Trades contractors · Langley, BC
AI automation for Langley trades contractors.
Langley contractors work across two very different kinds of property: rural acreages and farms on one side, dense new neighbourhoods like Willoughby on the other. Most of the trades companies here are owner-run, and a lot of them still depend on the owner for every estimate. We are based here too. We build systems that get the office running without waiting on the owner.
Acreage in the morning, townhouse in the afternoon.
A Langley contractor can quote an outbuilding or an acreage renovation before lunch and a townhouse unit in Willoughby after it. Those jobs price differently, schedule differently, and need different information up front. When the only reliable way to quote both is the owner's head, every estimate waits until the owner gets home.
The owner who never left the truck.
Many trades companies here grew from one person and a truck. The company now has crews and a small office, but the owner still estimates, schedules, and approves invoices, usually after dinner. Nothing is written down because the owner never needed it written down. That works until the owner wants a week off, or wants to grow past what one person can hold. The crews are ready for more work. The office is waiting on one person's evenings.
Write it down, then let the system run it.
We start by sitting with you and documenting how you actually price and schedule: what you ask on the first call, which jobs need a site visit, how you build a number. Then the system uses those rules. Leads arrive with the right questions already answered. Draft quotes come from your pricing for you to approve. Scheduling and invoicing run from the same job record, so the office no longer waits on you to move.
Common questions.
How much of my time does this take?
Most of it comes up front. Expect a few sessions with you while we document how you quote and schedule, because that knowledge is exactly what we are getting out of your head. After that, your time goes to reviewing drafts and approving the system before it goes live. We are in Langley, so those sessions can happen at your shop.
We serve rural properties and new subdivisions. Can one system quote both?
Yes, as long as the rules for each are written down. We separate the job types during the systematize step, so a rural call and a subdivision call each get the right questions and the right pricing template. A septic or well question on an acreage, for example, never gets asked on a Willoughby townhouse call, and it never gets forgotten on a rural one.
We are busy enough already. Why fix the office now?
Because busy is when the leaks are biggest. Slow quotes, late invoices, and leads nobody returned cost the most in a strong season. Fixing the office now is what lets you take the next contract without the owner working weekends to cover it.
What if it does not work?
The guarantee is simple: we add one full-time role of capacity within 90 days, or we keep working until we do.
