For general contractors
The best AI receptionist
for general contractors.
Full builds and renos start with a phone call you can't pick up.
A Saturday morning, told straight
A $300k addition starts with a phone call you can't pick up.
A family wants to add a 600 sq ft master suite. They've been quoted by two GCs already and want a third opinion. Their friend recommended you. They tap your number from her text.
You're on a roof framing trusses. Phone in the truck. They go to voicemail. They wait two hours. They don't hear back. They go with one of the two contractors they already met. That was a $280,000 job that came pre-warmed by a referral, and you missed it.
Foan picks up in two seconds, sounds like a competent estimator, and asks the questions that get a decent picture of the scope: what do you want to build, where on the property, do you have plans, do you have a budget number, is permitting started, when do you want to break ground. Books a site visit. Texts you a one-liner so you can call the homeowner from the framing job if you want.
GCs typically lose six-figure jobs the same way: the homeowner couldn't reach them, so they hired the contractor who answered. Referrals aren't enough on their own. You still have to pick up.
Foan also handles the late-stage 'when can I get an update on the change order' calls so the rest of your work doesn't grind every time a homeowner phones.
Same pattern works for additions, full builds, accessory dwelling units, commercial fit-outs, and renovation packages.
