AI RECEPTIONIST FOR CONTRACTORS & HOME BUILDERS

An AI receptionist
for contractors and builders.

Run the job site. We’ll qualify the next project.

General contractors, remodelers, and custom home builders sell big, considered projects. An AI receptionist trained on your business answers every inquiry, asks your qualifying questions, and books consultations with the projects that fit.

One-on-one with the owner. Trained for your business. Built around your work.

BUILT FOR PROJECT INQUIRIES

What it handles for you

  • Answers calls and website chats while you’re on site
  • Asks about project type, scope, timeline, budget, and lot
  • Books consultations and site visits for qualified projects
  • Politely redirects jobs you don’t take
  • Routes subs, suppliers, and current clients to the right person
Scope, connections, and handoff rules are agreed during discovery.

WHERE PROJECT LEADS GET LOST

Your biggest jobs start with one inquiry.

Homeowners planning a remodel or a new build often contact several contractors. The ones who respond quickly and professionally get the first meeting.

01 / ON SITE

Calls during build days

You’re walking a site or running a crew, and the phone rings with a new project.

  • Answer every inquiry right away
  • Capture scope and timeline
  • Book the consultation
02 / QUALIFYING

Too many tire-kickers

Not every inquiry fits your minimum project size, area, or schedule.

  • Ask your qualifying questions first
  • Book only projects that fit
  • Redirect the rest politely
03 / EVERYONE ELSE

Subs, suppliers, current clients

Not every call is a lead, but each one needs to reach the right person.

  • Identify who’s calling and why
  • Route current-client calls fast
  • Take clear messages for the rest

Who this is for

General contractors, design-build firms, remodelers (kitchens, baths, additions, basements), and custom home builders. It also fits specialty trades with high-value projects, like windows and doors, decks, pools, and outdoor living.

What it does and where it stops

  • It does: answer questions about the services, areas, and process you approve, ask qualifying questions, book consultations, and send your team a project summary.
  • It doesn’t: estimate project costs, give design or structural advice, or commit to schedules. Those stay with you and your project managers.

Start with the AI Voice Receptionist, the Website Chatbot & Scheduler, or both in the AI Front Desk Bundle. Prices are on the AI receptionist cost page.

RUN YOUR PROJECT NUMBERS

What are missed project inquiries worth?

Example inputs: 8 missed inquiries a month, 15% become signed projects, $15,000 average project. Replace them with your own close rate and project size.

PERSONAL ATTENTION. PRECISE EXECUTION.

Built with you.
Trained for your exact needs.

You work one-on-one with the person designing your solution. We meet with you, scope the project around your bottlenecks, and create AI products specifically for your business.

  1. Meet one-on-one.

    I meet directly with owners to understand the work, the customers, and the bottlenecks. We trace where inquiries get stuck and where your time gets pulled away.

  2. Design it for your business.

    Together, we scope a product for your exact needs: your services, tools, booking rules, and handoffs. The solution follows your process, rather than forcing you into a template.

  3. Train, test, and refine.

    I train your AI agents on your approved information, tone, and customer scenarios. We meticulously test answers, bookings, and escalation paths together before launch.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS.

Contractor AI receptionist questions

Can it screen out projects that are too small?

Yes. We set your minimum project size, service area, and the project types you take. Inquiries that don’t fit get a polite answer, and a referral if you want to give one.

Will it ask about budget?

If you want it to. Many builders and remodelers ask for a rough range before booking a consultation, and we can phrase that question the way you prefer.

Can it handle calls from subs, suppliers, and current clients?

Yes. It identifies who’s calling and why, then routes current-client calls, takes supplier messages, or follows whatever path you set for each.

Does it work for custom home builders with long sales cycles?

It handles the first conversation: capturing the lot, plans, timeline, and budget, then booking the first meeting. The rest of the sale stays with you.

Do I have to change my business phone number?

Usually not. In many setups your existing number forwards to the AI receptionist when you don’t pick up, when the line is busy, or after hours. We check your carrier and routing before recommending a setup.

How long does setup take?

Most of the work is the discovery and training: your services, service area, hours, pricing rules, and how urgent calls should be handled. We test real call scenarios together before anything goes live. Timing depends on your scope and the tools we connect, and we agree on it during your Free Discovery Meeting.
