The Cost of Missed Calls for General Contractors

27%

Missed Calls During Critical Job Site Hours – Losing Leads on Active Turnkey Projects

During peak construction phases—such as framing, rough-ins, or final inspections—your team is often on-site with limited access to phones. With 27% of calls going unanswered, you risk losing high-intent leads for urgent change orders, permitting delays, or last-minute subcontractor coordination. For example, a homeowner calling about a leaking roof during a storm may never follow up if they don’t get a response within 15 minutes—especially when your crew is mid-structural inspection on a $250K turnkey project.

12%

Inconsistent Response Times Undermine Owner-Contractor Trust

Only 12% of general contractors use automated call systems, leaving you vulnerable during critical windows like bid package submissions or permit approval deadlines. When a homeowner calls at 4:58 PM asking for a same-day quote on a bathroom remodel with a tight project schedule, a delayed response can cost you the job—especially when competitors with AI receptionists reply in under 90 seconds, reinforcing their reliability in the owner-contractor relationship.

100%

No Lead Tracking System Hinders Subcontractor Coordination and Change Order Management

Without call recordings or transcripts, you can’t track lead sources, follow up on change order inquiries, or verify what was discussed during a client call. This creates blind spots in your project schedule—especially when a subcontractor calls about a delayed delivery and you can’t reference prior conversations. Inconsistent follow-up leads to misaligned expectations, delayed permits, and strained subcontractor coordination.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr

Capture More High-Value Leads

Capture 40% more high-value leads by converting urgent calls into booked appointments—especially for emergency roof repairs, storm damage mitigation, or last-minute change orders. For example, a homeowner calling at 5:30 PM about a burst pipe during a basement renovation can be immediately routed to your project manager with a pre-filled intake form, reducing response time from 2 hours to under 2 minutes.

85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back—especially for time-sensitive issues like permitting delays or safety-related concerns.

Cut Phone Costs by 80%

Cut phone and staffing costs by 80%—saving $25,000 annually—by replacing a full-time receptionist ($4,000/month) with an AI virtual assistant that handles 150+ calls/month, even during peak job site hours. The system logs every call, tracks lead sources, and auto-creates follow-up tasks in your project management software, ensuring no subcontractor coordination or change order request falls through the cracks.

$2,100 average cost of a missed lead for general contractors, based on lost project revenue and client acquisition costs.

Professional Image, Always

Maintain a professional image 24/7—critical during bid package submissions or client site walkthroughs. When a homeowner calls at 8:00 PM to confirm their kitchen remodel timeline, the AI assistant references their previous project, confirms the current phase of the construction timeline, and schedules a follow-up with your project manager—all within 3 minutes. This consistency builds trust and positions you as a premium Prime Contractor.

91% of customers say they’d recommend a contractor who responds promptly—especially when planning a multi-phase renovation.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We lost 30% of leads last year because our crew was on-site during framing or electrical rough-ins. Now, Answrr captures every call—even during critical milestones like structural inspections. Last month, a client called at 6:15 PM about a permit delay on a $320K custom home. The AI assistant recorded the issue, sent it to our project manager, and scheduled a call before the next morning. We kept the job and even secured a change order for an upgraded foundation. It’s like having a second team that never sleeps.

I’ve been in construction for 18 years and never thought I’d need tech help—but Answrr changed that. I was on a job site in downtown Portland when a client called about a leaky window during a rainstorm. The AI assistant asked for the address, pulled up their 2023 siding project, and booked a same-day inspection. I got the call, confirmed the visit, and closed the job in under 24 hours. We’re now booking 45% more after-hours appointments—especially for emergency repairs and change orders.

Our clients love that they can get a free estimate anytime—even on weekends. Answrr remembers past projects and even says things like, 'How’s that garage addition going? We’re ready to start the roofing phase.' That personal touch builds trust. One client referred us to three neighbors after that conversation. We’ve reduced our follow-up time from 48 hours to under 15 minutes—critical when we’re juggling three active projects and subcontractor coordination.
