Frequently asked

ABS, answered.

The questions builders ask most before bringing an AI workforce on board.

What is an AI receptionist for builders?

An AI receptionist is a voice agent that answers your business phone 24/7, qualifies every caller, books appointments and routes urgent jobs to a human — just like a great front-desk person, but always on. ABS's receptionist, Emma, is built on ElevenLabs Conversational AI and answers in a natural voice, captures lead details, and logs a transcript and summary of every call so nothing is lost.

How much does a missed call actually cost a building business?

For most builders a single new-build or renovation lead is worth tens of thousands of dollars in contract value. If even one missed call a week turns into a lost quote, that's a six-figure leak over a year. An AI receptionist answers every call — including after hours, on site, and during the jobs you can't stop for — so leads stop slipping through to voicemail and competitors.

Can ABS reduce our estimating time?

Yes. Chisel, the ABS estimating agent, performs automated takeoff from drawings, generates itemised bills of quantities and produces client-ready quotes in hours rather than days. It lets a builder respond to more enquiries while leads are still warm, without hiring a full-time estimator.

Does ABS integrate with Xero?

Yes. Ledger, the ABS finance agent, connects directly to Xero to track invoices, flag overdue payments, monitor cashflow and reconcile payments automatically — keeping your accounts current without anyone opening a spreadsheet.

Can ABS generate SWMS and handle site sign-in?

Yes. Comply, the ABS health & safety agent, generates trade-specific Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) in minutes and runs a QR-code site sign-in and sign-out system, keeping a digital attendance record for every worker and showing who is on site at any time — all aligned to WHS regulations.

Do I have to deploy all five agents at once?

No. Every ABS agent runs independently, so you can start with the one that solves your sharpest pain — Emma for missed calls, Chisel for estimating, Ledger for finance, Watchdog for communications or Comply for safety — and add the others when you're ready.

Is ABS built for Australian builders specifically?

Yes. ABS is purpose-built for the Australian construction industry — from the way Emma speaks to callers to Xero finance integration, WHS-aligned SWMS and the realities of running residential, commercial and trade businesses in Australia.
