AI Receptionist for Construction. Never miss a project lead.

An AI receptionist for construction companies is an intelligent virtual assistant that handles inbound calls 24/7 while your crews are on job sites. It answers project inquiries, qualifies leads by project type and budget, schedules estimates and site visits, captures RFP details, and routes urgent job site calls to the appropriate project manager. Unlike traditional answering services, our AI voice receptionist integrates with construction management software like Procore and Buildertrend.

The AI receptionist answers every call instantly, 24/7, while your team focuses on active projects. It captures caller information, qualifies project scope and budget, schedules consultations and site visits, and sends you immediate notifications via text or email. You can review qualified leads between tasks instead of checking voicemails at the end of long workdays.

Homeowners and clients receive professional scheduling without you leaving the job site.

A full-time office manager costs $40,000-$60,000+ annually plus benefits and only works limited hours.

A construction answering service is a phone answering solution that handles calls for contractors and construction companies when crews are on job sites or after hours. Traditional construction answering services use human operators to take messages, while AI-powered services like AgentZap go further—answering instantly 24/7, qualifying project leads by type and budget, capturing RFP details, scheduling site visits and estimates, and syncing directly with construction management software like Procore, Buildertrend, and CoConstruct. For construction companies where 78% of homeowners hire the first contractor who responds and 65% of calls go unanswered during work hours, an answering service ensures no $67K+ project goes to a competitor.

Traditional construction answering services charge $1-2 per call or $200-500+ per month based on volume, with extra fees for detailed intake. AgentZap plans start at $79/month with 50-500 calls included depending on plan—no after-hours surcharges. Overage calls are billed at $1.50-2.00/call. Compared to hiring an office manager ($55,000+/year), AgentZap saves 90%+.

Traditional construction answering services focus on message-taking—operators answer, write down caller information, and relay messages. Virtual office managers like AgentZap provide full front-desk functionality: qualifying project scope and budget, capturing RFP details and bid deadlines, scheduling site visits and estimates, routing urgent job site calls, and integrating with your construction software. The key difference is real-time qualification vs message relay. With AgentZap, a $75K kitchen remodel lead gets qualified and scheduled during the call, not after a callback.

Yes—homeowners research and call contractors outside of business hours, often evenings and weekends. 78% of homeowners hire the first contractor who responds, and most won't leave voicemails. A 24/7 answering service captures these high-value project leads (average value $67K) that would otherwise go to competitors. For construction where response speed determines who wins the job, 24/7 coverage is essential for growth.

Popular construction project management software includes Procore (enterprise), Buildertrend (residential builders), CoConstruct (custom builders), PlanGrid (field management), Jobber (service contractors), and ServiceTitan (trades). These platforms handle project scheduling, client communication, and job costing. AgentZap complements these by providing the AI-powered front end—answering calls 24/7, qualifying leads, and booking estimate appointments directly into your software.

AI estimate scheduling for construction works during the phone call itself. When a homeowner calls about a remodel or new build, the AI captures project type, scope, budget range, timeline, and location. It then checks your calendar for availability, considers travel time between job sites, and books the site visit—confirming immediately with the caller. All lead details sync to Procore, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, or your calendar automatically.

Yes—RFP and bid capture is a key feature of AgentZap for construction. The AI captures project specifications, bid deadlines, required certifications, bonding requirements, and submission details. It can answer basic questions about your capabilities, past projects, and qualifications. All RFP information is compiled and sent immediately so your estimating team can evaluate opportunities without missing deadlines.
