The Missed Calls Cost Custom Home Builders

27%

After-Hours Inquiries Lost During Critical Phases of the End-to-End Construction Cycle

During the first quarter of 2025, 34,000 custom home building starts occurred—yet up to 27% of after-hours calls go unanswered, particularly during high-engagement windows like design finalization, permit submittal, and pre-construction walkthroughs. For custom home builders operating under a land-light model, where project timelines are tightly aligned with buyer decisions, missing a call at 8:30 PM from a buyer reviewing their tax basis in structure or finalizing a developed lot selection can delay the entire contract-based construction timeline by 2–3 weeks. This delay compounds when combined with high interest rates—78% of builders expect them to persist in 2025—making every unanswered call a potential loss of a $750K–$1.2M custom build.

High Interest Rates Delay Buyers

With 91% of builders citing high interest rates as a challenge, buyers delay purchases—making every unanswered call a lost opportunity.

61%

Staffing Gaps Hurt Lead Follow-Up

Real Results from Real Businesses

We’re a mid-sized custom home builder with 12 starts per year and a tight end-to-end construction cycle. Last winter, a buyer called at 9:15 PM after reviewing their developed lot options—our team was at a framing inspection. The AI receptionist answered, booked a 9 AM site walkthrough the next day, and even pulled up their preferred kitchen layout from our CRM. That lead closed in 11 days. Without it, we’d have missed a $925K project during a quarter where custom housing starts were flat. Now, we’re always on—even when we’re on site or sleeping.
