AI E-mail for Construction. An AI email responder for contractors, approved desk by desk

AI E-mail is an AI email responder for contractors: Lisa reads every message sent to your estimating, office and warranty addresses, finds the contact and drafts the answer from your knowledge. You choose per desk whether she sends alone or a person approves, and a request for proposal opens straight in the Proposal Studio.

AI email responder for contractors: Lisa proposes a desk and a draft on each e-mail, real Zanus AI screen

Lisa's proposal

On each e-mail Lisa says what she would do, keep it for the date it names or pass it to a desk with a draft, and a person agrees or not.

Easy setupSet up everything just by talking to Lisa AISee how ›

You“Lisa may answer the office desk alone; estimating waits for a person.”

Lisa“The office desk moves to Lisa answers and sends; estimating stays on Lisa writes and a person approves. Apply?”

You talk. Lisa sets it up. Applied only on your yes.

How Construction use it

1

A GC's bid invitation lands on Friday at 4:55; Lisa files it on the estimating desk with a draft acknowledgement waiting for approval.

2

A homeowner writes in Spanish about a sticking door; Lisa reads it to the warranty desk in English and drafts the reply in Spanish.

3

An owner asks to cancel the cabinet order, and the thread goes to a person, because the AI never cancels an order alone.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button.

What’s included

  • Your own sending domain, set up and warmed for you; replies land in Front Office, not in a personal inbox
  • Drafts and answers from your approved knowledge, in the customer's language; approve each one or let it send under rules you set
  • Take over any thread and send from your own address; connect your Google or Microsoft mailbox for personal mail
  • Every thread on the customer's record; a reply stops any running follow-up and alerts the owner
  • Templates written from your knowledge; deliverability report, bounces, complaints, engagement
  • Attachments, quotes and confirmations sent from the same place; nothing typed twice

The desks

Shared inbox for contractors, one desk per department

Estimating, office, warranty

Each address lands on its own desk with its color and its count, so a bid invitation never sits behind a supplier's monthly statement.

A draft already written

For most routine mail the answer waits under Ready to send, written from your knowledge in the sender's language, for a person to read and send.

Needs you

The few threads that need a decision, an owner's dispute or a request to cancel an order, gather in one list with Lisa's suggestion beside each.

Proposal requests routed

A request for proposal opens a case in the Proposal Studio with its thread and attachments, and a purchase order opens one on Orders and quotes.

Set-up

Connect your estimating and office inboxes in 2 minutes

1

Add your addresses

Add the bids, office and warranty addresses and the desk each one lands on. Your mailbox keeps its history, and only new mail comes in.

2

Bring your own mailbox

Each estimator connects his mailbox or forwards a copy, and Lisa walks him through the steps and runs the test with him.

3

Choose who answers

Tell Lisa the desks she may answer alone and the ones that wait for a person. Each change is shown before and after and applied on your yes.

4

Read a week of drafts

Run it for 7 days free with no credit card and read every answer Lisa prepared, sent or held before you decide.

Questions & answers

AI E-mail for Construction: questions & answers

Can AI answer a contractor's office e-mail?

Yes, desk by desk. Lisa reads each message, attaches it to its contact and drafts the answer from your knowledge. By default a person approves each draft; you can let her send alone on the desks you trust, such as general office questions.

Does anything go out without our approval?

Only where you allow it. Each department is set to Lisa answers and sends, Lisa writes and a person approves, or a person writes. Cancelling an order or changing an address is never done by the AI, whatever the setting.

What happens to a request for proposal that arrives by e-mail?

It opens a case in the Proposal Studio with the thread and the attachments, and the mail stays on the desk with a chip. The proposal later answers in the same thread, after a manager approves it.

Can construction email management let the estimators and the office share one inbox?

Yes. Every address lands on a desk, managers assign a thread to a colleague, and an estimator who takes over a thread stops Lisa writing on it. Overdue shows the mail left past your response time.

Do replies from the AI email assistant for builders go out from our own address?

Yes. Mail sent from here goes out as your own address and lands in its Sent folder, with the person's signature and your company footer under it.

Can it draft bid invitation email replies for the estimating desk?

Yes. A GC's invitation to bid lands on the estimating desk with a summary on top, and Lisa drafts the acknowledgement from your knowledge. Where that desk is kept on approval, the reply waits for a person in Ready to send before anything leaves.
