With over 50 construction projects under our belt, we've engineered AI that understands the grit of job sites and the nuances of client bids.
Why Choose Us

It's flexible, integrating directly with your estimating software and CRM to score leads on factors like urgency (e.g., 'move-in ready by summer?') and fit (e.g., matches your specialty in historic restorations). You're probably thinking, 'Does this scale for my crew size?' Absolutely—it's designed for your exact needs, turning chaotic lead flow into a streamlined pipeline that drives ROI like a well-oiled backhoe.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, we were swamped with leads from Google Ads—half were just dreaming up kitchen ideas without real budgets. Now, it scores them based on mentions of timelines, square footage, and appliance specs, and we've closed three major custom cabinetry projects worth $200K in the last two months that slipped through before."
Mike Rivera
Senior Project Manager, Rivera Renovations LLC
"Our crew was burning weekends on referrals that tanked due to hidden permitting snags on electrical rough-ins we couldn't foresee. The custom scoring AI now flags those risks by analyzing our historical job logs for zoning variances, cutting no-shows by 40% and letting us focus on high-margin framing jobs. It's truly tailored to our on-site realities."
Sarah Chen
Founder and Owner, Chen Home Builders Inc.
"I was doubtful about AI for lead gen, but after they customized it for our historic restoration niche—factoring in details like heritage brick sourcing and period lumber matching—it's like adding a dedicated quantity surveyor. We prioritized a lead specifying 'authentic Victorian trim,' secured a $150K contract, and had the full integration running in under three weeks."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for renovation contractors?
Standard CRMs like Salesforce give basic lead grading, but they don't dive into construction specifics—like analyzing a lead's mention of 'ASAP kitchen demo' against your typical 8-week timelines or material cost fluctuations. We build a custom AI that learns from your unique data, scoring on renovation realities such as permitting hints or scope creep risks. For instance, if a lead skips budget details, it drops their score automatically. This isn't plug-and-play; it's engineered for your workflow, integrating with tools like your bid software to predict closes with 30% better precision. We've helped contractors like you cut unqualified bids by half, focusing efforts on projects that actually break ground.
What data do you need to start building the lead scoring system?
We start simple: access to your past 12-24 months of lead records, including inquiries, estimates, and close outcomes from sources like website forms or referral logs. No need for perfect data—we handle the cleaning. For renovation pros, this means pulling in details like project types (e.g., roof repairs vs. full extensions), initial budget ranges, and follow-up notes. If you use tools like Jobber or Housecall Pro, we integrate directly. The goal? Train the AI on what makes your leads convert, like urgency in summer reno rushes. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, and we ensure zero disruption to your current ops. You're in control, owning the model outright.
Can this system handle seasonal fluctuations in renovation leads?
Absolutely—construction is all about seasons, from spring flip booms to winter slowdowns. Our custom AI incorporates seasonality into scoring, analyzing patterns like higher intent for indoor remodels in rainy months or outdoor decks in early summer. For example, it might boost scores for heating system upgrade leads in fall based on your historical data. Unlike generic tools that treat all leads equally, ours adapts dynamically, preventing overload during peak times. One contractor client saw a 25% reduction in wasted follow-ups during their busy season, as the system prioritized viable projects amid the influx. We fine-tune it quarterly to match your market, ensuring it scales with your business rhythm.
How secure is the lead data in your custom scoring system?
Security is non-negotiable in construction, where leads often include sensitive details like property addresses and budgets. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, with role-based access so only your sales team sees scores. Compliant with standards like GDPR and CCPA, plus construction-specific needs for subcontractor info sharing. No third-party cloud dependencies that could leak—it's hosted on your choice of secure infrastructure. We've audited systems for 30+ firms, and post-launch, we provide ongoing monitoring. Think of it as reinforcing your digital foundation: solid, breach-proof, and built to protect your competitive edge in the reno game.
What kind of ROI can a renovation contractor expect from this?
ROI hits fast and hard—expect 20-40% more closed deals in the first 3-6 months by focusing on high-scoring leads that fit your wheelhouse, like mid-range home additions. For a typical contractor handling 40 leads monthly, that's potentially $100K+ in extra revenue from avoided lowball chases. We track it via built-in metrics: time saved on quals (15-25 hours/week), conversion uplifts, and bid efficiency. One client, a bathroom specialist, recouped our fee in two months through five extra jobs scored as 'hot' based on their demo urgency patterns. It's practical, field-tested math: less driving to duds, more signatures on dotted lines, all tailored to your profit margins.
How long does it take to see results after implementation?
You won't wait long—initial scoring kicks in within 4-6 weeks from kickoff, with the AI refining itself over the first month using live data. Early wins? Immediate prioritization of your top 20% leads, cutting chase time right away. For renovation firms, this means faster site visits to committed clients, like those specifying 'tile selection next week.' Full ROI materializes by quarter two, as patterns from your bid history sharpen predictions. We've deployed for contractors who reported 18% close rate jumps in month one, simply because the system weeded out the 'just browsing' inquiries. It's designed for quick integration, minimal training, and ongoing tweaks to keep delivering.
