The Missed Calls That Cost You Jobs

45%

Lost Leads from After-Hours Calls During Critical Project Phases

General contractors often miss high-intent calls during evenings and weekends—especially when scheduling critical milestones like rough-in inspections, final walkthroughs, or permitting process updates. With 45% of callers abandoning calls due to no answer, a homeowner seeking same-week scheduling for a site supervisor or change order approval may turn to a competitor. For example, a missed call on a Friday night during the framing phase could delay the entire project timeline by 3–5 days, costing $2,500+ in labor and subcontractor coordination delays.

82%

Inconsistent Availability During Work Hours Impacts Subcontractor Coordination

Field teams are frequently on-site, making it impossible to answer calls during key windows—such as when a plumbing subcontractor needs to confirm rough-in inspection timing or when a client requests a change order mid-week. With 82% of homeowners expecting a response within 30 minutes, a delayed reply can trigger frustration, especially when the project timeline is already tight. One contractor reported losing a $42,000 remodel job because the client felt ignored after waiting 2 hours for a response during a permit application deadline.

56%

No System to Track or Follow Up on Leads from Bid Package Inquiries

Many general contractors receive inbound calls about bid packages, but without a dedicated lead tracking system, follow-ups are inconsistent. A homeowner may call to request a quote for a kitchen remodel with specific materials and a performance bond requirement, only to be forgotten. According to industry data, 56% of contractors lose jobs due to poor communication—often because leads aren’t logged, assigned, or followed up within 24 hours. This results in missed opportunities, especially for high-value projects requiring liability insurance verification and subcontractor coordination.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr

Capture Every Lead, Every Time

Answrr captures every call—even after hours—automatically logging the lead with full context: project type (e.g., basement finish, roof replacement), urgency level, and client preferences. For example, a homeowner calling at 9:30 PM about a delayed permitting process receives an instant response, with the AI confirming the next steps and scheduling a site supervisor meeting the next morning. This reduces missed leads by 95% and ensures no opportunity is lost during critical windows like pre-inspection coordination or change order approvals.

85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back—Answrr ensures 100% of calls are answered, converting 32% of missed leads into booked appointments (based on client data from 2023)

Book Appointments Instantly

Your AI receptionist integrates with Calendly and GoHighLevel to instantly book appointments based on real-time availability. For example, a client calls to schedule a final walkthrough for a $68,000 custom home build—Answrr checks the project timeline, confirms the site supervisor’s availability, and books the walkthrough within 4 minutes. This eliminates 2–3 days of back-and-forth emails and ensures the project stays on track, reducing delays caused by scheduling bottlenecks.

41% of contractors say missed calls are their biggest source of lost business—Answrr reduces appointment scheduling time by 78%, increasing job intake by 40% on average (per 2023 contractor survey)

Never Lose a Job to Poor Communication

Answrr uses long-term memory to recall past projects, client preferences, and subcontractor coordination needs. For instance, when a repeat client calls about a bathroom remodel, the AI references their previous project timeline, notes their preference for a specific tile supplier, and confirms the subcontractor’s availability—all without human input. This personalization builds trust and reduces miscommunication, which is critical when managing change orders or final walkthroughs.

56% of contractors lose jobs due to poor communication—Answrr’s contextual memory reduces miscommunication incidents by 89% (based on client feedback from 12 general contractors)

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing jobs because our site supervisors were on-site and couldn’t answer calls during critical windows—like when a client needed a change order approved before the rough-in inspection. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured 92% of after-hours calls, booked 27 inspections in the first month alone, and reduced scheduling delays by 60%. One client even said, 'I didn’t expect a response at 8 PM—this is how a pro handles business.'

Owner & Project Director, Reed & Stone Construction, General Contractors

I’m not tech-savvy, but Answrr asked me about our services, built an agent in 8 minutes, and now answers every call—even at midnight. Last week, a homeowner called at 11:15 PM about a leak during the roofing phase. The AI confirmed our liability insurance, scheduled a site supervisor for 7 AM, and sent a change order request to the roofing subcontractor. We closed the job in 48 hours—something that would’ve taken 5 days before.

Project Manager, Coastal Build & Renovate, General Contractors

We used to lose 3–4 leads per week because our team was on-site or too busy. Now, Answrr handles everything: booking inspections, confirming performance bond details, and even reminding clients about upcoming final walkthroughs. Our job intake has increased by 52% in six months, and we’ve reduced client complaints about communication by 80%. It’s like having a 24/7 site supervisor who knows our project timeline and subcontractor coordination needs.
