It sends you a clean summary so nothing gets lost between jobs. It works through your existing number, no new line, no new app for callers to figure out.

A REAL CALL

A homeowner calls about a kitchen remodel after seeing your sign at a nearby job, hoping to book a walkthrough.

Caller: Hi, I saw your sign down the street, I'm hoping to get a walkthrough for a kitchen remodel. CallerIQ: Happy to help with that. Can I get the project address and a good callback number? Caller: It's on Maple Street, and my number is on file. CallerIQ: Got it. Do you want to talk budget on this call, or save that for the walkthrough? Caller: Let's save it for the walkthrough. CallerIQ: Understood. I'll pass this along and someone will call you back to schedule.

You get a summary with her address, the scope of work, a note that budget talk is saved for the walkthrough, and her callback number, ready before you're off the ladder.

Why general contractors miss calls

You're mid-pour, not by the phone

Concrete doesn't wait for a phone call. When your hands are full on site, calls go to voicemail, and voicemail is the last thing most people check on the same day.

Evening progress calls pile up

Clients call after dinner wanting an update on the day's work. If nobody picks up, they're left guessing overnight, and that's the kind of thing that erodes trust on a long project.

Subs and suppliers need answers now

A sub calling to confirm tomorrow's start time or a supplier calling about a delivery window is a small call that becomes a big problem if it sits unanswered while you're in a meeting.

A missed change-order call stalls the job

Permit questions and change-order discussions are time sensitive. Miss the call, and the decision waits, and so does the crew.

How it works

Three steps, one dial code.

01

Forward your missed calls

One dial code sets up conditional call forwarding with your carrier. Your number stays your number; only the calls you don’t answer route to CallerIQ.

02

CallerIQ answers

It greets the caller in the voice and greeting you chose, finds out who they are and what they need, and captures the details, using only the business information you gave it.

03

You get the summary

Who called, why, and what to do next, in a clean report you can read in seconds. Real callers get through; spam doesn’t.

What your callers hearA caller hears a clear greeting, right away, that says they've reached your business and that they're talking to an AI receptionist. CallerIQ asks who they are and what they need, whether that's a walkthrough request, a schedule question, or a message for you. It doesn't pretend to be a person, it's patient, it doesn't rush anyone off the line, and it makes sure the right details get written down before the call ends.
And the spam?General contractors get hit with a steady stream of calls that aren't clients at all: material suppliers pitching new accounts, lead-gen platforms selling leads, and labor recruiters fishing for openings. CallerIQ turns those away and can happily waste their time instead of yours. Calls from contacts you already know still ring straight through.
Questions

What general contractors ask us

Do I need a new phone number for this?+
No. CallerIQ is set up through carrier call forwarding on the number you already use. There's no new number for clients to learn and no new hardware to install.
What happens when a client I know calls?+
Contacts you've flagged still ring straight through to you. CallerIQ only picks up the calls you'd otherwise miss.
Can I turn it off when I'm free to take calls myself?+
Yes. One dial code turns call forwarding off, and your phone rings the way it always did.
What if the caller is a supplier or recruiter, not a client?+
CallerIQ is built to spot that kind of call, turn it away, and keep it off your plate, while still logging that it happened.
Does it know details about my business, like scope or scheduling?+
Only what you give it. You set the greeting, the voice, and the business details it can use, so it stays accurate to how you actually run jobs.
