For specialty trade subs and small-to-mid GCs doing $3M–$30M — residential and light commercial.

The average $10M construction shop is leaking $600K–$1M a year.

PMs spend half their day chasing status. Bids go out late. After-hours service calls go to voicemail. Crews and ETAs get to the homeowner from the foreman, not the office. We find the four biggest leaks in 48 hours — and stop them.

Where do you serve construction companies?

We serve specialty trade subcontractors and small-to-mid general contractors nationwide. Sanders AI is headquartered in the Birmingham, AL metro, and the same agent stack runs for a flooring sub in Phoenix, a roofing crew in Charlotte, or a residential GC in Nashville.

Local Birmingham builders — we do work with you specifically. We’ve modeled jobs in Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, Homewood, Bessemer, Trussville, Pelham, Alabaster, Helena, and the 50-mile metro out to Cullman, Talladega, Pell City, Tuscaloosa, and Jasper. Same agents, same delivery cadence.

The four leaks below show up in every shop we’ve modeled — whether the trade is flooring, framing, drywall, finish carpentry, masonry, concrete, glass, roofing, or one of the mechanical / electrical / plumbing subs running residential or light-commercial scope. The dollar amounts move with job mix and revenue band. The leaks don’t.

Where the money goes

What does an AI agent actually do for a construction company?

Sourced AGC, NAHB, ABC, JBKnowledge, Procore
$10M revenue baseline
01 / The bid bottleneck

$280K/yr

Specialty bids go out late because the owner is the only one who can price.

Specialty trades bid 100–150 jobs a year and win about 20% — with quote turnarounds of four to six days because every bid waits on the owner. Faster, margin-disciplined bids move that win rate 5–7 points. On a $10M shop that is roughly $280K/yr in incremental won-bid revenue.

What we ship A Quoting Agent that reads the plans, takeoff, and your historical job library; drafts the bid with your margin guardrails; surfaces every assumption for the owner to correct in minutes — not hours.

02 / The service phone

$140K/yr

Your service phone rings after 5pm. Voicemail picks up.

For specialty subs and GCs running a service arm, commercial and high-end residential service work is the highest-margin revenue on the truck. About 27% of inbound calls go unanswered (Invoca industry benchmark); after-hours emergency calls leak to whoever picks up first. That is roughly $140K/yr in captured service-call revenue on a $10M shop.

What we ship A Service Receptionist that answers every inbound call 24/7, qualifies the call by trade and urgency, books the work into your dispatch software, and transfers true emergencies to your on-call lead.

03 / The daily status drag

$80K/yr

PMs spend 2 hours a day generating status nobody actually reads.

JBKnowledge ConTech survey data puts PM admin time around 35–40% of the workday — status updates, daily logs, owner check-ins, foreman text relays. Owners chase PMs. Homeowners chase owners. The Project Status Agent reclaims most of that hour-and-a-half for actual project management. On a $10M shop, that’s about $80K/yr.

What we ship A Project Status Agent that reads BuilderTrend / CoConstruct / Procore + daily logs + foreman texts, drafts a per-job morning digest for PMs to review, and sends owner and homeowner updates on the cadence each one wants.

04 / Dispatch and ETA

$70K/yr

Crews show up when they show up. Homeowners call the office to find out.

Crew routing and homeowner ETA comms live in the dispatcher’s head — or the foreman’s thumbs. Mis-routes and surprise no-shows cost service hours and Google reviews. AI-driven dispatch with automatic ETA texts recovers roughly 5–8% of crew capacity. On a $10M shop, that’s about $70K/yr in recovered productive capacity plus the customer-trust lift.

What we ship A Dispatch Agent that pulls jobs from your scheduler, sequences the day, routes crews, and texts homeowners and supers a real ETA when the truck is rolling — no human dispatcher writing every message.

Other agents we deploy on construction jobs:

The four cards above are the biggest leaks. Inside the AI Assessment, we also scope Submittals & Change-Order Agent (drafts submittals, RFIs, COs, and certified-payroll WH-347s from project specs and time tracking; ~$95K/yr in PM-hour reclaim + captured CO pricing), Punch-list Closeout Agent (tracks open items and triggers your final invoice the moment punch is signed; ~$85K/yr in working-capital + final-draw acceleration), Document Copilot (instant search across plans, specs, and submittal history for PMs and foremen; ~$55K/yr in lookup-time reclaim), and Review Request Agent for residential GCs where Google reviews drive local-pack rank.

That’s the average for a $10M specialty trade or small-to-mid GC. Yours is probably different — bigger in one spot, smaller in another. The $1,000 AI Assessment finds out where, in 48 hours, and tells you which agent stops which leak first.

After the assessment

What happens if you want to actually build the agents?

Flat monthly fee
One invoice. No API surprises.

If you decide to move forward after the consulting call, you move onto one of two locked, all-inclusive monthly subscriptions. Sanders AI Agents is the standing-build subscription — you tell us which leak to plug first, we ship the agent, we run it. Chief AI Officer is the fractional-executive tier — Justin embeds with your leadership team to set AI strategy across the company, then orchestrates the build behind it.

Both tiers are one flat monthly invoice. Sanders AI holds every key, every subscription, every model contract. You never see an OpenAI bill, an Anthropic bill, a Twilio bill, or a vendor mark-up surprise — we eat the volatility. Pricing is locked, not custom-quoted; the actual numbers belong on the consulting call after the report, where you can see exactly what your stack would look like.

The fine print

Outcomes vary by shop. Our only guarantee is the one on the AI Assessment — if AI does not save your business $1,000 or more in the first month after implementing our recommendations, email us and we refund the assessment fee.

Common questions

What construction owners ask before they book

How does the Project Status Agent build a daily status digest without manual entry from PMs?

The Project Status Agent reads the signals your jobs already produce — schedule and task changes in BuilderTrend, CoConstruct, or Procore; daily logs and time entries; emails between PM and super; foreman text-message check-ins; supplier delivery confirmations. It synthesizes one short digest per job each morning (what moved yesterday, what’s blocking today, what’s at risk this week) and sends it to PMs, owners, and homeowners on the cadence each one wants. PMs review and edit; they don’t write from scratch. JBKnowledge ConTech survey data puts PM admin time at roughly 2 hours per day per active job — the Project Status Agent reclaims most of that hour-and-a-half for actual project management.

Can the Dispatch Agent integrate with our scheduling software (e.g., BuilderTrend, CoConstruct, Procore)?

Yes. The Dispatch Agent connects to BuilderTrend, CoConstruct, Procore, JobTread, AccuLynx, Houzz Pro, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and any scheduling tool with an API or webhook (and to most of the rest through email-and-CSV plumbing). It reads the schedule, computes routes for crews, and sends ETA texts to homeowners and superintendents automatically. Where the integration is API-direct, dispatch writes updates back the same hour. Where it has to bridge by email or shared sheet, we set the sync cadence on the intake call.

How does the Quoting Agent work for specialty bid-out trades?

For specialty trades — flooring, drywall, framing, finish carpentry, masonry, concrete, glass, roofing — the Quoting Agent reads the plan set, takeoff, scope, and your historical job library, then drafts a bid with your margin guardrails for the owner’s approval. It is not a black-box estimator. It surfaces the assumptions, the line-item math, and the margin so the owner can correct it in minutes instead of pricing from scratch in hours. AGC and JBKnowledge benchmarks put specialty-sub win rates around 20% with quote turnaround of 4–6 days; faster, more disciplined bids move that win rate 5–7 points — roughly $280K/yr in incremental won-bid revenue on a $10M shop.

What about prevailing-wage / certified-payroll workflows on public projects?

Prevailing-wage and certified-payroll (WH-347 under Davis-Bacon, and the matching state forms) live in our Submittals & Closeout Agent. It pulls hours and crew assignments from your time-tracking system, applies the right wage determination for each classification, and drafts the weekly WH-347 for your payroll lead to approve and sign. We do not file on your behalf — the wet-signed statement of compliance stays a human-signed document. ABC and AGC training resources are the source of truth for the workflow; we automate the drafting motion, not the legal sign-off.

What does the $1,000 AI Assessment include?

Four things. (1) A ~20-minute intake call with Annie, our AI Intake Assistant, walking through your bid pipeline, PM paperwork load, service-call handling, and daily status motion. (2) A 48-hour written 10-slide AI Assessment report quantifying your four biggest leaks with dollar ranges modeled on AGC, NAHB, ABC, JBKnowledge, and Procore industry benchmarks for your revenue band. (3) A free 1-hour consulting call with our team after the report is delivered — open agenda, ask any AI question you want. (4) Our $1,000 first-month savings guarantee.

What is the free 1-hour consulting call?

After the AI Assessment report is delivered, you book an hour with the Sanders AI team. The agenda is open — work through the report, ask about a different AI question entirely, or talk through AI strategy for your build. It is not a sales pitch or a setup call. If you want to move forward with Sanders AI services after the consulting call, that is a separate conversation. The consulting hour is included with every $1,000 AI Assessment.

How is the $1,000 guarantee enforced?

If AI does not save your business $1,000 or more in the first month after implementing our recommendations, email us and we refund the assessment fee.

Which trades and contractor sizes do you actually work with?

Specialty trade subs and small-to-mid general contractors doing $3M–$30M in revenue — primarily residential and light commercial. Trades include flooring, framing, drywall, finish carpentry, masonry, concrete, glass, roofing crews, plus mechanical / electrical / plumbing subs running residential or light-commercial scopes. We are not the right fit for large-scale civil work, federal megaprojects, or heavy-industrial GCs — those operations have a different agent stack.
