Answer every enquiry instantly, collect photos and measurements before the consult, follow up quotes, and track permits and HOA approvals after signing. Can it handle design photos and measurements? Yes. Intake forms collect photos and measurements up front, so your consult starts with what you need. We use Jobber — is that a problem? No. We build on Jobber, HubSpot or whatever you already use, rather than moving you to something new. Do customers know they’re talking to AI? You decide. Most builders use agents to draft and schedule messages that go out under your name, with a person approving anything important. ## Find out where your team’s hours go. A 30-minute call. We’ll walk through your onboarding, leads and busywork, and tell you what’s worth automating — and what isn’t.
