🛠️ AI receptionist for contractors
AI for construction and trades: never miss a quote call again
An AI receptionist answers every call when you are on site, chases cold quotes automatically and keeps the diary full — without changing the tools you already use.
En una frase: EBROTECH puts AI agents on top of the software your construction or renovation business already uses (Procore, Buildertrend, Jobber), without migrating anything. We automate the work that falls through the cracks on site: answering enquiries you miss while working, chasing quotes that went quiet, confirming appointments and asking for reviews. It is AI on top of your existing tools, not a change of software.
AI for construction firms: the AI receptionist that stops the missed-call leak
If you run a renovation or building firm, the single most expensive thing you do every day is miss a call. You are up a ladder or under a kitchen, the phone rings, it goes to voicemail, and that potential £15,000 job rings the next builder on Google instead. AI for a construction business is, before anything else, the thing that answers that call. A voice AI picks up, takes the details, qualifies the job, and either books a site visit or texts you the lead with everything you need. You stop bleeding work simply because your hands were full. Everything else the AI does is a bonus on top of plugging that one leak.
AI agents for contractors: the AI employee that runs the office you never hired
Most builders and contractors do not have an office manager; they have a phone in a dusty pocket and a list of quotes they meant to follow up. An AI agent is the office you never hired. It answers enquiries, chases the quote you sent three weeks ago and never heard back on, confirms tomorrow's appointments so you do not drive to an empty house, and asks the happy customer for a Google review while the kitchen still looks brilliant. It has context on each job and each customer, so it is not a generic bot, it is the admin half of the business running itself while you are on the tools.
Connecting Procore, Buildertrend or Jobber to the AI layer
Bigger firms run Procore or Buildertrend; smaller contractors run Jobber, a spreadsheet, or a notebook. Wherever your jobs and quotes live, the AI layer reads from there to know which quote is outstanding, which appointment is tomorrow and which job just finished. The platforms with APIs connect directly; the spreadsheet-and-notebook setups work through a simple shared sheet or a lightweight CRM we set up. You do not have to adopt heavy project software to get the AI; if anything, the AI makes the lightweight tools you already use good enough.
Chasing quotes without being the annoying one
Quotes go cold for one reason: nobody followed up. But following up feels pushy when you are doing it by hand a week later. An automated sequence solves both problems. Two days after the quote, a friendly check-in. A week later, a 'still interested, happy to tweak the spec' message. Two weeks later, a final nudge. It is polite, consistent and never awkward, because it is just the system doing its job. Builders who turn this on typically recover a meaningful slice of quotes they had written off, which on construction tickets is real money, not loose change.
Claude Code and the tech behind it, no jargon
We build your automations with Claude Code from Anthropic, which is why this costs what a tradesperson can actually justify rather than enterprise prices. You do not touch any of it; it runs in the background. ChatGPT from OpenAI is handy for the odd admin job (writing a tidy quote description, a customer update), but it is generic and does not talk to your customers live. The voice AI and the follow-up agents are built for your business and connected to your jobs. The only thing you need to know is that it answers the phone and chases the work, so you do not have to.
AI for construction firms: return on investment when one recovered job pays for a year
ROI in construction is brutal in the best way: one recovered job usually pays for a year of the system. The maths is simple. If voice AI catches even one missed enquiry a month that turns into a £10,000-£20,000 job, the spend is trivial by comparison. Add the quotes recovered from automated follow-up and the time you stop wasting on no-show appointments, and it is one of the easiest cases to make. The table shows the hours saved and the typical revenue recovered across the firms we work with.

Voice AI for missed calls
When you cannot pick up, the voice AI answers, takes the job details, qualifies it and either books a site visit or texts you the lead. Recovering even one £10,000-£20,000 job a month from calls that used to go to voicemail pays for the whole system many times over.
15-25% of cold quotes recovered
Quote follow-up sequence
Every quote enters a polite, escalating follow-up: a check-in at 2 days, a 'happy to adjust' at a week, a final nudge at two weeks. Recovers 15-25% of quotes that would otherwise have gone silent, which on construction tickets is significant revenue.
Fewer wasted site visits
Appointment confirmations
A reminder the day before each site visit with confirm and reschedule buttons. You stop driving across town to an empty house, and the customer feels looked after before you have even arrived.
5x reviews in 60 days
Google reviews after handover
Right after a job finishes and the work looks its best, the happy customer is asked for a Google review with a direct link. Reviews are how local builders win the next job, and most never ask. This asks every time, automatically.
Nothing falls through
Enquiry capture across channels
Enquiries from your website, Google, WhatsApp and Facebook all land in one place, get an instant first reply, and get qualified. No more leads lost because they came in on a channel nobody was watching that day.
Smoother week, less chaos
Job scheduling reminders
Materials deliveries, subcontractor slots and customer appointments get automatic reminders so the week runs to plan. Less standing around waiting, fewer clashes, fewer angry phone calls.

AI on top of the software you already use
Preguntas frecuentes
Does it work with Procore, Buildertrend or Jobber?
Yes. Procore, Buildertrend and Jobber have APIs, so the AI layer connects directly to your jobs and quotes. If you run on a spreadsheet or notebook, we set up a simple shared sheet or lightweight CRM. You do not have to adopt heavy project software to get the AI.
What does the voice AI say when it answers my calls?
It answers in a natural voice, takes the caller's details, asks a few questions to qualify the job (type, location, rough timeline), and either books a site visit or texts you the lead. We script and tune the tone with you first, so it sounds like your business, not a robot.
Will the quote follow-up annoy my customers?
No, that is the whole point of automating it. The sequence is polite and spaced out: a friendly check-in, a 'happy to adjust the spec' message, a final nudge. It reads as good service, not pestering, because it is consistent and well-timed rather than a random late chase.
I am not technical at all. Can I still use this?
Yes, that is who it is built for. You do not touch any software. It answers the phone, chases the quotes and asks for reviews in the background. You just get the leads, the booked visits and the recovered jobs landing on your phone.
Is my customer data handled properly under GDPR?
Yes. We host on Hetzner in Helsinki (ISO 27001:2022 certified) inside the EU, sign a Data Processing Agreement, and the AI only reads what it needs. This covers UK GDPR and EU GDPR. Your customer details are not sold or used for anything other than running your follow-ups.
Is there a long contract?
Month to month, no lock-in. If it does not recover work in the first 30 days we refund the setup. On construction tickets, it usually pays for itself with the first recovered job.
How long until it is live?
Tier 1 Bridge: 2-3 weeks. Tier 2 Augment: 3-5 weeks. Tier 3 Migrate: 6-8 weeks including full setup and migration.
How does an AI receptionist work for a builder or tradesperson?
When you cannot pick up — because your hands are full on site — the AI receptionist answers the call in a natural voice. It greets the caller, takes the job details, asks a few qualifying questions (type of work, location, rough timeline) and either books a site visit directly or texts you a clean lead summary. You get the information you need without missing the call, and the potential client gets an instant response instead of voicemail.
I already use Jobber or a spreadsheet — do I need to switch tools to get the AI?
No. If you run Jobber, the AI reads your quotes and jobs through the API. If you run spreadsheets, we set up a simple shared sheet that the AI reads from. You do not have to adopt heavy project management software. The AI works on top of whatever lightweight system you have, and in many cases it makes the simple setup good enough without switching to anything more complex.
