When a plumbing business asks us about AI receptionist, the first question we put back is the same one every time: which part of your week, if it disappeared, would change how you feel on a Friday? We start the build from that answer.

Field notes
What years of building for plumbing businesses taught us.
- Plumbers lose jobs to whoever answers the phone first, and most calls come in while they're already under a sink.
- Missed calls, slow quotes, and unchased invoices are the three leaks that cost plumbing businesses the most money.
How we build AI receptionist for plumbing businesses.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a plumbing business business, so value lands before the build is finished. 24/7 AI front desk.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI receptionist take to ship for plumbing businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real plumbing businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Do you have proof this works for plumbing businesses?
Direct case study: Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI receptionist into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Vapi sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
