What it does

Built for how construction firms actually run.

Lead qualification and project intake

AI captures project type, scope, timeline, budget range, and location, then routes complete bid packages to your estimating team.

Site visit scheduling

AI books walkthroughs, consultations, and inspections based on PM availability. Sends confirmations with site addresses and prep notes.

Subcontractor coordination

AI handles calls from subs about scheduling, material deliveries, and change orders. Routes urgent issues to the PM instantly.

Estimate follow-up

AI calls prospects after a bid is sent, answers follow-up questions, and captures the go/no-go signal so the PM can redirect effort.

Invoicing and payment reminders

AI calls clients with open invoices, explains line items, and takes payment over the phone or books a call with accounting.

Bid inquiry handling

AI triages incoming bid requests, filters out unqualified scope, and only surfaces the projects worth your estimator's time.

Why now

Your team is on the build. The phone is running your sales pipeline.

PMs cannot answer on active sites

AI answers every call, triages urgency, and only interrupts the PM when it truly matters.

New bid leads go cold in days

AI calls bid inquiries within seconds, qualifies scope, and hands a ready package to the estimator.

Subs need coordination all day

AI handles routine sub calls about schedules, deliveries, and change orders, freeing the PM to focus on the build.

Unpaid invoices pile up

AI follows up on open invoices, answers billing questions, and takes payment over the phone.

How it works

From missed call to booked site walk.

01

Lead or sub calls

AI answers instantly, identifies the caller, and routes by intent: bid inquiry, client update, or sub coordination.

02

AI qualifies and books

Captures project scope, books the site walk, or logs the sub's update directly in your PM system.

03

PM gets briefed

Project manager receives a full lead summary in the CRM. Client or sub receives an SMS with next steps.

Choice architecture

What you get from us

Your partner, not just a tool.

Every firm runs differently. We build around your PM software, your trades, and your bid process. Not a self-serve template you configure alone.

Week 1

Discovery and configuration

We map your services, PM software, trades, escalation rules, and subcontractor directory. We listen to recent calls to learn how your office actually triages.

Week 2

Build and test

We build your AI, connect it to your PM and accounting systems, and run test calls through realistic bid and sub scenarios. You review recordings before go-live.

Ongoing

Weekly calibration

Your account manager reviews call transcripts weekly, updates the agent as your projects and services evolve, and flags any conversation that needs your attention. Not a ticket queue.

Integrations

Connects to the tools your firm already uses.

AI writes leads, RFIs, and invoices straight into your stack. No double entry, no CSV imports.
