✦ AI FOR CONTRACTORS & TRADES

AI for contractors & trades —
installed, not lectured.

Golden Maple Group installs working AI agents — answering calls, chasing leads, turning site notes into same-day quotes, keeping the books — inside small contracting and trades businesses in 14 to 30 days, using the tools you already run. Built and run by an operator who runs a landscaping company on this exact stack first.

WHO THIS IS FOR

The small shop the $20K installers ignore.

If you’re a plumber, electrician, HVAC, roofer, landscaper, or GC doing under about $5M and running on your phone, Gmail, QuickBooks, and a CRM like Jobber or Housecall Pro — this is built for you. You don’t need a $20,000 install layer bolted onto Procore. You need one agent answering the calls you’re missing, live by day 14.

Running $5M+ on Procore or CMiC with RFI and submittal workflows? That’s a different job — an enterprise install-layer firm fits you better, and I’ll say so on the call. I stay in my lane on purpose.

WHAT IT DOES

Six jobs, in trade terms.

Lead Responder / Speed-to-Lead

Problem: Calls go to voicemail on the job; the lead picks the next contractor

Every inquiry answered in minutes, in your voice — drafted, you approve, it sends

Quote assistant

Problem: Quotes take days; the lead goes cold

Site-visit notes turn into a sendable estimate the same day

Follow-up engine

Problem: Follow-ups slip; quiet quotes die

Sequenced follow-ups until they book or say no — nothing goes quiet

The Bookkeeper

Problem: Receipts in the truck, invoices unchased

Files receipts, categorizes expenses, chases unpaid invoices

The Daily Brief

Problem: No idea what needs you today

A short morning rundown of what needs you

Custom agent

Problem: A repeatable task eats hours every week

Built for your specific bottleneck, scoped up front

THE TOOLS IT WORKS IN

Your tools. No lock-in.

It works inside the tools you already own — your phone, Gmail, Google Calendar, QuickBooks, and Jobber/Housecall-class CRMs. You sign in once, in front of me, in a normal browser window. I never store your passwords, and nothing is proxied through my servers. I’m not reselling someone else’s platform — if you leave, you keep everything.

HOW THE OPTIONS COMPARE

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN ANY AI CONSULTANT

The right rubric — and how I meet it.

Pilot first — not a big-bang overhaul

Speed-to-Lead Install: one agent, live in 14 days, $2,500. Credits toward the full install.

Mobile-first — your crew won’t log into a laptop dashboard

You approve everything from your phone.

“AI flags, human decides”

The approval gate + local proof log is the product. A hallucinated number never goes out on its own.

They know the trade

I run a landscaping company. I build like an owner, not a technologist.

PROOF, NOT PROMISES

Carr Landscape Depot, Barrie.

I set the owner up and, in one four-hour session, he built his own delivery-tracking system that texts customers when a driver’s dispatched — no developer, no subscription. My own company runs a 135+-test CRM that answers the phone 24/7. Receipts, not vibes.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED STRAIGHT

Contractor FAQ

I’m a one-person contracting shop — is AI overkill?

No — that’s exactly who the Speed-to-Lead Install is for. One agent answering the calls you miss on the job pays for itself quickly. It’s live in 14 days for $2,500.

Do you work with Procore or Buildertrend?

For small owner-operators I work inside the tools you already own — your phone, Gmail, QuickBooks, and Jobber-class CRMs — not enterprise PM suites. If you’re a $5M+ firm on Procore, an enterprise install-layer specialist is a better fit and I’ll say so.

Will AI make me sound like a robot to my customers?

Everything is drafted in your voice and nothing sends without your approval. You are the final read on every message that leaves.

Do you certify me in Claude, or is this Anthropic?

No. Golden Maple Group is a member of the Anthropic Claude Partner Network; the certification is issued by Anthropic and taken directly with them. We are not otherwise affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic beyond that membership.
