Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf lead scorers treat every industry like a cookie-cutter build. Not us. At AIQ Labs, we craft your lead scoring system from the ground up, pulling in your unique data from job bids, site visits, and client histories. You're probably thinking, 'How does this work for renos?' Picture this: an AI that scans a lead's past project footprints, flags budget mismatches early, and ranks them by close probability. No more one-size-fits-all limitations. It's flexible, built for your exact needs—like reinforcing a foundation to match the load. We integrate it directly with your CRM and estimating tools, creating a single owned system that scales with your crew.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Real ROI on Every Lead You Chase
Skyrocket Close Rates on Premium Projects
Your sales crew zeros in on leads with 80%+ conversion potential, like spotting a load-bearing wall in structural bids. We've seen contractors cut dead-end bids by 60%, freeing up estimators for high-ticket kitchen overhauls that net $50K+ margins, especially in custom cabinetry manufacturing integrations.
Slash Field Hours on Worthless Follow-Ups
No more driving to sites for clients who ghost after the walk-through on foundation assessments. Our system scores based on engagement signals—like email opens on your portfolio of precast concrete projects—saving 15-20 hours weekly. That's time back for actual hammer-and-nail work, not pipeline plumbing.
Boost Cash Flow with Smarter Bid Prioritization
Focus on leads that align with your specialty, say historic renos over basic flips involving steel framing. Clients report 35% faster project starts, turning summer leads into fall revenue streams without the usual bidding frenzy on modular component deliveries.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's scoring, we were bidding everything that moved—wasted two weeks on a bathroom reno lead that fell through over budget mismatches on tile sourcing. Now, it flags the real ones upfront; closed three $120K jobs last quarter alone, all from scored hot leads on mid-rise additions."
Mike Rivera
Senior Project Manager, Urban Restore Contractors LLC
"Our team was buried in leads from online inquiries, half irrelevant for our commercial focus like warehouse expansions. This custom setup integrated with our QuickBooks and cut junk bids by 70%. Honestly, it's like having an extra estimator who never sleeps, handling our steel fabrication RFQs seamlessly."
Sarah Chen
Founder and CEO, Apex Renovations Inc.
"Seasonal swings used to kill us—too many lowball residential hits in winter for basic framing gigs. The AI now prioritizes based on our data, focusing on commercial HVAC integrations, and we hit our Q2 targets two months early. Simple, but game-changing for a crew our size in the prefab market."

Operations Director, BuildRight Renovators & Fabricators

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does custom lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for renovation contractors?
Standard CRMs like Salesforce give basic filters, but they're generic—think a one-size-fits-all hammer for every nail. Our custom AI digs into your specifics: it analyzes past reno bids, client timelines, and even regional material costs to score leads on true conversion odds. For instance, it might flag a lead with a $200K historic home project as high-priority while deprioritizing quick flips under $50K. We build it to integrate with your tools, reducing manual sorting by 50%. You're not just logging leads; you're predicting which ones will actually sign contracts and keep your crew billable. It's practical, ROI-driven, and field-tested for the chaos of construction schedules.
What data do you need to start building the lead scoring system?
We start simple: access to your historical lead data—things like bid sheets, client inquiries, closed deals, and lost reasons from the past 12-24 months. No need for fancy exports; we pull from your CRM, email logs, or even spreadsheets. For reno contractors, we focus on key signals like project scope (e.g., full gut vs. cosmetic), location-based demand, and budget hints from initial RFPs. Here's the thing: we handle the heavy lifting, anonymizing sensitive info and ensuring compliance. In 2-3 sessions, we map it out. The result? A system that learns your patterns, like spotting seasonal surges in kitchen renos, without overwhelming your team.
How long does it take to see results from the custom lead scoring?
Quick wins hit fast—within the first week of deployment, your team sees scored leads prioritized in the dashboard. Full ROI builds over 1-3 months as the AI refines from live data. Take a contractor we worked with: they chased 40% fewer low-value leads right away, closing two extra $100K projects in the first quarter. It's not magic; it's tailored to your workflow, adapting to variables like supply chain delays. We monitor and tweak, ensuring scores align with your close rates. You're probably thinking it'll disrupt ops—nope, we phase it in, starting with a pilot on 20% of leads to build confidence.
Can this integrate with our existing construction management software?
Absolutely, that's our specialty. We design two-way integrations with tools like Procore, Buildertrend, or even custom estimating apps—no superficial connections that break under load. For example, a scored lead auto-populates bid details, pulling in material quotes and timelines. It's built robust, handling the data volume of a busy reno firm without downtime. We've connected to accounting systems too, so high-scoring leads trigger invoice prep. The key? It's owned by you, not locked into subscriptions. If your setup involves subcontractors, we extend scoring to their inputs, creating a unified pipeline. Flexible and field-tested for the real-world grind.
What if our lead sources change, like new subcontractor referrals?
Our systems are built flexible, like modular framing that adapts to site changes. When new sources pop up—say, a partnership boosting referrals—we retrain the AI with fresh data in under two weeks, no full rebuild needed. It learns patterns quickly: referral strength from past subs, engagement from new channels like industry forums. A client added trade show leads mid-year; scores improved 25% accuracy almost immediately, focusing efforts on viable multi-unit renos. We include ongoing optimization in the package, monitoring for shifts like economic dips affecting budgets. It's practical assurance your scoring stays sharp, driving ROI without constant tweaks from your side.
Is this lead scoring secure for sensitive construction client data?
Security is non-negotiable in our builds, especially with client blueprints and budgets at stake. We use enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and SOC 2, ensuring data stays locked down. Your leads—property details, financial hints—never leave your controlled environment unless you say so. We've hardened systems for manufacturing partners handling proprietary specs, so reno contractors get the same: role-based access for your team, audit trails on every score. No cloud vulnerabilities here; it's a custom, owned asset. A recent audit for a client confirmed zero breaches in 18 months. Peace of mind, so you focus on the build, not the backend.
