The AI receptionist for concrete contractors
An AI receptionist for concrete contractors answers the phone while you are on a pour and can't put the float down. It picks up every call and text 24/7 in English and Spanish, gets the details on driveways, patios and foundations, books estimates on your calendar, and texts you a summary.
Call the receptionist and hear it for yourself.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you.The calls a concrete contractor actually gets
Concrete calls come in while the truck is backing up and the mud is going off. These are the ones you used to miss.
Driveway replacement
A homeowner's driveway is cracked and heaving. The receptionist gets the address, rough size, tear-out needs and timeline, then books an estimate.
Patio and walkway quotes
"Can you pour a stamped patio off my back door?" It collects the size, finish and access, and asks for photos if you want them.
Foundation and slab work
A builder needs a slab for a garage or a shop. It takes the job details and texts you so you can call back the same day.
Weather and schedule calls
Rain is coming and a customer wants to know if Thursday's pour is still on. It answers from your notes or texts you the question.
Why concrete contractors put it on the phone
Don't leave the pour
You can't stop finishing to grab a ringing phone. The receptionist answers every call on the first ring instead.
Job details up front
Square footage, tear-out, access for the truck and timeline come in a written summary so you can price before you drive out.
Estimates booked
Qualified leads get booked for an estimate on your calendar by your rules, with the job details attached.
English and Spanish
Customers and crew get answered in English or Spanish, by call or text, 24/7, including early mornings before a pour.
Builders put through
Set rules so your builders and GCs get put straight through to you while homeowners get booked for estimates.
Same number
Your number gets ported in, so the number on your truck, signs and listings keeps working.

Questions owners ask
Can it tell homeowners what a driveway costs?
It can answer from the pricing rules you give it, or collect the details and book an estimate. The Instant Estimator can give a price on your website.
What does it ask on a new lead?
Whatever you set. Most concrete contractors want the address, type of work, rough size, tear-out, finish, access for the truck and timeline.
Can my GCs and builders reach me directly?
Yes. You set transfer rules so certain callers go straight through and everyone else gets a summary texted to you.
Does it work after hours?
Yes. Calls and texts get answered 24/7 in English and Spanish, so a homeowner calling at night gets booked.

The AI Receptionist is $297/mo, with the first 3 months at $97/mo. Month to month, no contract.
