What does an AI receptionist for builders do?
+
It answers your phone while you are on site or with clients, qualifies new enquiries by budget, land, approvals and timing, books site meetings and passes client and supplier messages to the right person. Compared with a basic answering service for builders, it screens each lead first.
Can it screen out enquiries that do not fit?
+
Yes. You set your rules, such as a minimum budget, suburbs you build in or project types you take on. Enquiries outside them are thanked politely and, if you choose, given a referral, while suitable ones are booked straight in for a meeting.
Will it give clients a price or a start date?
+
No. Miya never estimates the cost of a build or commits to timing. She only shares fixed fees you list, such as a consultation charge, and passes pricing and scheduling questions to you with the client's details already recorded. That keeps expectations realistic from the very first call.
How are calls from suppliers and subbies handled?
+
Miya asks which job they are calling about and what they need, then turns it into a short message for the site supervisor or office. Delivery times, invoice queries and access questions stop interrupting your client meetings. Each message records the job address, so nothing gets mixed up between sites.
Does it connect to building management software?
+
Not yet. Site meetings land in Google Calendar or Calendly, while RingOut keeps a written note of each conversation, ready to copy into your project software when it suits you. Many builders move confirmed meetings across in a few minutes each evening.
How much does an AI receptionist for builders cost?
+
Builders can start small on Starter, costing $49 monthly with 60 minutes included. Most building companies settle on Growth, $149 a month, which covers 250 minutes and records client calls. All prices are in AUD before GST, without setup fees or lock-in. Plans can be changed whenever enquiry volume shifts.
