General Contractor Automation

What’s included for general contractors

The Construction Snapshot for GHL is a done-for-you GoHighLevel install that drops a complete lead-capture, AI-communication, and review layer into your account. It is not estimating or project-management software — it is the system that makes sure every lead gets answered, qualified, and booked before a competitor gets to them. All 11 features come tuned to how a GC actually wins residential work:

• AI Caller — a 24/7 voice agent answers your phone, qualifies the homeowner on scope and budget, and books the site visit. Bilingual English and Spanish.
• AI Chatbot — handles website and social chat, answers common questions, and books the consultation without a human.
• SMS Automation — missed-call text-back, appointment reminders, and long-cycle follow-up, with TCPA-compliant opt-out (STOP) handling.
• Google My Business Reply Automation — every GMB review and question gets a timely, on-brand reply.
• Instagram DM Automation and Facebook Messenger Automation — inbound social messages get answered and routed to a booking.
• Review Harvesting Automation — after the job closes, the system asks for the review at the right moment.
• Appointment Automation — booking, reminders, and no-show recovery keep your calendar full.
• CRM & Workflow Automations — pipelines, tags, and 60+ prebuilt workflows nurture the long GC sales cycle.
• Prebuilt Website — a contractor site built to convert inbound traffic into booked consultations.
• Snapshot Automation System — the complete, done-for-you install of all of the above.

Together: the AI caller and chatbot capture every inbound call, web, and social inquiry and book the consultation; SMS and appointment automation cut no-shows and keep the calendar full; CRM and 60+ workflows nurture the long decision window; review harvesting and GMB reply build the reputation that wins the next job.

How it differs from project-management CRMs

Buildertrend, JobNimbus, and CoConstruct are jobsite and project-management tools. They are excellent at running a build — but they assume the job is already sold. They do not answer the phone at 7:42 PM when a homeowner calls about a kitchen remodel. They do not text a missed-call lead back in ten seconds. They do not chase the review that decides whether the next homeowner on that street calls you or the competitor with 40 more reviews.

The Construction Snapshot is the front-of-funnel lead-capture, AI-communication, and marketing layer that sits in front of those tools. Keep your PM software. Stop losing jobs to faster-responding competitors.

General contractor-specific edge

A GC’s economics live on response speed and a long, multi-touch decision window. Most homeowners are talking to two or three contractors at once, and the one who answers first and follows up consistently usually wins. The AI caller and chatbot make sure you are always the one who answers first — 24/7, in two languages, on your calendar. The 60+ CRM workflows then keep every lead warm through the days or weeks it takes to sign, instead of relying on whatever you remember to do between jobsite visits. And review harvesting compounds: every closed job that ends in a five-star review puts you in front of the next homeowner in the neighborhood. The numbers stay honest — but the leak stops.

Compliance, by default

Construction communication compliance is built into the install:

• TCPA consent — every contact opts in before automated SMS begins, and STOP triggers immediate suppression.
• A2P 10DLC — free 10DLC registration is included so your texts deliver instead of getting filtered.
• State contractor licensing — your license number and classification can be surfaced on outbound communication and your prebuilt website.
