The Cost of Missed Calls for Contractors

12

Missed Calls Cost $12K+ in Lost Projects Monthly

With an average of 12 missed calls per week—equivalent to 50 missed leads per month—General Contractors lose high-intent clients who expect a response within 15 minutes. For example, a homeowner calling after reviewing your bid package on a $45K kitchen renovation may abandon the project if they don’t hear back before lunch. Without a system to capture these leads, you risk losing change orders, subcontractor coordination opportunities, and even progress payment timelines due to delayed project kick-off meetings.

34%

No Dedicated System for Tracking Client Inquiries = Lost Follow-Ups

Only 34% of General Contractors use a dedicated system to track incoming calls, leading to inconsistent follow-ups on critical milestones like site walkthroughs, permit applications, or final walkthroughs. One contractor reported losing three potential clients in a single month because their team forgot to confirm a permit application deadline after a client called during a busy week. Without a centralized log, important details like scope of work changes or subcontractor availability fall through the cracks.

45%

Delayed Responses Break Trust During Critical Phases

When field teams are on-site or in meetings, clients calling about a change order or permitting timeline often get voicemail. Since 78% of customers won’t leave a voicemail, and 45% abandon projects after a delayed response, contractors risk losing jobs during high-stakes moments. For example, a homeowner asking about a delay in the framing phase due to a subcontractor scheduling conflict may hire a competitor if they don’t get an immediate update—potentially leading to a construction lien if the original contractor fails to deliver on time.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr

Capture Every Lead

Your AI receptionist answers every call 24/7—whether you're at a site walkthrough in the middle of a basement remodel or in a meeting with a roofing subcontractor. It captures leads instantly, logs the inquiry with key details like project type (e.g., full home remodel), timeline expectations, and preferred contact method. One contractor reported capturing 92% of missed leads in the first month, including three $65K bathroom renovation inquiries that were previously lost due to on-site call coverage gaps.

Book Appointments Instantly

Clients can schedule site walkthroughs, project kick-off meetings, and final walkthroughs directly during the call using a real-time calendar sync. The AI confirms the date, time, and location, then automatically adds the appointment to your project management software. One contractor reduced their average client onboarding time from 7 days to 24 hours after implementing the AI, enabling faster bid package submissions and earlier subcontractor coordination.

Built for Construction Communication

The AI understands construction-specific language like 'change order approval,' 'permitting timeline,' and 'progress payment schedule.' When a client calls asking, 'Can we get the permit application submitted by Friday?' the AI confirms the current status, checks your permitting timeline, and books a follow-up with your project manager—ensuring no delays in the critical path of your project. This reduces miscommunication and helps prevent costly construction liens.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing about $12K in potential jobs every month because we couldn’t answer the phone during site walkthroughs. After implementing Answrr, we captured every lead—even during a 3-day framing phase on a $90K custom home. Now, we schedule 40% more site walkthroughs and have a 98% client follow-up rate. The AI even reminds us when a change order is due for approval, so we’re not behind on progress payments.

Owner, Thompson Custom Builds, General Contractors

I manage 12 active projects at once—ranging from basement finishes to whole-home renovations. The AI remembers past conversations, like when a client said they wanted a specific tile from the bid package. It automatically pulls that info during follow-up calls, so I don’t have to dig through emails. Our client satisfaction score jumped from 4.2 to 4.9 on the last survey—especially after the final walkthrough was scheduled instantly post-call.

Project Manager, Horizon Build Group, General Contractors

I’ve been in the business for 18 years and never used tech like this. The AI onboarding assistant asked me about our services, set up our hours, and even learned how we handle permitting timelines. Now, when a homeowner calls about a bathroom remodel, the AI books a site walkthrough for next week—no more missed opportunities. I’ve booked three new projects in the last 10 days that would’ve been lost before.
