AI Receptionist for General Contractors
Renovation calls are a slow burn — qualification matters more than speed. Your AI Receptionist captures the scope, books the site visit, and filters tire-kickers before your project manager spends a minute.
// THE PROBLEM
The contractor's phone problem
GCs juggle active builds and incoming leads. Project managers shouldn't be answering cold quote calls between trades. Without help, qualified leads sit in voicemail next to tire-kickers.
- Project managers can't run jobs and intake leads.
- Renovation calls take 5–10 minutes to qualify properly.
- Tire-kickers eat the same time as real prospects.
- Late callbacks lose six-figure projects.
