Construction & maintenance
AI receptionist & agentic automation for contractors
Your problem is not too few enquiries — it is too many that do not fit. The agent qualifies every caller and books only the conversations worth having.
Sound familiar?
-
On site the phone is unusable: noise, gloves, and you are on scaffolding.
-
Half your enquiries fall outside your area, budget or trade — and you only find out ten minutes in.
-
Subcontractors, suppliers and clients all ring the same number.
What the agent does
From missed call to booked job
Answer and establish urgency
The agent qualifies every enquiry on the points that decide fit: type of work, scope, address, whether there is an architect or drawing, preferred start date and budget indication.
Appointment in your calendar
Only enquiries that meet your criteria get a visit in your calendar. The rest are declined politely with an explanation, rather than lingering in a list.
Summary on WhatsApp
Callers are separated: client, subcontractor or supplier each get their own route and their own destination.
Every caller recorded
Everything lands in your CRM as a lead with the reason it does or does not fit, so you can later see which channels produce usable enquiries.
Answers from your knowledge base
Questions about your coverage area, whether you take small renovations, whether you use regular subcontractors and your typical lead time come from your knowledge base.
Advantages
Filtering before it costs your time
Ten minutes on an unsuitable enquiry costs the agent nothing. For you it is a quarter of an hour plus the drive.
Reachable without leaving site
You do not have to come down from scaffolding for a caller who only wanted to know your coverage area.
Enquiries you can actually compare
Because every enquiry goes through the same questions, you can lay them side by side and choose. Free-form notes never allow that.
Subcontractors and suppliers kept separate
A materials question from a supplier does not belong in your sales pipeline. The agent splits them at first contact.
Drawbacks and limits
We list the drawbacks because otherwise you discover them after buying. Each one comes with how we handle it.
Filtering sometimes filters wrongly
An enquiry that just misses your criteria can still be interesting. That is why declined enquiries are still recorded, and why the thresholds are yours to adjust.
Asking about budget is sensitive
Some clients find a budget question too direct. You can soften or skip it, at the cost of weaker filtering.
Large projects do not fit an intake
On a commercial development any script is too short. There the agent does no more than book a conversation — useful, but not automation.
Frequently asked questions
Can the agent turn enquiries down?
It does not reject, it declines: outside your area or below your minimum project size it explains politely that it is not a fit and can refer on. The enquiry is still recorded so you can review your thresholds.
Can I define what counts as a suitable enquiry?
Yes. Coverage area, minimum scope, type of work and preferred start date are all criteria you set, and you change them as your schedule changes.
Can subcontractors and suppliers be handled separately?
Yes. Known numbers can transfer straight through, and new callers are separated at the first question into client, subcontractor or supplier.
Can the agent receive drawings or documents?
Yes, it sends an upload link during the call. Files are attached to the enquiry so you can check fit before the visit.
