Our Custom-Built Lead Scoring Solution
We've engineered AI systems for construction firms facing the same daily grind—from bid management to on-site delays—delivering field-tested results that stick.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf lead scoring feels like using a one-size-fits-all hard hat on a custom job site. It ignores the grit of your workflow, like varying permit timelines or material cost fluctuations. At AIQ Labs, we build a tailored AI model from the ground up. It analyzes your historical bids, prospect interactions, and even integrates data from tools like Procore or your ERP. You're probably thinking, 'How does this fit my exact needs?' Simple: we start with your data, train the model on real construction scenarios—like scoring a lead higher if they've got a history of on-time payments or match your specialty in steel fabrication. Flexible and scalable, it's not a template—it's your system's backbone, owned by you, no subscription traps.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock These Game-Changing Benefits
Pinpoint High-ROI Opportunities
Pinpoint High-ROI Opportunities: No more guessing which leads will turn into signed contracts. Our system scores prospects based on fit for your services—like prioritizing those with multi-phase commercial projects involving structural steel fabrication—helping you close 25% more deals without extra outreach effort, as seen in a 6-month rollout for a mid-sized firm. It's like having a GPS for your sales pipeline in a maze of RFPs.
Streamline Your Sales Workflow
Streamline Your Sales Workflow: Reduce time spent qualifying leads from hours to minutes. The AI flags hot prospects ready for site visits, integrating seamlessly with your scheduling tools like Procore or Autodesk BIM 360. Construction teams report saving 15 hours weekly on bid reviews, letting foremen focus on builds like foundation work instead of cold calls.
Scale with Seasonality in Mind
Scale with Seasonality in Mind: Construction ebbs and flows with weather and budgets—our model adapts by factoring in regional permitting cycles, scoring leads higher during peak seasons for infrastructure work like bridge retrofits. This means steadier revenue, with one client seeing a 40% uplift in winter bids after a 3-month implementation, stabilizing crew hours year-round.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, we were buried under 200 leads a month, half from small residential gigs that didn't fit our commercial focus on high-rise concrete pours. Now, it scores them on budget and timeline match, pulling in specs from our estimating software—last quarter, we landed a $2M school renovation with precast panels we almost missed. It's cut our follow-up time in half and boosted our win rate on public sector bids."
Mike Harlan
VP of Business Development, Harlan Construction Co. (Specializing in Urban Commercial Builds)
"Our old CRM just dumped leads without context, like ignoring a site's geotechnical soil report for foundation bids. This custom scorer pulls in data from our field apps like Fieldwire and flags prospects with solid subcontractor ties for plumbing and electrical. We've boosted close rates by 35% on infrastructure projects, including a $1.5M water treatment facility, since rolling it out three months ago."
Sarah Ruiz
Sales Director, Ruiz Builders Inc. (Infrastructure and Utility Projects)
"Dealing with seasonal dips was killing us—too many low-ball bids in off-months for roadwork due to rain delays. AIQ built this into our scoring, weighting leads by economic indicators and local DOT funding cycles. It's like adding rebar to our pipeline; we secured three major highway contracts totaling $4.5M this year that kept the crew steady through winter, avoiding layoffs."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring handle the variability in construction projects?
Construction isn't cookie-cutter—projects vary by site conditions, budgets, and timelines. Our custom AI model is trained on your specific data, like past bids for high-rise vs. roadwork, to score leads accordingly. For instance, it might boost a score if a prospect's RFP aligns with your expertise in sustainable builds. We integrate factors like seasonal weather impacts and material costs, ensuring scores reflect real-world feasibility. Clients see more accurate predictions, with one firm reporting 28% better alignment on project fits within the first quarter. It's flexible, so as your focus shifts—say, to green energy—we retrain it without starting over.
What data sources does the system use for construction-specific scoring?
We pull from your core tools: CRM entries for lead interactions, project management software for historical bids, and even ERP for financial health indicators. Add in external data like regional building permits or economic forecasts tailored to construction. No generic inputs here—it's all about your workflow. For example, if a lead mentions a tight deadline, the AI cross-references it against your average completion times from past jobs. This creates a 'single source of truth,' reducing errors from siloed data. Setup takes about two weeks, and we ensure privacy compliance with industry standards like those for subcontractor info.
Can this integrate with our existing construction software stack?
Absolutely—unlike rigid templates, our solution is built for deep, two-way integrations. We connect seamlessly with platforms like Procore for job site updates, Autodesk for design specs, or Viewpoint for accounting. If you're using a mix, we map it all into one flow. Here's the thing: we've done this for firms with legacy systems, creating custom APIs that don't disrupt operations. One client integrated it with their bidding tool in under a month, instantly scoring leads based on subcontractor availability. It's production-ready, scalable, and owned by you—no fragile connectors that break during peak seasons.
How long does it take to see ROI from lead scoring in construction sales?
You're probably thinking it sounds great but wonder about quick wins. Most clients notice improvements in 4-6 weeks, with full ROI in 3-6 months. For construction, this means prioritizing leads that convert to contracts faster—think 20-30% shorter sales cycles on average. A mid-sized builder we worked with saved 12 hours weekly on qualification, landing two extra $500K projects in the first half-year. We track metrics like lead-to-bid conversion rates from day one, adjusting the model to hit your targets. It's ROI-driven: if it's not paying off in pipeline velocity, we refine it at no extra cost.
Is the lead scoring system customizable for different construction niches?
Yes, it's 100% tailored. Whether you're in heavy civil engineering or custom home builds, we customize the algorithms to your niche. For a civil firm, we might emphasize scores for government contracts and permitting history; for residential, focus on buyer demographics and lot sizes. We start with a workshop to define your 'hot lead' profile—like prospects with budgets over $1M and clean safety records. The result? A system that feels like an extension of your team. One specialty contractor in bridge work adapted it to score based on DOT compliance, boosting qualified leads by 40% in six months. Flexible, field-tested, and built just for you.
What happens if our lead volume spikes during bidding season?
Construction bidding seasons can flood you with leads—our system is designed to scale without a hitch. Built on robust frameworks, it handles surges like 500+ leads weekly, processing them in real-time without slowdowns. We've stress-tested it for clients during peak times, like summer infrastructure pushes, ensuring scores update instantly as new data comes in from trade events or referrals. No crashes or backlogs; it's like reinforcing your sales pipeline with steel beams. Post-launch, we monitor performance and optimize, so you stay ahead even when things heat up. Clients report maintaining 95% accuracy during high-volume periods.
