How our construction answering services work
Set up quickly
Share details about your business, how you’d like your phone answered, which staff should receive messages and/or call transfers.
Caller contacts you
Divert your business number to the number we provide and our receptionists will know when a call is for your business before they answer.
Our receptionist answers
After answering in your business name, using your chosen greeting, the remote receptionist can take messages, transfer calls, enter data into your CRM, answer questions and more depending on your plan.
You receive messages
Immediately after each call, a message is sent to you with details captured. You can choose just to receive the caller’s name, number and what they called about, or more.
