The General contractor office that answers at 2am — and books the job.
Bid intake, sub coordination, COI & permit tracking. Your assistant knows this trade: what counts as an emergency, which jobs are common, and which questions to ask — because it starts from a playbook built for general contractor, then learns your services and policies.
These escalate to a human immediately — the caller gets safety guidance while the owner's phone rings:
- structural collapse, a sagging floor or ceiling, or an unsafe active job site
- water actively flooding from a burst line or open plumbing during work
- a gas line or utility struck during demo or excavation
- exposed live, sparking, or downed electrical wiring on site
- storm or fire damage leaving the property open and unsecured (roof/wall breach)
- Capture every bid inquiry so the pipeline keeps moving
- Request, collect, and track certificates of insurance from subcontractors
- Coordinate subcontractor scheduling and confirm crew availability by trade
- Track permit and inspection status for each active job
- Route change-order and stop-work decisions to the owner immediately
Plus quiet-hours texting, missed-call text-back, appointment reminders, and the morning briefing — the standard Conduit office.

Questions from general contractor owners
Does it understand general contractor emergencies?
Yes — out of the box it treats structural collapse, a sagging floor or ceiling, or an unsafe active job site, water actively flooding from a burst line or open plumbing during work, a gas line or utility struck during demo or excavation as emergencies: the caller gets safety guidance and the owner's phone rings immediately, with a backup contact if there's no answer.
Will it quote prices on the phone?
No — never. It books the visit and takes the caller's details; pricing stays yours to discuss. Setup starts from a template of common services for your trade so it knows what you offer and how long each visit runs.
How fast can I be live?
About 30 minutes of setup, then your assistant gets its own local number — instant, nothing to forward. Prefer your existing number? Forward it any time; it stays yours and it's reversible.
