What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains in Time and Costs
Slash Scheduling Time by 30 Hours Weekly
Slash Scheduling Time by 30 Hours Weekly: Imagine your foremen focusing on site walkthroughs and quality checks, not calendars. Our AI anticipates crew availability for trades like roofing and siding, factors in real-time traffic to job sites and local weather forecasts, and auto-assigns tasks—freeing you from the endless back-and-forth that plagues residential coordination. Home service contractors report a 25% productivity boost, turning wasted hours into billable work on more remodels.
Achieve 35% ROI Through Reduced Material Waste
Achieve 35% ROI Through Reduced Material Waste: Overordering lumber for framing or tiles for bathrooms? Not anymore. Our custom forecasting models analyze past residential jobs and supplier data for items like PVC piping and countertops to predict exact needs, cutting excess by up to 20%. One mid-sized home renovation firm saved $15K on a series of five kitchen remodels over six months—real dollars back in your pocket, without the guesswork.
Boost Client Satisfaction and Cash Flow
Boost Client Satisfaction and Cash Flow: Delayed updates on home additions or deck installations frustrate homeowners and slow payments. Our AI sends automated, personalized progress reports via text or app, including photos of framing progress or final inspections, keeping everyone in the loop. Result? 40% faster invoice approvals within 48 hours and stronger relationships that lead to repeat business and referrals for future home upgrades.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried in emails just to keep track of our roofing crews installing asphalt shingles across five suburban sites. Their custom scheduler cut our coordination time from 15 hours a week to under 3, and we've already landed two repeat clients for gutter installations because progress updates on leak repairs are now instant via app notifications."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera Roofing & Exteriors
"Material shortages of ceramic tiles and vanities killed our margins on bathroom renos last year—lost about $8K on three projects. The AI inventory tool they built pulls from our supplier feeds for plumbing fixtures and predicts needs spot-on, even adjusting for custom shower installs. It's like having an extra project manager who never sleeps, saving us 15% on every job."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Chen Kitchen & Bath Remodels
"Subcontractor mix-ups with electricians and tilers were a nightmare; we'd lose days chasing them for wiring and backsplash work on kitchen remodels. AIQ's system auto-syncs schedules across trades and flags conflicts upfront, like overlapping drywall and painting phases. In the first month, we finished a full kitchen install two days early ahead of the holiday rush, and the client tipped us $500 for the smooth communication and on-time reveal."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does AI automation handle the unpredictability of construction sites?
Construction is chaotic—weather hits, supplies delay, crews call out. Our custom AI systems are built to adapt, using real-time data from weather APIs, GPS trackers, and your job logs to predict and mitigate issues. For instance, if rain's forecast, it reschedules non-weatherproof tasks automatically, notifying your team via app. We've seen contractors reduce downtime by 15-20% this way. Unlike rigid software, our solutions learn from your past projects, making adjustments proactive. Setup starts with auditing your typical disruptions, ensuring the AI fits your workflow without adding complexity. It's not magic; it's engineered reliability for the field.
What kind of time savings can a general contractor expect?
General contractors often lose 20-30 hours weekly to manual tasks like scheduling and reporting. Our automations target that directly: AI handles crew assignments in minutes, not hours, and auto-generates client updates from site photos. One client, a mid-sized firm, reclaimed 25 hours per week, redirecting it to bidding on new jobs—which increased their pipeline by 30%. ROI kicks in fast; most see payback within 4-6 months through efficiency and reduced errors. We quantify this upfront with a workflow audit, then track metrics post-launch to prove the gains. It's tailored, so savings scale with your operation size.
Is this automation customizable for my specific contracting niche, like roofing or remodeling?
Absolutely—generic tools fail because every contractor's workflow is unique, whether you're roofing steep pitches or remodeling kitchens. We start by mapping your exact processes: For roofers, that might mean wind-speed integrations for safety scheduling; for remodelers, it's cabinet lead times and permit flows. Our engineers build from your data, creating features like niche-specific material predictors or client portals with visual mockups. No templates here; it's a bespoke system you own. Past clients in specialties like HVAC saw 35% faster project cycles. We collaborate closely, iterating based on your feedback to ensure it feels like an extension of your team.
How secure is the data in these AI systems for sensitive project info?
Security is non-negotiable in contracting, where you're handling client addresses, budgets, and timelines. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, with role-based access so only authorized crew see site specifics. Compliance with standards like SOC 2 ensures audits pass muster for insured projects. Unlike cloud-only tools, our owned systems let you host on-premise if needed, minimizing breach risks. We've integrated with secure field apps, preventing leaks from shared drives. Regular penetration testing keeps it robust— one client in commercial builds praised how it protected bid details during competitive tenders. Your data stays yours, fortified.
What's the implementation timeline for a custom AI automation setup?
We keep it efficient: Discovery and design take 2-4 weeks, prototyping another 3-5, and full deployment 4-6 weeks after, totaling 2-3 months for a polished system. This includes testing on a live pilot project to iron out kinks, like syncing with your existing time-tracking app. Factors like your team size or integration complexity can adjust this, but we prioritize quick wins—often automating scheduling first for immediate relief. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of support to ramp up. Clients typically see value in the first month, with full ROI by quarter two. It's phased to minimize disruption to ongoing jobs.
Can this integrate with my current tools like QuickBooks or Jobber?
Seamless integration is our specialty—we connect to whatever you're using, from QuickBooks for invoicing to Jobber for dispatching, without data silos. Our deep, two-way APIs ensure updates flow instantly: A crew logs hours on-site, and it hits your accounting in real-time. No more double-entry errors that eat profits. For a recent plumbing contractor, we linked their field app to inventory systems, cutting stock discrepancies by 25%. If a tool lacks APIs, we build custom bridges. It's all unified under your owned platform, scalable as you add subs or expand services. We audit your stack first to confirm compatibility and map the flows.
