AI phone assistant for contractors, builders and handymen
You are up on the scaffolding, cutting a beam to size or driving to the builders’ merchant, and the phone rings. You cannot answer. The AI phone assistant picks up, notes who is calling, what the job is and when, and sends you a summary.

What the assistant helps you with
Quote requests
Dormer, extension, bathroom or a new floor: the assistant notes the job, the address, the preferred period and a call-back number, so you can schedule a site visit.
Call-back requests
A customer with a question about an ongoing job, or a supplier: the assistant notes who called and why, so you can call back at a quiet moment.
Standard questions
Which area you cover, which jobs you do and when you can be reached: the assistant answers based on the information you provide.
After hours
In the evening and at weekends your phone still gets answered, if you set it up that way. The request is ready for you, complete, the next working day.
Example: a quote request for a dormer
This is a made-up example. It shows how a call could go while you are on the scaffolding and cannot answer. How your assistant handles the call is something you set up with us.
Made-up example
- Assistant: Good afternoon, you are speaking with the AI assistant of [your company]. How can I help you?
- Caller: I would like a quote for a dormer at the back of our house.
- Assistant: I will note that. May I have your name and the address of the property?
- Caller: [name and address]
- Assistant: Thank you. When would you roughly like the dormer to be fitted?
- Caller: Preferably in the spring. Roughly what will it cost?
- Assistant: I cannot give a price. [Your company] will give you one after a visit to your home. I will add your question. Which number can we call you back on?
The summary you receive afterwards
- Type of call
- Quote request
- Name
- [caller’s name]

When you come down from the scaffolding, you have everything at hand to call back and plan a site visit.

Frequently asked questions
What does an AI phone assistant do for a contractor?
An AI phone assistant answers the phone when you are on site or cannot pick up. It logs quote and call-back requests with name, address, job and preferred period, answers standard questions based on your information and sends you a summary after every call.
Does the assistant quote prices or a schedule?
No. The assistant does not promise prices, quotes or start dates. If a caller asks about them, it notes the question so you can call back yourself.
Can I keep my own phone number?
Yes. You set up call forwarding to the assistant with your phone provider, for example when you do not answer, when the line is busy or outside working hours. Customers simply call your usual number.
Does it work with a Dutch mobile (06) number?
Yes. You can set up call forwarding on a mobile number too, for example when you do not answer or are on another call. How you set it up differs per provider. Some providers charge for forwarded calls; check this with your own plan.
What happens outside working hours?
If you set up forwarding that way, the assistant also answers in the evening and at weekends. It logs the request and the summary is ready for the next working day. Want to be called straight away for emergencies, such as a leaking roof after a storm? Putting calls through to your mobile is possible by arrangement.
What about the GDPR?
The assistant only asks for what is needed to call back or prepare a quote, such as name, address, phone number and the job. We sign a data processing agreement with you and agree in advance which data is recorded and for how long. The voice technology comes from specialised providers, some of them based outside the EU. More in our privacy statement.
What does an AI phone assistant cost for my construction business?
From €79 per month, plus a one-off €250 setup fee. All amounts are excl. 21% VAT, business customers only. The exact price depends on what the assistant needs to do for you. You receive a proposal in advance.
