A sample for builders & remodelers owners

Bids stop going quiet, and clients stop calling for updates

I built this example for builders and remodelers in North Iowa. Every name, job and address on it is made up, and nothing here is live.

  • Project requests arrive with photos, budget and timeline
  • Quiet bids get followed up without you remembering
  • Clients know where the job stands without calling

A few quick questions so we can come out prepared. It takes about two minutes.

Bids waiting on an answer

Each quote that goes quiet gets a polite follow-up on schedule until someone answers. Nobody has to remember.

Every bid that went out and hasn't been signed yet, with the next polite follow-up already lined up.

The texts it sends

Schedule

  1. Hi Jenna, this is an automatic text from Example Builders. Your bid is in your inbox, and you can also view it here: [link]. Questions are welcome anytime. Reply STOP to opt out.
  2. Hi Jenna, just checking that the bid came through okay and opened fine. If anything looks unclear or you'd like a change in scope priced out, just reply here.
  3. Hi Jenna, any questions on the bid we can help with? If you'd like to look at start dates, reply YES and we'll call.
  4. Hi Jenna, it's been a few weeks since we sent your bid. No pressure at all. If the project is still on, reply YES and we'll check the schedule, or let us know if plans changed.

Weekly project updates

Customers get a text at each step, so the "is it ready yet?" calls stop. Each update is one tap for your team.

Today this usually comes with: Podium Core · $399/mo compare

The money part

What a building and remodeling business often pays every month, and what it could keep

These are the tools builders & remodelers owners most often pay a monthly bill for, at their published or reported prices. Tick the ones you pay for, pick your plan, or type your real bill. The math is yours to check.

What Praxis builds instead: review-request texts after each job, two-way texting from your own number and missed-call text-back.

Who builds it

One person you can call

I'm Chris, and I run Praxis AI Solutions out of Mason City, Iowa. When something needs changing, you call or text me, not a support line. In the real version, new project requests land in one place with photos and the address attached. Quiet bids get a polite nudge on schedule, and clients get a short text when demo is done, cabinets are in, or the walk-through is set. You approve every message and every step before anything goes live.
