & Rock Consultants is one of New Zealand’s leading geotechnical engineering firms - supporting the country’s property and construction sectors since 1987. With offices in Auckland and Northland, they deliver fast, cost-effective solutions across everything from site investigations to slope stability design.

Their mission? Be the most responsive, reliable, and innovative partner in the field.

With a highly skilled team of engineers and geologists, Soil & Rock handles everything from scoping and fieldwork through to design, reporting, and council submissions. They’re known for practical thinking, on-time delivery, and engineering solutions that get the job done—without the fluff.

When legacy systems started slowing down their high-performing team, they looked to SupaHuman for a smarter, AI-powered future.

‍

The Breaking Point of Manual Work

Legacy systems couldn’t deliver the leap in efficiency they needed. Engineers were mired in project administration and manual report assembly—which was unnecessary and distracting from what they do best. Soil & Rock turned to SupaHuman to reclaim that capacity, aiming to redirect engineering talent toward high-value analysis instead of typing and formatting.
