AI for construction and trades: no more quotes lost on site
On a roof, in a trench or behind the wheel, you can't pick up. The potential customer calls the next contractor. An AI voice agent takes the call, understands the job, asks for photos and books the site visit.
- Every call answered
- Qualified quote requests
- Site photos collected upfront
- Automatic quote follow-ups
In short
An AI voice agent for a tradesperson answers while you're on site, notes the type of work, the address and how urgent it is, collects photos and books a survey visit in your calendar. It never prices a job and never promises a grant: the price and the advice stay yours.
What an unanswered phone really costs
- 01
Missed calls during the day
On site, a tradesperson misses a good share of calls. A customer with a leak or a renovation project won't wait.
- 02
Wasted site visits
Driving out to survey a job that isn't ready, or is outside your area, costs half a day.
- 03
Quotes in the evening
Writing, sending and chasing quotes happens after working hours, when fatigue sets in.
- 04
Questions about grants
Customers ask whether their work qualifies for a regional grant. The rules change and differ between Wallonia, Brussels and Flanders.

Quotes, insurance and grants: never promise the wrong thing
In construction, one sentence too many can commit the business. The assistant stays factual and careful.
01
No price without you
The AI never prices a job. It collects the information and passes it on; only your written quote commits the business, as consumer information rules require.
02
Regional grants: point to the official source
Renovation grants are managed by the regions — for example Renolution in Brussels or Mijn VerbouwPremie in Flanders — and their conditions change. The assistant gives the general principles and the official link, without ever guaranteeing eligibility.
03
Insurance and mandatory mentions
For residential works covered by the Peeters-Borsus law, ten-year liability insurance must be stated in the contract. The assistant doesn't replace these documents: it refers to your written offer.
04
Customers' photos and addresses
Photos of a home's interior and its address are personal data: used only for the quote, stored on European servers and deleted after the agreed period.
The voice agent introduces itself as the business's virtual assistant (transparency required by the AI Act) and always offers a call-back from a person if the customer prefers.
Call the voice agent like a customer would
The voice demo puts you in the shoes of a customer calling about a job: explain what you need, give an address, ask for an appointment. You hear how the agent asks the right questions without wasting time.

Frequently asked questions from tradespeople
Can't find your answer? Call us, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
No. Your number stays the same: we set up forwarding so that calls you don't answer, or all calls if you prefer, go to the voice agent. You can switch forwarding off at any time.
No, except for a fixed rate you have approved, such as a call-out fee. For any job, it takes the details, asks for photos and offers a visit. The price is the one in your written quote.
You define what is urgent: a leak, a damaged roof, a heating failure. In those cases, the agent transfers the call to you or texts you the details immediately. Other requests wait for your summary.
It explains the general principles and links to the official portal of the region concerned, because conditions change regularly. It never promises that a customer qualifies: that has to be checked with the authorities or an advisor.
Small teams are often where a voice agent makes the biggest difference, because nobody is in the office. After the free consultation, we prepare a tailored quote based on your call volume and the use cases you choose.
