Built for general contractors doing $1M–$5M
Remodels and builds run for weeks, and the admin runs constant — qualifying leads, building estimates, and keeping clients in the loop. We build the tools that carry that weight.
Built in two weeks. $1,500 to $6,000. No retainers, no long contracts — and a real person who knows your world.
Where the time goes
You didn't get into this business to live on the phone or write quotes at midnight. These are the things we hear about on almost every first call with an owner in General Contracting.
If two or three of these sound familiar, there's a tool worth building.
What we'd build for you
Not a chatbot with a monthly fee. Small, reliable tools that do a specific job inside the workflow you already run — so your team is free for the work that grows the business.
Lead capture
Every inquiry gets an instant reply and the right questions — scope, budget range, timeline — so serious projects get a consult booked and tire-kickers get filtered before they eat your week.
Built on the tools you already run — you own it at launch.
Estimating
From your scope notes, it drafts a clean estimate and a professional proposal — line items, phases, your standard terms. Hours of evening admin become a short review.
Live in 1–2 weeks, with 30 days of tuning included.
Customer experience
It sends clients a clear, regular project update — what's done, what's next, what needs a decision — so the office isn't fielding 'where are we?' calls all day.
A real person walks your team through it — no manual to read.
Daily brief
One text each morning: active jobsites, crew and sub assignments, inspections and deliveries due, and yesterday's numbers.
Quietly pays for itself, then runs without you watching it.
What this looks like
These are illustrative examples of the kind of change these tools make — not named clients. The dollar and time figures are realistic, plain-English estimates of typical impact.
Serious leads and tire-kickers got the same attention; the owner's time leaked into bad-fit consults.
An assistant qualifies every lead on scope, budget, and timeline before a consult is booked.
Representative result: the owner's consult time spent almost entirely on real projects.
Update calls and emails piled up; clients chased the office for status.
Clients get a clear, regular project update automatically.
Representative result: fewer status calls and a noticeably better client experience.

Common questions
Yes. It asks about scope, budget range, and timeline up front. Serious projects get a consult booked; weak-fit inquiries get a polite response without burning your calendar.
It drafts the estimate and a professional proposal from your scope notes — line items, phases, your terms. You review and finalize.
Yes. We build on top of Buildertrend, CoConstruct, or whatever you use to run projects.
We'll tell you. Honestly — plenty of our first calls end with us saying “you don't need AI for that, you need a better process” or “this is a $200 Zapier zap, not a $5k build.” We make our money on great fits, not by selling everyone an automation. The 15-minute call is free either way.
Every build has approval gates wherever the stakes are real — sending a customer message, processing a payment, booking a job. The tool drafts, you approve. For the first 30 days after launch we monitor it daily and fix anything that drifts. After that you can keep us on retainer or take it fully in-house — your call.
