What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend leads on custom deck builds because no one was available to discuss composite decking options or permit requirements. Now, it qualifies inquiries and books on-site consultations instantly—we've closed three extra jobs this quarter, all from Saturday afternoon chats about railing installations."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera Deck and Patio Specialists
"Integrating this with our scheduling software was a game-changer. A client messaged at 10 PM about a kitchen demo timeline, got an instant update, and we started the next week. Cut our follow-up calls by 40% and kept the project on track."
Sarah Patel
Senior Project Manager, Patel Kitchen and Bath Renovations
"As a small crew focused on whole-home remodels, we couldn't afford round-the-clock staffing. The bot handles complex permit questions for window replacements and provides accurate lumber quotes on the spot—one instance, it identified a local zoning restriction during a chat, averting a $5,000 rework. Our revenue from extension projects is up 25% year-over-year."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle complex project inquiries, like custom structural changes?
Our intelligent assistant is trained on your specific data, including past blueprints and client specs, to provide detailed, accurate responses. For instance, if a client asks about load-bearing wall removals, it pulls from your records to outline feasibility, costs, and next steps. If it gets too technical—like engineering calculations—it seamlessly transfers to your structural expert via integrated messaging. This ensures 85% of queries resolve without human intervention, based on our deployments, while maintaining the personal touch general contractors rely on. We customize the logic to match your workflow, avoiding generic replies that could undermine trust.
Can it integrate with my existing tools like Procore or Buildertrend?
Absolutely. We engineer deep, two-way API integrations that sync real-time data from your project management software. The chatbot can check job statuses, update timelines, or even attach photos from site logs directly in the conversation. For a general contractor juggling multiple builds, this means a client querying about a foundation pour gets an instant update without you lifting a finger. Our approach eliminates silos— no more manual entry that leads to errors on punch lists. In one case, a client saw their update times drop from hours to seconds, boosting on-time completions by 28%. It's built to fit your stack, not force a switch.
What if the chatbot can't resolve a client's issue immediately?
We've designed escalation paths that feel natural, not robotic. The AI detects complexity—say, a dispute over subcontractor delays—and politely hands off to the right team member, pulling in chat history for context. It's like having a skilled apprentice who knows when to call the foreman. Notifications go via your preferred channel, like Slack or email, ensuring nothing falls through. Post-handoff, it follows up automatically to confirm resolution. This hybrid model has helped firms retain 95% of at-risk clients in our experience, turning potential complaints into loyal repeat business for services like electrical upgrades.
Is the chatbot secure for sharing sensitive project details?
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where bids and timelines involve proprietary info. We use enterprise-grade encryption and compliance standards like SOC 2, ensuring all chats are logged securely without exposing data. Access is role-based, so only authorized crew see details. For example, when discussing a client's budget for a luxury remodel, the bot anonymizes sensitive figures until verified. Regular audits and our in-house platforms' track record—handling regulated voice AI—prove our reliability. No breaches in over five years. This peace of mind lets you focus on builds, not worries.
How quickly can we get this up and running for our team?
From consultation to live deployment, most general contractors see results in 4-6 weeks, depending on integration depth. We start with a rapid audit of your current setup, then prototype core features like quote generation for common jobs. Testing involves your team simulating real scenarios, like after-hours calls on window replacements. Once live, we provide training and monitor for the first month to optimize. One partner went from concept to capturing leads in just 28 days, integrating with their QuickBooks for instant invoicing previews. It's agile, not a drawn-out overhaul, so you gain 24/7 support without disrupting ongoing projects.
Will the chatbot improve our lead conversion rates specifically for general contracting?
Yes, by addressing the unique pain points of your industry. It qualifies leads based on project scope—filtering serious remodel inquiries from casual ones—and nurtures them with tailored info, like timelines for permitting in your region. Industry data shows chatbots can lift conversions by 40% in services like yours, and our custom builds often exceed that by personalizing responses. For instance, it can reference local building codes to build credibility instantly. Trackable metrics in our dashboard show ROI clearly, with one contractor reporting a 32% increase in booked foundation jobs from chat-originated leads within three months.
