How can AI help in trades and construction?

The Short Answer

In the trades, AI helps where office work piles up in the evenings: preparing quotes, taking calls while everyone is on the construction site, keeping the construction diary with photos, writing invoices, and reminding about open payments. Calculation, prices, and the work on site remain with the professional.

From Photo to Quote

A customer sends photos of the bathroom or heating system. AI can prepare a draft quote with line items, which the master craftsman reviews, adjusts, and approves. Specifications according to standards and construction billing can also be supported.

Connecting Site and Office

What happens on the construction site gets to the office directly:

  • Construction diary on mobile with photos, weather, and working hours.
  • Calls are answered while the team is working, including emergency services.
  • Maintenance contracts and inspection deadlines are reminded.
  • From the accepted quote to the order and invoice.

Get Paid Faster

Open invoices are monitored, reminders and dunning notices are generated according to fixed deadlines. Special tax rules may apply to construction services, such as reverse charge. Classification should be coordinated with tax advisors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI create a quote from photos?

It can prepare a draft with line items. The master craftsman should always review and approve it, as photos don't show everything.

Is the construction diary also available on mobile?

Yes. In the AIRIS app, it is maintained with photos and appears in the office immediately.

What happens to calls when everyone is on the construction site?

An AI telephone assistant answers them, captures the request, and forwards it to the team. Urgent matters can be marked as emergency services.
