AI Phone & WhatsApp Agent for General Contractors
A general contractor runs a handful of jobs in motion while every new call is a potential project with an unknown budget, scope, and timeline. Sending an estimator to a tire-kicker eats an afternoon, and a proposal that is not followed up quietly dies. Zepiva gives general contractors an agent that qualifies the lead before anyone leaves the office, books only the site visits that matter, and keeps every open proposal and milestone alive.
The challenges general contractors face
Real problems these businesses deal with daily — and the gaps an AI agent can fill.
Qualifying the real projects
Every inquiry sounds serious for the first minute. Sorting the homeowner with a budget and a timeline from the one with no plan is the difference between a profitable week and a calendar full of tire-kickers.
Long quotes and long decision
A remodel or an addition takes weeks to scope and quote, and instead of a quick yes the customer thinks about it. That gap is where the proposal gets lost.
Milestones across multiple jobs
Permits, inspections, trades, and payments stack on each project. Juggling several of those at once is exactly where the details fall, right when the phone starts ringing again.
How Zepiva fits into general contractors
Specific features mapped to the way your business actually works.
Lead qualification lines
The voice agent runs the qualification script you set: the project, the budget, the timeline, the property, and the decision maker. A lead that matches gets a site visit booked; the rest leave the office line for real work.
Plans and photos over WhatsApp
A homeowner with plans or photos of the space sends them in chat. The agent attaches them to the lead file and confirms the visit, so the estimator walks in already knowing the job.
Proposals and milestone updates
The proposal goes out by email after the visit and the follow-up keeps it alive. Once the job is running, the client gets milestone updates on permits, inspections, and payments without calling to ask.
Site visits and project phases
The agent holds your calendar for site visits and the subs coordination, and it tracks each project from initial call to final inspection. Deadlines that matter do not fall between two jobs.
A day in the life of a general contractor
Qualification, visits, and proposals run while the crews stay at work.
A homeowner asks about a kitchen remodel. The agent qualifies the budget, timeline, and scope, flags it for an estimator, and books the site visit.
Another call wants a 'small job' but cannot name a budget or a timeline. The agent takes the details and routes it to the return-call list instead of the estimator's calendar.
After the kitchen visit, the agent emails the proposal document and sets the two-day follow-up.
The rough-in milestone is reached. The agent updates the client and schedules the inspection coordination the project needs.

Gold fits a general contractor's mix of volume and follow-up: three numbers cover the office line, a projects line, and WhatsApp, with 150 calls a day and the proposal and milestone follow-ups that win the work.
