The "Lead Drought" Problem
Chasing unqualified leads from scattered sources like Angi job boards, HomeAdvisor postings, and local directories, often resulting in 70% rejection rates for mismatched project scopes
Manually drafting repetitive emails for homeowners inquiring about kitchen remodels or developers bidding on multi-unit renovations, delaying responses by 2-3 days on average
Missing follow-ups on renovation inquiries amid on-site emergencies like plumbing leaks and crew management during peak summer install schedules
Struggling to personalize outreach for commercial bids on office retrofits or retail expansions without 10+ hours of deep research per prospect
Wasting budget on generic marketing like blanket Facebook ads that fail to connect with local property owners planning bathroom updates or deck additions
Overloaded admins juggling CRM updates for roofing estimates while crews wait on new project pipelines during off-season lulls

It's like having a dedicated sales engineer who never sleeps, ensuring your pitches land precisely when clients are ready to build. Proven to slash manual effort by 70%, this custom workflow turns your lead gen into a predictable revenue machine.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Revenue with Precision Automation
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on High-Value Tasks
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on High-Value Tasks: No more sifting through endless leads from platforms like Thumbtack or crafting boilerplate emails for siding replacements. Our AI handles permit data research and outreach, freeing your team for site walkthroughs, crew coordination on HVAC installs, and closing deals—boosting overall productivity by 40% and reducing burnout from admin overload within the first month.
Achieve 3x Faster ROI Through Targeted Outreach
Achieve 3x Faster ROI Through Targeted Outreach: Expect a 25-30% lift in bid wins within the first quarter for projects like whole-home remodels. By automating personalized pitches to homeowners eyeing kitchen remodels or developers scouting commercial sites for tenant improvements, you convert more leads at lower cost—industry benchmarks show contractors saving $12K annually on marketing waste from ineffective door-knocking campaigns.
Scale Your Pipeline Without Scaling Your Team
Scale Your Pipeline Without Scaling Your Team: Handle twice the volume of inquiries during peak seasons like spring renos for exterior painting or fall gutter installations, without hiring extra salespeople. The system qualifies leads based on project size (e.g., $10K+ budgets) and urgency, ensuring your estimators focus on high-ROI opportunities like custom cabinetry bids and maintaining those vital client relationships.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, my team spent Fridays just cold-calling subcontractors for framing supplies—total waste. Now, the AI pulls local building permit data from county records and sends tailored bids for foundation work automatically. We landed three commercial strip mall jobs in two months that we'd have missed otherwise. It's cut our outreach time in half, from 20 hours to 10 weekly."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Construction Co., specializing in commercial foundations in the Midwest
"I was skeptical about AI for something as hands-on as general contracting, but this system changed everything. It personalized emails for a neighborhood cluster targeting bathroom remodels in suburban homes, and we closed 40% more than last year—jumping from 12 to 20 projects. Setup took just a week, and it's integrated perfectly with our Buildertrend for tracking drywall and flooring bids."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel Builders, focused on residential remodels in the Southeast
"Manual follow-ups were killing us during busy roofing seasons with storm damage rushes. The custom automation now tracks every lead's response and nudges them with project-specific details like shingle type recommendations. We've seen our conversion rate jump from 15% to 28% on window replacement inquiries, and my sales guy finally has time for client lunches to discuss energy-efficient upgrades."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unique needs of general contractors, like varying project scopes?
Our custom system starts by mapping your specific workflows—whether you're focusing on residential remodels or large-scale commercial builds. We train the AI on your historical data, such as past bid win factors like timeline flexibility or material preferences, to generate outreach that speaks directly to client pain points. For instance, it can reference local building codes or recent weather impacts on roofing needs. Unlike generic tools, this ensures relevance, reducing unqualified leads by 50%. Setup involves a quick audit of your Jobber or similar CRM, and we iterate based on your feedback to match seasonal demands. Clients typically see personalized campaigns live within 2-4 weeks, with ongoing tweaks to maintain 25%+ response rates.
What kind of time savings can a mid-sized contracting firm expect?
General contractors often lose 10-20 hours weekly on manual prospecting and follow-ups, from scouring leads to chasing unresponsive developers. Our AI automates 80% of this, reclaiming those hours for on-site work or family time. One client, a 20-person firm, reported saving 18 hours per week after integrating with their scheduling software—time their estimators now use for detailed quotes. Efficiency gains compound: outreach volume doubles without extra staff, leading to a 35% productivity boost per industry stats. We measure this via built-in tracking, ensuring ROI hits within the first month, often yielding $5K+ in additional revenue from faster closes.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive client and project data?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in home services, where you're dealing with property details and financial bids. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like SOC 2 and GDPR, and integrate two-way APIs that keep data within your control. No cloud dependencies mean no third-party risks; everything runs on your owned infrastructure. For contractors, this includes role-based access so only estimators see bid-related leads. We've audited systems for firms handling multi-million projects, preventing breaches that could derail client trust. Post-launch, we conduct quarterly reviews to adapt to evolving threats, ensuring your outreach remains reliable and confidential.
How customizable is the outreach to fit our local market and specialties?
Tailoring is our core strength—we design for your exact geography and services, like targeting coastal areas for storm-proofing or urban zones for interior fits. The AI ingests local data sources, such as county permits or HOA records, to craft messages that resonate, e.g., 'Based on your recent deck permit, here's how we can upgrade to composite materials.' Unlike templates, it's built around your workflow, incorporating specialties like electrical or plumbing tie-ins. A Texas contractor we worked with customized it for hurricane-season outreach, boosting leads by 40%. We collaborate via workshops to refine, delivering a system that's 100% yours, not a one-size-fits-all.
What if we already use tools like Buildertrend—will it integrate?
Seamless integration is a given; we've connected with over 50 home services platforms, including Buildertrend, Housecall Pro, and even custom estimating software. Our engineers create deep, bidirectional APIs that sync leads, bid statuses, and client notes in real-time—eliminating double-entry that plagues 70% of contractors. For example, a new inquiry from a local directory auto-populates in Buildertrend with AI-generated talking points. Setup is phased: we start with a compatibility audit, build secure connectors, and test with your live data. Post-integration, it unifies your stack, cutting errors by 60% and letting you track outreach ROI alongside project margins.
How do we measure the ROI of this custom automation?
We embed quantifiable metrics from day one, tracking key indicators like lead volume, response rates, and close ratios against your baselines. For general contractors, this means monitoring how many outreach emails lead to site visits or signed contracts, with benchmarks showing 2-3x ROI in the first 90 days. Dashboards visualize savings—e.g., $8K quarterly from reduced manual hours—and tie directly to revenue, like increased bids from automated developer follow-ups. We provide monthly reports with actionable insights, such as tweaking for better open rates on mobile for on-the-go clients. One firm saw a 28% win rate increase, directly attributable to personalized campaigns, proving the system's value beyond doubt.
