The Problem

GENERAL CONTRACTORS
MISS TOO MANY PROJECTS

You're losing bids every day while on job sites. Clients call when you're on a ladder, no-shows waste your time, and your team can't keep up with estimate requests.

You Miss Calls When It Matters Most

A homeowner finds your number at 9 PM after discovering water damage, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already hired someone else who answered.

The Cost
$15,000/project
Average lost renovation bid

Your Team Is Drowning in Calls

While you're meeting with a client, three more calls come in. Site walk requests, estimate follow-ups, permit questions—you can't be everywhere at once. Clients get frustrated waiting, and you lose bids.

The Cost
40+ calls/day
Per contractor

Site Walks No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You drive across town, prep your estimate materials, and show up. They don't. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and gas money.
