For General contractors · 13 of 32
AI prompts for General contractors, by the job.
A build has more moving parts than any one person can hold, and half of them are messages: scopes, change orders, subcontractor briefs, and the client who wants a date. These prompts write the paper trail. They do not price a job, sequence a build or sign off a trade.

The kit for this job
From enquiry to booked job
A new enquiry comes in and you need a written quote that doesn't strand you on price.
What you get: A 3-part reply that names the two likely causes, asks for a photo and the tap type, and books a 20-minute visit instead of quoting blind.
What to check: Are the price ranges ones you actually charge? Does the reply leave room for a bigger job? Is the visit window one you can keep?
