Give your engineers their time back. More capacity from the team you already have.
We identify the processes slowing your engineers down and build AI systems that take them off their plate. AI agents, scaled operations and process automations for UK engineering SMEs and consultancies, so you can take on more work and deliver it faster.
Trusted by leading companies
In short
VanHoof AI is a UK AI consultancy for engineering firms. We find the processes slowing your engineers down and build AI systems that give that time back.
Who we work with
Engineering SMEs and consultancies across the UK. Our own team comes from defence, naval architecture, structural and piping engineering.
What we build
AI agents, scaled operations and process automations that take repetitive, error-prone work off engineers' plates.
What you get
More capacity from the team you already have, so you can take on more work and deliver it faster.
The Problem
Two hidden costs are eroding your engineering capacity
Engineering firms are under constant pressure to deliver more with the same team. The cost is real, but it's spread across the business, which is exactly why it goes unaddressed.
Time Sinks
Manual, repetitive work that eats skilled engineering hours. Hours that should be going on design, delivery and winning the next job.
Quality Risks
Inconsistent, error-prone steps that lead to rework, delay and avoidable commercial or reputational exposure.
Why most AI projects don't fix it
The technology is rarely the problem. The approach is.
Tool-first, not problem-first
No evidence of return
No prioritisation
Advisers without engineering experience
Outputs you can't rely on
Knowledge trapped in documents
AI tools ≠ Engineering capacity
Another chatbot won't give your engineers their time back.
Capacity comes from fixing the right processes. We understand your business first, quantify the return, then build systems grounded in your own project knowledge that your engineers can trust.
The Framework
How we build engineering capacity
Three stages, one goal: more capacity from the team you already have. Start with the assessment, or come to us with a process you already know needs fixing.
Case Studies
Capacity we've built for engineering businesses
What we found, what we built and the time it gave back.
