Frequently Asked Questions
What types of construction calls can you handle?
We cover everything from new project inquiries and bid requests to change‐order submissions, vendor coordination, on‐site emergencies and service follow-ups. Our agents are trained to triage and transfer or log any call type according to your protocols.
Can you dispatch emergency calls directly to my on-call team?
Absolutely. You define your escalation chain and on-call roster during onboarding. Whenever an emergency call comes in, our agents will follow those exact steps—contacting the right person(s), documenting response times, and confirming when crews are en route.
Do you integrate with project management and CRM tools?
Yes. We offer out-of-the-box integrations with popular platforms like Buildertrend, Procore, Salesforce, and more. Each logged call can automatically create or update a ticket, lead or project task—so your team never misses critical details.
How quickly can I go live after signing up?
Most clients are fully onboarded within 24–48 hours. We’ll gather your call flows, escalation rules and branding guidelines, run integration tests, train our agents on your scripts, and then switch over your lines on your timeline.
Is there a long-term contract or hidden fees?
We believe in flexibility. Plans are month-to-month with no early-termination penalties or surprise charges. You can scale up during peak seasons or pause service if a project winds down.
Can callers request bilingual support?
Yes—we offer multilingual agent options. Let us know which languages you need (Spanish, French, etc.), and we’ll assign qualified, fluent agents to handle those calls seamlessly.
How do you handle after-hours and weekend coverage?
Coverage is truly 24/7/365. Whether it’s nights, weekends, or holidays, our U.S.-based agents follow the same quality standards and escalation procedures you’ve set for daytime operations.
Can I update call scripts and escalation rules later?
Absolutely. You can revise scripts, add new FAQs or change escalation contacts at any time via our client portal—changes take effect within 1 business hour.
What if I need to pause or cancel the service?
Simply let us know through your account manager or the portal. We can pause your line instantly and resume when you’re ready—no penalties or fees for brief suspensions.
How is call data secured and kept private?
We use enterprise-grade encryption, PCI/DSS-compliant phone systems, and strict NDA agreements for all agents. Your recordings and call logs are stored securely, and access is restricted to authorized personnel only.
