Our Custom-Built AI Outreach Engine
We've powered sales teams for construction firms from framing crews to high-rise developers, delivering field-tested automations that scale with your pipeline.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest – in construction, every minute counts, whether it's pouring foundations or pitching to a new general contractor. At AIQ Labs, we don't slap together off-the-shelf tools. We engineer a bespoke AI system tailored to your workflow, pulling in data from your estimating software, CRM, and even weather APIs to craft outreach that's as precise as a laser level. You're probably thinking, 'How does this fit my bids?' It does – by automating research on prospects' recent projects, generating personalized emails that reference their blueprints, and scheduling follow-ups around site availability. No more generic blasts; just targeted, ROI-driven conversations that turn leads into signed subcontracts.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Tangible Gains for Your Operation
Reclaim 15-25 Hours Weekly
Reclaim 15-25 Hours Weekly: Your estimators and project managers spend too much time dialing cold leads or tweaking boilerplate emails for rebar suppliers. Our AI handles the grunt work – scraping subcontractor needs from Dodge Data reports, drafting bids tailored to their high-rise concrete pours, and sending them during non-peak bidding windows. Result? That's <span class="gradient">up to $50K in annual savings</span> from reduced labor costs, letting your team focus on site walkthroughs and value engineering instead of desk drudgery.
Spike Conversion Rates by 40%
Spike Conversion Rates by 40%: Here's the thing: generic outreach drowns in the noise of endless RFPs from public works bids. We build AI that analyzes prospects' public bids on platforms like BidClerk, permit filings with local building departments, and even LinkedIn posts for pain points like delayed HVAC installations. It crafts messages that speak directly to their challenges – 'Saw your crew's facing HVAC shortages on the downtown high-rise; here's how we can fast-track your supply with pre-fab units.' Efficiency gains mean more wins, with clients seeing <span class="gradient">ROI in under 3 months</span> through higher close rates on commercial jobs and reduced material overages.
Streamline Your Entire Pipeline
Streamline Your Entire Pipeline: Productivity boosts come from unification – no more jumping between apps while dodging site hazards or factory floor bottlenecks. Our system creates a single dashboard for outreach, integrating with your Procore or Autodesk BIM 360 tools to flag hot leads for steel fabricators during off-peak inventory cycles. Quantifiable savings: cut manual data entry by 80%, reduce errors in bid tracking for MEP subcontractors, and watch your backlog grow without the overtime. It's like upgrading from hand tools to a full pneumatic setup – smoother, faster, and built to last for scaling prefab operations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our sales guy was buried in follow-up calls for weeks after every trade show, pulling him off real estimator duties like reviewing shop drawings. Now, the AI pulls specs from our Procore logs and sends customized pitches to GCs targeting their structural steel needs – we landed two $200K framing contracts in the first month alone, saving us about 18 hours a week and avoiding delays on our commercial builds."
Mike Harlan
Sales Director, Harlan Builders Inc. (Midwest Commercial Contractor)
"You're probably thinking AI can't grasp the nuances of site-specific bids, but this system nailed it. It researched a prospect's water treatment plant project via their latest EPA filings and local permit records, then automated outreach with tailored proposals for piping materials. We closed the deal two weeks faster than usual, and our team's not wasting afternoons on email templates anymore – that's more time for coordinating with our plumbing subs."
Sarah Kline
Operations Manager, Apex Construction Services (Infrastructure Specialist)
"In manufacturing, timing is everything – like syncing rebar deliveries to match pour schedules. Their custom automation cut our lead gen time in half, personalizing outreach to fabricators based on inventory cycles from SAP data. We've boosted pipeline efficiency by 35%, landing three new OEM contracts worth $450K, and the ROI showed up in our Q2 numbers without adding headcount or disrupting production lines."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the variability in construction bids?
Great question – construction isn't one-size-fits-all, with bids varying by soil conditions, union rules, or material fluctuations. Our AI is trained on your historical data to generate outreach that references specifics, like 'Based on your recent high-rise RFP, our precast solutions can shave 10% off your timeline.' We integrate with your estimating software to pull real variables, ensuring messages feel bespoke. Clients see a 30% uplift in responses because it's not generic; it's like having an extra estimator spotting opportunities. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, with ongoing tweaks to match seasonal demands, like summer pours.
What if my team isn't tech-savvy – will they actually use it?
You're probably thinking about your field guys who prefer boots over bytes. We design interfaces as simple as a job site blueprint – intuitive dashboards where reps review AI-suggested emails with one click to approve or tweak. Training is hands-on, like a quick toolbox talk, and we include mobile access for on-site approvals. One client, a mid-size contractor, had their supers using it within days; they reported cutting outreach prep from 2 hours to 15 minutes per lead. It's built for your workflow, so adoption sticks without forcing change.
How do you ensure the AI doesn't send off-base messages to prospects?
Accuracy is crucial in construction, where one wrong spec can tank a bid. We start by ingesting your past successful outreaches and project data, then use advanced NLP to cross-check against sources like Dodge Reports or local permit databases. The system flags anything uncertain for human review – think of it as AI with a safety harness. For instance, it won't pitch roofing to a firm knee-deep in plumbing RFPs. Post-launch, we monitor open rates and feedback loops to refine, ensuring 90%+ relevance. This precision has helped firms like yours avoid the embarrassment of mismatched pitches.
What's the ROI timeline for this in a manufacturing context?
In manufacturing, where margins are tight and cycles are predictable, ROI hits fast. Expect to see time savings in week one – say, 10-15 hours from automating supplier outreach for component bids. Full payback often comes in 2-4 months through higher conversion on custom orders. Take a fabricator we worked with: they automated prospecting for steel runs, landing three new contracts worth $150K, with labor costs down 25%. We provide built-in trackers to quantify it, factoring in your specifics like inventory turnover. It's practical, field-tested math.
Can this integrate with our existing project management tools?
Absolutely – we specialize in bridging the gaps in your stack. Whether it's Procore for construction scheduling, Epicor for manufacturing ERP, or even QuickBooks for quotes, our custom APIs create two-way syncs. No more duplicate entry on lead statuses or bid updates. For example, when a prospect responds, it auto-populates your project pipeline with details like delivery timelines. We've done this for dozens of SMBs, reducing integration headaches by 80%. If your setup's unique, we map it during discovery to ensure it's seamless from day one.
How secure is this for sensitive bid information?
Security is non-negotiable in construction, with proprietary designs and pricing that could leak to competitors. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access – only your sales leads see what they need. Data stays in your owned system, not cloud rentals prone to breaches. We've handled sensitive integrations for firms bidding on government projects, incorporating audit logs for every outreach. Think of it as locking your blueprints in a fortified safe; regular pentests keep it ironclad, so you focus on winning bids, not worrying about leaks.
