Never Miss a $500k Bid Because You Were on a Job Site
Capture high-value leads, qualify subcontractors, and automate project updates 24/7 with an AI assistant that integrates directly with Procore, Buildertrend, and JobTread.
In the construction industry, the first contractor to respond to a bid request usually wins the project. With average residential contracts ranging from $50,000 to $500,000, missing a single inquiry because you were managing a pour or reviewing blueprints can cost you six figures in annual revenue. Most GCs are stretched thin between managing OSHA compliance, tracking local building permits, and coordinating dozen of subcontractors across multiple job sites.
Read Laboratories builds intelligent AI chatbots that act as your digital project coordinator. Unlike basic contact forms, our AI understands the difference between a high-intent kitchen remodel lead and a low-margin repair request. It gathers project dimensions, budget expectations, and site photos before you even pick up the phone, ensuring your pipeline is filled with qualified opportunities while you focus on project delivery.
Problems We Solve
Eliminate Lead Leakage
Stop losing $100k+ projects to the contractor down the street just because they answered the phone first. Our AI engages every visitor instantly, 24/7.
Subcontractor Coordination Overhead
Reduce the volume of 'where do I send my insurance certs?' or 'is the permit cleared?' questions by providing subs with an AI-driven portal for quick answers.
Incomplete Bid Requests
The AI requires users to upload site photos and specify project scopes (e.g., square footage, material preferences) before booking a site visit on your calendar.
Project Update Fatigue
Automate routine client updates regarding milestone completions or permit approvals, pulling data directly from your project management software to keep owners informed.
Change Order Friction

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with my existing project management software?
Yes, we specialize in connecting our AI agents to industry-standard tools like Procore, Buildertrend, CoConstruct, and JobTread using API integrations or Zapier.
Can the AI distinguish between a lead and a current client?
Absolutely. The AI uses conditional logic to route current clients to project updates and new visitors to the lead qualification and bidding workflow.
How does it handle complex building code questions?
We train the AI on your specific service areas and local building codes. If it encounters a question it can't answer with 100% certainty, it gracefully hand-offs to you via SMS or email.
Is it difficult to install on my website?
Not at all. We provide a single line of code that works with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or any custom-built site. We handle the technical setup from start to finish.
Can it help with subcontractor onboarding?
Yes. We can configure a specific flow for subcontractors to submit W-9s, insurance certificates, and safety compliance docs, which are then organized for your office manager.
What happens if a lead wants to speak to a human immediately?
The AI can be configured to 'Live Transfer' high-priority leads directly to your cell phone if they meet certain criteria, such as a project budget over a specific threshold.
