Contractors and excavation
A contractor website and a phone that answers while the crew is working.
General contractors, developers and property managers call when they have work to award. If that call reaches voicemail while your crew is on site, the bid goes to whoever picked up. We build the website that gets you found and vetted, and the voice agent that takes the scope while you work.
What goes wrong
Where contractor work gets lost.
The work is not the problem. Being reachable, and looking the part when someone checks, is.
The GC call during a pour
The phone rings while everyone is in a trench or on a lift. The GC with the next job leaves no message and moves down the list. You never hear about the project.
Nothing to find when they vet you
Before a GC or a project manager calls you back, they look you up. If they find nothing, or a page that has not changed in years, you are asking them to take a chance.
Bids that never get chased
You send a number and hear nothing. Nobody follows up, because the person who would is running the job.
What we build
What we build for contractors.
One team for the site, the phone and the follow-up, so a bid request never falls between vendors.
Website
A page for each type of work you do and each area you cover, a gallery of your real jobs, and a bid request form that asks what you need to price the work.

Answers while the crew works, takes the caller, the site location, the scope and the timeline, and texts it to whoever is on point.
Learn moreMissed call and bid follow-up
A missed call gets a text back automatically. A bid you sent gets a planned follow-up, so it does not go quiet.
Learn moreAds, when they make sense
We run and manage ads aimed at the people who award your kind of work. You grant access, the spend runs on your own card, and the account stays yours.
Learn moreHow a call is handled
One bid request, start to finish.
A project manager calls at 10 AM while your crew is below grade. Here is what happens next.
01
Answered in your name
The agent picks up as your company and finds out who is calling: a GC, a developer, a property manager or a homeowner.
02
Scope captured
It asks what you would ask: the type of work, the site location, the timeline, whether plans are available, and the best way to reach them.
03
Routed to you
Urgent requests are texted to you or rung through, by your rules. Everything else is logged with a summary, ready for a callback when you are out of the hole.
Case study
An underground utility contractor, built from nothing.
Jason Underground Utilities installs underground utilities and fire mains across Greater Houston. It had no website, and the people who would answer its phone spend the day on job sites.
- A website that explains what the company does and where, with a clear way to get in touch.
- A voice agent trained on the business: its services, its area and the details a crew needs to call back.
- An operations log that keeps calls, inquiries and jobs in one place.
Where it stands: everything is built. Launch is waiting on the company’s own domain and phone number, so there are no call numbers to report yet, and we do not report any. Read the case study
We are an underground utility company, we dig ditches, not build websites. SyX Solutions came in, understood our business in a day, and built us a complete digital presence with an AI receptionist. Now every call gets answered professionally, even when we are 10 feet underground on a job site.
Hear it first
Hear the kind of agent we build.
Our own front desk is answered by the same kind of agent, trained on our business instead of yours. Call it and hear what a GC would hear.
- Ask it something a project manager would ask.
- Interrupt it and go off script.
- Yours knows your trades, your area and who to text.

Questions
Contractor questions, answered.
Anything else, ask our own agent at (832) 660-0658 or send us a note.
How does a voice agent help when my crew is on site?
Every call that would have gone to voicemail goes to the agent instead. It answers in your company name, takes the details of the job, and sends you a summary by text, so no lead goes cold while you are working.
What kinds of calls can it handle for a contractor?
Bid requests from general contractors, availability questions from property managers, developers looking for subcontractors, and existing customers checking on a job. It sorts the call, collects the details and routes anything urgent to your phone.
Do I really need a website if my work comes from referrals?
Referrals still look you up before they call. A site that shows the work you do, the areas you cover and real photos of your jobs makes the referral easier to act on, and lets new customers find you too.
Can you run ads aimed at general contractors and developers?
Yes, when ads make sense for your market. You grant access, the spend runs on your own card and the ad account stays yours. See ads management.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. In most setups your existing number forwards to the agent, either all the time or only when nobody picks up. We confirm the right setup for your phone system on the first call.
How long does setup take?
It depends on the scope, and you get the timeline in writing on the first call. We would rather give you a date we can keep than a number that sounds good on a web page.
What does it cost?
Every engagement is scoped on the call, based on what you need and nothing more. You get the number on the call, not a quote three days later.
