Keep the next project moving while your team handles this one

A customer calls for a quote while your office is arranging work and your crew is at a job site. The opportunity needs a useful answer, but it should not require somebody to stop what they are doing.

Your virtual receptionist for contractors can answer business questions, capture the project and follow your next-step rules. Aira brings that intake together with call history, supported booking and a customer record, with setup and integration support included.

Book estimates with the project details already collected

Ask about the type of work, property address, timeline, budget range and preferred appointment times. Those are the useful questions from your existing estimate process, collected before your team returns the call.

With scheduling enabled and a supported calendar connected, your receptionist can book the estimate visits you allow. Projects needing review stay with your estimating team, so a request does not become a promise about price, materials or availability.

Route customer questions without playing dispatcher all day

A new estimate, an existing project and an urgent service request may need different people. Choose the questions that identify the request and the supported transfer path to your office, project contact or on-call person.

Keep a message fallback for calls nobody accepts. Your AI receptionist can make the handoff without claiming to know a crew's live location or promising dispatch. Your team decides who is available and what work to take.

Capture evening quote requests with a clear follow-up

Homeowners may research a contractor in the evening or on the weekend. Your AI answering service for contractors can explain your services and capture the request while interest is fresh.

Keep the project details, summary, transcript and recording together. Use supported connections to send the outcome into the tools your office already uses. Start with your service area, business information and call rules, then test an estimate, an existing-customer call and an after-hours inquiry.

More time for the work that matters.

“Most of those questions were already answered on our website. Aira handling them gave us more time for the calls from people who actually needed work done.”

“We used to get a lot of spam calls and solicitors wasting our office's time. Aira weeds those out and gets us to the homeowners who actually need roof work, so my sales guy can stay focused on closing jobs.”

“I honestly expected it to sound kind of stiff or robotic. I loved how natural and expressive the voices sounded, and that there were so many different options to choose from.”
