Challenges General Contractings Face Daily
Understanding the unique pressures of general contracting businesses helps us deliver better solutions.
Cannot Answer Calls While Managing Job Sites
When you're coordinating subcontractors, meeting with inspectors, or solving on-site problems, taking phone calls disrupts your focus and project management effectiveness.
General contractors lose 40% of new project inquiries to voicemail. With average projects worth $50,000-200,000+, each missed lead represents substantial lost revenue.
Complex Project Qualification
Every construction project requires understanding scope, timeline, budget, permits, and client expectations. Generic intake doesn't capture the complexity needed for accurate proposals.
Incomplete project information leads to wasted site visits for projects that don't match your capabilities, misaligned proposals, or losing qualified leads to faster-responding competitors.
Subcontractor and Supplier Coordination
Running a GC business means constant calls from subcontractors, suppliers, and inspectors. These calls mix with new client inquiries, making prioritization impossible.
Missing a supplier call about material availability can delay a project. Missing a new client inquiry loses the job entirely. Existing systems can't distinguish importance.
Multi-Phase Project Updates
Existing clients call for project updates, change requests, and scheduling questions. These calls compete with new business development.
Spending hours on existing client calls means new leads go to voicemail. Ignoring existing clients damages relationships and referrals.

Real Results from Real General Contractings
Northstar Construction Group
The Challenge
Owner David Morrison was missing high-value project inquiries while managing active job sites. With projects ranging from $100K-500K, losing even one lead per month to voicemail represented significant lost revenue. His site superintendent couldn't handle sales calls, and returning calls hours later meant competitors had already quoted the project.
The Solution
Implemented Dialbox with specialized intake for custom home builds, renovation projects, and commercial work. AI qualifies projects based on scope and budget, coordinates with his scheduling software, and routes urgent site issues differently from new inquiries.
Results
"I was losing $500K projects to voicemail while dealing with $500 problems on job sites. Dialbox captures every lead professionally while I manage my projects. My pipeline has never been stronger."
— David Morrison, President
