Where jobs slip away.
You're on site, not at a desk
Between inspections and deliveries, nobody's watching the office line. Bid requests wait days.
Bids that were never real
No lot, no budget, no timeline. Unqualified walk-throughs cost your estimators whole afternoons.
Big leads land on the wrong desk
A $200,000 addition lead should go to your senior estimator, not whoever picked up.
Five jobs, tuned for construction & contracting.

Plan in winter, build in spring
Owners want bids in winter so they can break ground when the weather turns. Cindy books walk-throughs during the planning months so your spring is full.
Workflows
When a web form arrives, Cindy texts the lead, adds a note and notifies your estimators.
Estimates & payments
Send the bid, turn it into an invoice, and collect draws in the same place as the lead.
What are unanswered leads
costing you?
Missed calls and unanswered messages. Cindy answers both.
Estimate only: leads a day × 365 × close rate × job value. Assumes Cindy wins back 80%.
Questions
Can Cindy screen out bids that aren't real?
Yes. Add qualify rules for land ownership, timeline and project type. Unclear leads stay Unqualified with a note.
What about calls from subs and suppliers?
If a caller asks for a person, Cindy transfers them. If nobody answers, she takes a callback request.
Can she route big projects to my senior estimator?
Use the priority queue to put your senior estimator first. Leads move down the list as each person hits their limit.
Does she do commercial work too?
Yes. Set rules for the commercial jobs you want, and Cindy qualifies and books them the same way.
