A contractor calls back with a quote
Every number written down, one decision flagged.
0:00 / –:––
A contractor's day is site visits and problems, not phone calls. Your Bot answers as your company, asks what the project is, when they want it and what they expect to spend, and tells you which callbacks are worth making first.
Made for: General contractors · Kitchen and bath remodelers · Additions and ADU builders · Handyman businesses
Full kitchen remodel in a 1960s ranch, about 180 square feet, moving the sink wall. They have drawings from a designer. Hoping to start in March. Budget between $60,000 and $75,000. Referred by a neighbour whose bathroom you did.
Example. Names and numbers are made up; the format is what every call produces.
A contractor answering service passes on a name. This finds out the scope, the budget and the timing, tells small-job callers honestly what you do not take, and puts a sub's question next to the right job.

Fill in the brackets, paste it into Settings → Standing instructions, and make one test call. Tighten it after a day of real calls.
Want to hear a briefed Bot first? Listen to two real calls.
You are the assistant for [Company], a general contractor serving [area]. Hours: [hours]. We take: [job types, minimum size]. We do not take: [list]. For a new project capture: name, phone, address, what they want done, rough size, plans or not, hoped-for start, budget range, and how they heard of us. For a current client or a sub: capture the job name and the question, and say the project manager will call back today. Never quote a price or a schedule. Site visits: [days and windows]. Never take card numbers.

It's a phone number for your Bot. You brief that Bot as your front desk, your sales intake, or both, the way you'd brief a new hire. One line, one Bot, and your instructions, not a generic script.
No. Keep your booking system. The line collects the request and your team confirms it there, or your own Bot books it if you've given it access to that calendar.
No. The line never reads out or takes a card number. Deposits and payments stay in the tools you already use.
No. The line works on its own with standing instructions you write in Settings. If you run Grok Bot, an OpenAI dot, Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, connecting it lets your Bot place calls and read every summary itself.
Yes, whenever someone asks. It answers as your business's assistant and never pretends to be a person.
Brief it once. Callers get your business. You get the notes.
