You can’t stop a pour to answer the phone
Concrete doesn’t wait. While you’re placing and finishing, the call goes to voicemail and the homeowner dials the next contractor.
For concrete contractors
Answer every concrete lead in seconds — even mid-pour.
Royalty AI Solutions sets up AI that replies to calls, texts, and quote requests the moment they come in, gets the square footage and finish, books the walkthrough, and follows up on every quote, so the driveway goes to you, not the next contractor on their list.

The problem
Every slow reply is a slab another contractor might pour
Homeowners often ask several concrete companies for a quote at once. Often, the job isn’t lost because of your work. It’s lost before the first conversation ever happens.
Quote requests pile up in peak season
Spring and summer bring a flood of driveway and patio requests. By the time you reply that evening, some have already booked someone else’s walkthrough.
Quotes go cold, past customers forget you
Estimates that never get a second follow-up. Customers you poured for years ago who never hear from you about sealing or their next project.

Automation for every step of a concrete job
From the first call to the reseal reminder two years later. We set it up, run it, and keep improving it, so you can stay on the job.
Instant response to every lead
Missed calls get a text back in seconds. Website and Facebook quote requests get an immediate, friendly reply, day or night.
Missed call, 2:40 PM
Assistant: Hi, this is the automated assistant for [Your Company]. Sorry we missed you, the crew is on a pour! What project are you planning?
Concrete intake + instant ballpark price
The assistant asks your questions (square footage, finish, tear-out, truck access, photos), then gives a ballpark range from your own per-square-foot pricing. Tire-kickers drop off before you drive out.
Customer: About 400 sq ft stamped patio
Assistant: Based on [Your Company]’s current pricing, stamped patios usually run $14–$18/sq ft, so roughly $5,600–$7,200. Your exact price comes after a free walkthrough. Want to book one?
Walkthrough booking + quote follow-up
Estimate walkthroughs go straight into your calendar with travel buffers and reminders. Every quote gets polite follow-ups until it’s signed or closed out.
Assistant: Hi Dana, just checking in on the driveway quote we sent Tuesday. Any questions I can pass along to the team?
Customer: Can we do exposed aggregate instead?
Pour-day texts
Customers get a confirmation when the pour is scheduled, prep instructions the day before (move vehicles, keep pets inside), and your care instructions afterward. Fewer “what’s happening?” calls for you.
Day before the pour
Assistant: Hi Dana! Your driveway pour is tomorrow, and the crew arrives between 7 and 8 AM. Please move vehicles off the driveway and keep pets inside. Questions? Just reply.
Reviews, sealing reminders, repeat work
Review and photo requests after every job. Sealing reminders for stamped and decorative work. Last season’s unsigned quotes get a spring check-in.
Assistant: Hi Mike, it’s been about two years since we poured your stamped patio. Want us to schedule a reseal before summer?
Customer: Yes please
Back-office automation
Calls and leads logged to your CRM or field software, ready-mix and crew reminders the day before, and a weekly report on leads, estimates, and jobs won.
Sample weekly report
Assistant: This week: 23 leads, average first reply 41 seconds, 9 walkthroughs booked, 6 quotes sent.
What it means for your business
- Win more of the leads you already get. Homeowners often ask several concrete companies for quotes. The first one to respond has the advantage.
- Stay on the pour. No more stopping work to return calls. The AI handles the first conversation and books the walkthrough.
- Fewer wasted estimate trips. Ballpark ranges and intake questions mean you show up to serious leads, already knowing the scope.
- You stay in control. You set the prices, rules, and messages, and approve them before launch. Any conversation can be handed to a person at any time.
Built for concrete
It asks the questions your estimator would ask
Generic answering services take a name and number. Your assistant is set up with your intake questions, your pricing, and your rules, so you walk up to every estimate already knowing the scope.
Questions it can ask
- What’s the project (driveway, patio, sidewalk, slab, foundation, steps, repair)?
- Approximate size or square footage
- Finish: broom, stamped, stained, or exposed aggregate?
- Is there old concrete, pavers, or asphalt to tear out?
- Can a ready-mix truck or pump reach the area?
- Slope, drainage, or tree-root issues?
- Address, plus whether it’s inside your service area
- When are you hoping to have it done, and can you share photos?
Urgent requests it can flag
- Sunken or heaving slab creating a trip hazard
- Foundation crack with water coming in
- Problem with a recent pour (cracking, damage, curing)
- Commercial bid with a deadline
- Existing customer calling about an active job
- Customer needs to change a scheduled pour date
Rules you control
- Your per-square-foot price ranges for ballpark quotes (or none at all)
- Minimum job size and service radius, with polite declines
- Walkthrough hours, travel buffers, and which estimator gets which area
- Which messages go out automatically, and which wait for your OK
Every question, price range, and rule is customized during setup. Ballpark ranges are always labeled as estimates. Your firm price comes after the walkthrough.

Common questions
Will customers know they’re talking to AI?
Yes. We recommend the assistant identifies itself as an automated assistant for your company. Being upfront builds trust, and some states have rules about automated communications.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
It works from the questions and rules you approve, and it hands the conversation to a person whenever it’s unsure or the situation is urgent. We review early conversations closely after launch.
Can I use it only after hours or when I miss a call?
Yes. Many owners still answer their own phone during the day and only want coverage for missed calls, nights, and weekends. You choose when it’s active.
Do I keep my business phone number?
In most setups, yes. We work with your existing number and only suggest changes if your phone system requires it. We’ll confirm this on the consultation call.
Will it give my customers prices?
Only if you want it to, and only the ballpark ranges you set (for example, per square foot for each finish). Every range is clearly labeled as an estimate, and your firm price always comes after the walkthrough.
What about jobs outside my area, too small, or not my specialty?
You set the rules. The assistant can politely decline out-of-area or below-minimum jobs, refer out work you don’t do (like asphalt), and send large or commercial bids straight to you.
Can it book estimate walkthroughs on my calendar?
Yes. It offers open times from your calendar and books the walkthrough, with buffer time for travel. You decide which days and hours are available.
Does it work with Jobber, QuoteIQ, Buildertrend, or my other software?
Many common contractor tools can be connected, but it depends on what each tool allows. We’ll check yours during the consultation before you commit to anything.
Do I have to switch software?
Usually not. We start with what you already use and tell you during the consultation if anything would need to change.
How long does setup take?
Live within 7 days of your kickoff call for calls, web inquiries, and follow-up. US carriers require registration for business text messaging, and their approval can sometimes take longer. If so, we launch everything else first and turn on texting as soon as it’s approved.
Is there a contract?
There’s a 60-day minimum, then month-to-month. After that, you can cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice.
What is the free after-hours lead audit?
With your permission, we contact your business after hours the way a homeowner would, by phone, text, and web form. Then we send you a short report on what happened and what could be improved. It’s free, with no obligation.
What about text-message rules?
Business texting in the US requires customer consent and carrier registration. We help set this up correctly as part of onboarding.
