AI Receptionist for Heavy & Civil Construction

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We build a qualification script using your criteria — project type (mass excavation, trenching, grading, dewatering), minimum contract value, timeline, site access, and utility conflicts. The AI asks these questions naturally and only books calls that meet your thresholds.","question":"How does the AI know which excavation leads are worth my time?"},{"answer":"The AI qualifies and books — it doesn't engineer. For technical deep-dives, it seamlessly hands off to your estimator or PM with full context: project address, scope notes, urgency, and any documents the prospect uploaded.","question":"Can it handle technical questions about shoring specs or compaction requirements?"},{"answer":"Yes. Worqd works with your existing CRM, calendar, phone, and document tools — including Buildertrend, Procore, JobTread, and others. No platform switch, no data migration. We connect via API or Zapier in the setup phase.","question":"We use Buildertrend for project management. Does this integrate?"},{"answer":"Most excavation contractors go live within 5–7 business days after the growth call. Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days; SEO and AEO compound over months. You'll see qualified conversations in week one.","question":"What's the typical timeline from sign-up to first booked site walk?"},{"answer":"Answering services take messages. Chatbots answer FAQs. Worqd's AI Receptionist qualifies using your business rules, books directly on your calendar, reactivates your old bid list, and runs the creative and ad campaigns that drive the calls in the first place — one partner, one report.","question":"How is this different from hiring an answering service or using a chatbot on our website?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Book a Growth Call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We find where your lead handling breaks — missed after-hours calls, slow quote follow-up, cold bid lists — and map the fix."},{"step":"2","title":"Launch Your AI Receptionist","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"We build your qualification script (project scope, timeline, budget, site conditions), connect your calendar and CRM, and go live in days — not months."},{"step":"3","title":"Watch Booked Site Walks Fill Your Calendar","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"Qualified prospects show up ready to walk the site.
