Built For Construction Companies
Most enquiries are the same handful of questions — what you do, where you work, whether you're licensed, and roughly what it costs. FastBots trains on your website and answers those first, then captures the project details your estimator actually needs before following up.
Providing AI Chatbots to Trusted Brands Around The World
Snelle antwoorden
A construction chatbot is an AI assistant on your website that answers the questions prospects ask before they request a quote — services offered, areas served, licensing, rough pricing and project examples. FastBots trains it on your own site content so the answers match what your company actually does.
Yes. The chatbot can gather the basics — project type, address, rough budget bracket and timeline — through a lead form inside the conversation. Those details land in your inbox, so the estimator opens the call already knowing whether the job is a fit.
Only the ranges you tell it to share. You can instruct the bot to give ballpark figures for common project types and always confirm that final pricing comes from an estimator after a site visit. It won't invent firm numbers.
Yes — that's where it earns its keep. Plenty of homeowners research contractors in the evening or at weekends, so the chatbot handles those questions and captures enquiries when your office is closed.
Waarom FastBots?
Homeowners research contractors at night and on weekends. The chatbot handles scope, licensing and service-area questions when no one's at the office.
Built-in lead forms collect name, address, project type and budget bracket, then email them to your estimator so nothing falls through the cracks.
Tell the bot your service area and it can politely turn away jobs outside it — saving your estimator from chasing leads in the wrong zip codes.
One of the first questions every serious prospect asks. The chatbot answers consistently from your trained content, with your license numbers if you choose to include them.
Give it ballpark figures for kitchens, basements and additions. It can quote ranges and always defer the firm number to your estimator after a walkthrough.
On the Business plan and above, a real team member can step in when a prospect with a clear project wants to talk to a human right away.
Through Zapier or Make, captured enquiries can flow into Procore, Buildertrend, JobNimbus or a Google Sheet once the chat ends.
Subcontractor pitches and unrelated requests can be routed differently, so your estimator only sees genuine homeowner project enquiries.
Praktijksituaties
Kitchens, baths, basements and additions are the bread and butter. The chatbot explains your process, shares ranges and books the call.
Explain how your design-build process works, what's included, and how long the design phase typically runs before construction starts.
Answer questions from business owners about office build-outs, retail fit-outs and timelines, then route serious enquiries to your commercial estimator.
Walk prospective homeowners through your build process, lot requirements and rough cost-per-square-foot ranges before passing them to your sales team.
Confirm whether you work in their town or county before anything else, so the estimator never wastes time on jobs an hour outside your radius.
Share your license numbers, insurance details and any trade certifications consistently — the questions that come up on every first call.
When someone asks 'can I see your work', point them to your gallery, case studies or specific project pages on your website.
Detect when an enquiry is from a sub or supplier and direct them to the right inbox, instead of clogging your sales pipeline.

Installatie
FastBots crawls your services, project galleries, service-area pages and FAQs, then trains a chatbot on that content so answers match how you actually describe your work.
Huisstem
Plain, confident and grounded. Share honest price ranges when asked, but always defer the firm number to an estimator after a site visit. Never commit to start dates or completion timelines.
Tell the bot what to share — service areas, licensing, ballpark ranges — and what to defer. A simple rule like 'never quote firm pricing' keeps it grounded.
Drop the embed snippet into your site (WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix and most builders are supported) and the chat widget is live.

Ik heb fastbots een maand fastbots getest tijdens de training voor mijn opleiding tot Certified Sustainability Specialist. Na een maand trainen ben ik tot de conclusie gekomen dat het systeem heel eenvoudig te implementeren en flexibel is. Daarom heb ik besloten een abonnement te nemen.

Dit zijn de vragen die we het vaakst krijgen voordat teams zich aanmelden. Als jouw vraag er niet bij staat, reageert ons ondersteuningsteam op werkdagen binnen enkele uren.
No. It handles the repetitive questions — what you do, where you work, rough costs — and captures project details for the estimator to follow up. The actual quoting, site visits and judgement calls still happen with a person.
Not natively. The chatbot can capture the enquiry — project type, address, preferred times — and email it to your team, or send it into your CRM through Zapier or Make. The booking itself still goes through your team or your existing scheduling link.
You decide what it shares. Most contractors give it ballpark ranges for common project types and instruct it to always defer the firm number to an estimator after a walkthrough. It won't invent figures it hasn't been trained on.
Not as a native integration. You can push captured leads into those tools through Zapier or Make once the chat ends, which works well for sending new enquiries straight into your sales pipeline.
A form is one-way — the prospect fills it in and waits. The chatbot answers their questions first (licensing, service area, rough cost) so they actually commit to leaving details. It's also an AI assistant rather than pure Q&A: with live internet search turned on, it can look things up the moment a visitor asks, instead of telling them to call back.
You can train the bot to recognise sub and supplier enquiries and direct them to a separate inbox or page. It won't fully eliminate noise, but it stops them landing in the same pile as homeowner project requests.
Most contractors get a first version live in around 5 minutes — point it at your website, let it crawl the services and gallery pages, set a couple of guardrails and paste the embed snippet into your site. Refining the tone and guardrails takes a bit longer.
Yes, on the Business plan ($89/month) and above. Live Chat lets a team member claim a conversation, see what the prospect has already asked, and reply in real time. Useful for serious enquiries where the homeowner wants to talk to a human.
There's a free plan with 1 chatbot and 50 messages a month — enough to build and test on your own site. Paid plans start at $39/month, with Live Chat available from $89/month on the Business plan. See current pricing for full limits.
Yes. FastBots states that uploaded data isn't used to train the underlying AI models, and data handling is GDPR compliant. You can also make a chatbot private, whitelist domains and add password access if needed.
Point it at your website, set a couple of house rules and have it answering project enquiries today. No credit card required to start.
