AI estimating and growth for construction companies

Faster estimates and more projects.

Send us the plans and get a take-off back the same day. And we find the people with upcoming work in your area (builders, GCs, developers and homeowners) and email them from your own inbox, in your words. You answer the phone and quote the job. Built for owner-run suppliers, builders and contractors.

Why owners call us

Slow estimates lose jobs. So do projects you never hear about.

You win on good work and a handshake. But estimating off a plan set takes days, and finding the next project gets done by whoever has time at the end of the day. Usually that's nobody.

Estimates eat the week

A plan set can run hundreds of pages. Counting lumber, block, brick, concrete or labor by hand means slow bids, and slow bids lose jobs.

No time to find new work

You run sales, crews, the yard or the jobsite. Finding the next builder, developer or homeowner gets pushed to "next week," every week.

No line of sight

Who did we reach? Who wrote back? Which jobs turned into orders? Without simple reports, it's all a guess.

Why "Builder's Son"

We grew up on the construction site.

When I was a kid, my dad ran a construction company. I watched him price jobs at the kitchen table and head out to the job site before the sun came up. Today he runs a block business, so I've seen both sides: building and supplying. Builder's Son is built for owners like him: people who built something solid and want it to keep growing. Every good build starts on a solid foundation. So does this.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us.

How accurate are the AI take-offs?

The estimating bot reads plan sets and produces material quantities fast, turning a long plan set into a same-day take-off for materials and quantities. Your team reviews and prices it before anything goes to a customer.

Who is this for?

Small and medium owner-run construction companies: building-material suppliers (lumber yards, block and masonry, ready-mix, brick and stone), builders and design-build firms, and contractors and subcontractors. If you want faster estimates and more projects without hiring an estimator or a sales team, it fits.

I'm a builder or contractor, not a supplier. Does it still work?

Yes. Suppliers use it to reach the builders bidding projects. Builders and contractors use it to reach developers, homeowners and GCs with upcoming work, and to turn plans into bids faster.

Will emails really come from my inbox?

Yes. Outreach goes out from your own email account, written in your voice, so replies come straight to you and the relationship stays yours.

What counts as a project we helped you land?

Projects that come from contacts or conversations our AI team generated. Your existing customers aren't included. Sourced sales are tracked through the QuickBooks connection so both sides see the same numbers.

How fast can we get started?

Setup moves quickly. In our first rollout, a family block supplier had a new site live and outreach running within days.

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. If you can send an email, you can use this. We handle setup, the connections and the website. You answer the leads and quote the jobs.
