Construction contractor

Quotes out fast, sites supplied, clients updated.

Estimating prep, supplier orders, site-progress logs and client updates run on agents; the contractor builds instead of doing paperwork at night.

Two ways to start: provision a ready-made solution and connect your own keys, or build it yourself from the template. Free during beta — see pricing.

In practice

An inquiry for a bathroom renovation lands Monday. The estimating agent builds the quote skeleton from the price book by lunch; the contractor adjusts two numbers and sends it. On the running job, Friday’s photos become the site log and the client’s weekly update — drafted, approved, sent.

How everyone works together

How it works

  1. 1

    An inquiry arrives; the estimating agent prepares the quote skeleton from your price book.

  2. 2

    Won jobs get a supplier order plan; the procurement agent drafts the orders.

  3. 3

    Daily site photos and voice notes become a dated site log.

  4. 4

    Clients get a weekly progress update drafted for your approval.

  5. 5

    Extras beyond the quote become change orders, never freebies.

Set it up with prompts

Three ways to build this — pick a variant and type the prompts in order. Each step says which agent to address. A working Construction contractor workspace in minutes.

Inquiries become quotes in a day — from your own price book.

  1. 1Build the deskOnboarding box

    New workspace → "Describe your company" → Build my company

    Set up my contracting business: an Estimating agent that takes each inquiry, asks the three clarifying questions I always ask (scope, access, timeline), and builds a quote skeleton from my price book sheet — line items, quantities to verify on site, and my standard terms. Every quote is a draft I finalize. Contractor seat for me.

    Quote turnaround drops from a week to a day — your prices, your terms, your final word.

  2. 2Connect the appsYou (UI)

    Apps → Connect

    Connect Gmail and Google Sheets with your keys/OAuth. Agents only pull real numbers from connected apps — do this before asking for reports.

  3. 3Load the price bookCore Agent

    Inbox → Core Agent

    Save my price book as the Estimating agent's knowledge (pasting the sheet): labor rates by trade, standard line items, markup rules (materials +15%, subs +10%). It never quotes below these without flagging.

    Your pricing becomes systematic — no more 11pm quote math.
