Does it connect to Buildertrend?
Yes. Buildertrend is the project tool we see most in remodeling, along with JobTread and Houzz Pro. We use the access your account allows to read schedules and selections, log messages and create records. Where your plan falls short of what a build needs, the proposal says so before you sign.
Will homeowners know they are talking to AI?
We recommend being upfront, and most homeowners are fine with it as long as answers are fast and correct. The assistant introduces itself as your firm's assistant, answers what it can from the job record and hands anything personal, financial or delicate to your team.
Can it help with design-build sales?
It can qualify inquiries, book design consultations, collect photos and measurements ahead of the first meeting, and follow up on design agreements over the weeks a homeowner takes to decide. Your designer and salesperson still run the meetings. The system keeps anyone from falling through the cracks between them.
How does it handle change orders?
Your lead carpenter or project manager describes the change by voice or text. AI drafts the change order with pricing from your cost book and the schedule impact, and it goes to the homeowner for signature in your project software. Nothing is sent until someone on your team approves it.
We use a lot of subcontractors. Does that matter?
It helps. Confirming subs, sending them schedule changes and collecting their photos and invoices is a large share of what we automate for general contractors. Your subs simply get a text or an email, with no new software or accounts to set up on their end.
What does it cost?
Builds start at $5,000, with price, scope and timeline fixed in writing, and our price guide shows the ranges. Because remodeling tickets are large, a few extra signed projects or billed change orders go a long way toward the 300% first-year test, and we check that against your numbers on the free call.
