The Missed Calls That Cost You Jobs

30%

Missed Calls During Critical Phases of Turnkey Projects

General contractors often miss calls during high-stakes moments like the Project Kickoff or Final Walkthrough, when homeowners are finalizing change orders or verifying compliance with the construction schedule. With 78% of customers refusing to leave voicemails, a missed call after hours—especially during weekend site inspections or permit approval deadlines—can cost a GC a $50,000+ turnkey project. This is especially common when subcontractor coordination requires immediate input, and the GC is on-site with no access to a phone.

82%

Delayed Responses Undermine Credibility During Permitting Process

When homeowners contact a Prime Contractor to inquire about the permitting process for a basement conversion or addition, a 45-minute response time can make your business appear disorganized. With 82% of homeowners expecting a reply within 30 minutes, delayed answers during this phase can lead to lost trust—especially when competing with other GCs who respond instantly. This is a critical moment where a quick, professional reply can secure the job before the homeowner contacts a competitor.

37%

Lost Lead Data During Site Supervision and Change Order Discussions

During site supervision, GCs are often away from the office and unable to take calls. A homeowner calling about a change order for a kitchen remodel or a delay in the construction schedule may hang up if no one answers. Without a system to capture lead details—such as the scope of work, preferred timeline, or budget—your team loses valuable data. This contributes to the 37% of contractors who report losing jobs due to poor communication during the quoting phase, especially when multiple subcontractors are involved.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr

Book More Jobs with Faster Responses

An AI receptionist answers every call within 3 seconds—whether it’s a 7:30 PM emergency call about a roof leak or a 9 AM inquiry about a bathroom remodel. The system captures the homeowner’s name, project type, preferred contact time, and urgency level, then auto-logs it into your CRM. For example, one GC in Austin used this to convert 12 emergency repair leads into $18,000 in same-week revenue, with 85% of those leads citing 'fast response' as their top reason for choosing them.

Never Lose a Lead to a Competitor

When a homeowner calls for a licensed GC to handle a home addition, your AI answers immediately with a professional greeting: 'Thank you for contacting SummitBuild Contractors. We’re currently handling 3 active turnkey projects and can schedule your free quote within 24 hours. Would you like to speak with our lead estimator?' This immediate engagement prevents the 85% of callers who hang up after voicemail from going to a competitor. One GC in Denver reported winning 7 out of 10 competitive bids after implementing AI answering—specifically because their response time was faster than rivals who used human receptionists with 2-minute delays.

Cut Phone Costs Without Sacrificing Service

Switching from a $4,500/month human receptionist to Answrr at $99/month saved a 15-person GC firm in Portland $52,800 annually. The AI handles 120+ calls/month across 4 project zones, including after-hours emergency calls for storm damage repairs. It also sends automated reminders for upcoming site supervision meetings and final walkthroughs, reducing missed appointments by 60% and improving client satisfaction scores by 32%.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing 30% of leads because our crew was on-site during peak calling hours—especially after we started taking on large turnkey projects. Now, our AI receptionist answers every call, even at 8 PM when a homeowner calls about a leaking foundation. It captures the issue, logs it into our project tracker, and schedules a site visit within 2 hours. In just 3 months, we booked 14 new projects worth over $320,000—most of them from leads we’d have otherwise missed.

Owner & Lead General Contractor, General Contractors

I was skeptical—how could an AI handle a homeowner’s concern about a change order delay? But after testing it for two weeks, I was shocked. The AI asked the right questions: 'Is this a bathroom remodel or a full home addition?' 'Do you need a quote within 24 hours?' It even flagged urgent calls for roof repairs and routed them to our emergency response team. Since then, we’ve reduced our average response time from 48 minutes to 17 seconds—our client satisfaction score jumped from 4.1 to 4.8.

Project Manager & Licensed GC, General Contractors

We’re a Prime Contractor managing 8 subcontractors on a 5-unit townhome development. With 20+ calls a day about scheduling conflicts and permit updates, our team was drowning. Now, the AI handles all inbound calls, captures details about the construction schedule, and sends automated summaries to our project coordinator. Last month, we avoided a $12,000 penalty for a missed milestone because the AI flagged a delayed permit request and alerted us 3 days early.
