Construction Contractor: Drowning in the abyss of AI consumers
Hello! I’m new to the site, but I joined searching for answers to a lingering question. Are there any specific sites that I can register for to be able to contact prospective clients and send bids in my area? Facebook is flooded with people who consistently undercut me on price but are not as good on professionalism or product quality. Whether it be residential properties or commercial? I’ve recently downsized and have been stuck sub-contracting for a larger business devoting all of my time and making pennies on the dollar. The financial strain of the decision has been weighing on me heavily. My wife has lost faith in our construction business, but I can’t help but to reminisce about how successful we were when we were at full operation with 6-10 guys. I can’t just give up on the dream. Anyone on here able to show us how we can make this embed of hope into a wildfire? We specialize in all niche trades in the construction industry, yes all from form to finish. There’s no lack of drive and determination, just direction.How Do You Get More Commercial Cleaning Clients Without Paid Ads?
Hey everyone, I own a small cleaning company doing residential and commercial cleaning plus interior painting. I’m trying to grow the commercial side of my business and wanted to ask: What has worked best for you to get consistent commercial cleaning clients? Have you had better luck with: Facebook groups? Door-to-door networking? Property managers? Realtors? Google reviews/SEO? Cold calls or emails? Jobber campaigns? Referral programs? I’m trying to build long-term contracts and steady monthly income instead of always chasing one-time jobs. I’d appreciate any real advice from people already doing it successfully. Thanks in advance!
How to automatically send recurring invoices to cleaning clients on a monthly payment plan?
Some of my jobs are priced per month, which means the customer will pay the same amount each month. Currently, Jobber does not have the option, like other SaaS, such as Xero, that you can set an invoice to be generated automatically every month. This would be a great feature to reduce my monthly admin time.Will AI replace engineers in the construction industry?
What do you guys think about AI possibly replacing engineers in construction? Recently, I ran into a problem with my plans and couldn’t get the engineers on the phone quickly enough. Not to mention, the customer wasn’t too thrilled about the extra cost either. So I used AI, got the solution I needed, continued my work, and waited for the engineers to approve the new revised plan afterward. It honestly made me wonder if AI is going to become a real tool for engineers or eventually start replacing parts of the job altogether. Construction is changing fast. Humans built skyscrapers with pencils and cigarettes, and now we’ve got drywall guys arguing with robots at 7 a.m.
