AI scheduling for contractors and site visits
AI scheduling for general contractors books site walks with prospects, coordinates subs around each other, tracks inspections and deliveries, and warns when a delay on one trade pushes the next. It drafts the messages. The project manager makes the final call, because a schedule is a set of judgment calls.

Trades depend on each other
Drywall cannot start until electrical passes inspection. Cabinets cannot arrive before the floors are done. A schedule that knows these dependencies can show what a one-day slip really moves.
Some dependencies are legal, such as inspections that must pass before the next phase. Others are practical, like curing time. Both belong in the schedule.
Messages when something shifts
When a delivery slips, the affected sub, the client and the PM all need to know. AI drafts each message from the schedule. You check and send.
Site walks for new prospects
Prospects book a walk through a link with a few questions first. You show up knowing the scope, and they show up knowing what to expect.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like in a general contractor. Illustrations, not clients.
The city inspector moves the rough-in inspection to Thursday. The drywall crew and the client both get a revised plan within minutes.
A prospect books a Saturday walk-through and answers questions about permits and timeline, so you arrive prepared.
A client needs to choose countertops by Friday to keep the install date. A reminder goes out Monday and again Wednesday.

Questions
Does it replace scheduling software I already use?
It can work next to it or be built to fit your process. That depends on what you have.
What about permit timelines?
It can track the dates you enter. Timelines depend on your city, and only you know the local reality.
Can it handle several jobs at once?
Yes. The hard part is shared crews, and a schedule that sees every job can show conflicts early.
