AI receptionist for contractors
An AI receptionist for general contractors.
New leads, current clients, subs and inspectors all call the same number. Leap answers, asks who's calling and why, and sends each one where it belongs.
Leap is an AI phone receptionist for general contractors and remodelers. It answers forwarded calls from new leads, current clients, subcontractors and inspectors, takes project type, budget range and timeline from leads, marks client and site calls for you, and sends each summary to the person your routing rules name.
609,100. Construction managers held about 609,100 US jobs in 2025; BLS says they may be on call around the clock for project emergencies.

Who's calling. Leap sorts new leads from clients, subs, suppliers and inspectors before taking details.
Budget + timeline. Remodel leads come with project type, budget range, timeline and whether plans exist.
Plain-English routing. Rules like "inspector calls go to the project manager" decide who gets each summary.
$149/mo. Leap costs $149 a month, first 100 calls included, then $0.99 a call.
Who calls a general contractor?
More kinds of people than most trades. A homeowner pricing a kitchen, a current client asking why the drywall crew didn't show, a sub confirming Thursday, an inspector moving a time, a supplier with a delivery question. Each needs a different person.
New project leads
Kitchens, baths, additions, basements, whole-home remodels.
Current clients
Questions about an active job, taken as messages for the project manager.
Subs and suppliers
Delivery windows, site access, invoices, routed by your rules.
Inspectors
Time changes and results, marked for the project manager.
What should the receptionist ask a remodel lead?
The project type, address, rough budget range, timeline, whether they have plans or an architect, whether they own the home, HOA or permit questions they already know about, and how they heard about you. Leap asks the questions you choose, in your order.
What does it sound like on the phone?
"Good afternoon. This is Ben from Keystone Builders. How can I help?"
"Do you do additions?"
Answered from your services list, then Leap takes the lead details.
"Are you licensed and insured?"
Read from the license and insurance card you approve.
"What's your minimum project size?"
Read from your card, so small jobs get a polite answer the first time.
Which contractor calls should go straight to a person?
Current clients with a problem, inspectors, and anything about safety on a job site. Leap marks those urgent and notifies your team during the call. You can turn on live transfer during office hours; the project manager hears who is calling and why before pressing 1. If someone reports an injury or a danger to life, Leap tells them to call emergency services now.
When do contractor calls come in?
All day, from people on job sites and homeowners on lunch breaks. BLS notes construction managers may need to be on call around the clock for project emergencies, and that 38% are self-employed (bls.gov/ooh/management/construction-managers.htm). Remodel leads tend to pick up when homeowners plan for spring and before holidays.
Ring-first mode lets you answer when you can; Leap takes what you miss. For nights, use your carrier's dial code or your phone system's call scheduling.

Frequently asked questions
Can Leap screen remodel leads by budget?
It asks for a budget range and reads your minimum project size if you add it. You decide who to call back.
Can subs and suppliers reach the right person?
Yes, with routing rules. Leap asks who's calling and sends the summary to the person you name.
