AI receptionist for construction and design-build firms

WHY THIS MATTERS
Every missed call in construction and design-build firms is a competitor's win
Construction work means dust, noise, and a hard hat. You can't answer the phone from a roof or a foundation pour. Every missed call is a project that goes to the GC who picks up. 62% of callers who reach voicemail never call back, and 78% of leads choose the first business that responds. For construction and design-build firms, that means the next caller you miss is the next $18,000 kitchen remodel or full design-build contract job your competitor takes. Aira answers every call in 0.4 seconds, 24/7, in 31 languages — so the caller you would have missed becomes the customer you keep.
