Bee-Kraft is an AI phone answering service for general contractors in Kansas City and the Midwest. When a homeowner or developer calls about a project, the BEE answers immediately — day or night — asks about the project type, scope, timeline, and zip code, and books the estimate directly into your calendar. You stay on site. The BEE handles the office.
Built by a craftsman in Parkville, MO. Deployed for contracting crews across the Kansas City metro.
The Problem
You're managing a crew on a job. A developer calls about a $200K addition. You miss it. By the time you call back, they've already signed with someone else.
You drive an hour to look at a project that's out of your scope, wrong zip code, or wrong budget. The BEE would have screened that out in 60 seconds.
You finish a flawless build and the client means to leave a review but never does. The BEE sends the follow-up automatically and turns the job into a 5-star Google rating.

The BEE answers within seconds via AI voice or SMS. No voicemail. No hold music. Immediate, professional engagement — 24/7.
The BEE asks about project type, scope, timeline, budget range, and zip code. Only qualified leads that match your crew's expertise move forward.
The BEE checks your calendar and offers available slots. The lead books themselves. You get a notification with all project details — no phone tag required.

FAQ
An AI answering service for general contractors is a system that answers every inbound call or text from a potential client, asks qualifying questions about the project type, scope, timeline, and location, and books estimate appointments directly into the contractor's calendar — without the contractor ever having to stop what they're doing on site.
The BEE engages every new lead within 60 seconds via SMS or web chat. It asks about the project type (new build, remodel, addition, repair), scope, budget range, zip code, and timeline. Only leads that match the contractor's service area and current capacity are passed through to the calendar.
