Astrove for construction.
Quote requests 24/7. References in the conversation. Accounting connected.
Construction customers are in an early planning phase and ask a lot of questions before they are ready for a quote. Astrove’s AI chatbot qualifies projects 24/7, shows relevant references based on project type, and routes structured quote requests straight to a project manager. It builds trust early and frees project managers up for real customer meetings — not first replies over email.

How Astrove fits construction.
The contracting business has a distinct sales rhythm. Potential customers arrive in an early planning phase — dreaming of a new home, an extension, a renovation or a major refurbishment — but they are not ready for a quote until they have compared alternatives and understood what is realistic. In that research phase they ask a lot of questions: how long does the project take, what is a typical price range for what we have in mind, do you have capacity this year, which areas do you cover, can you handle the planning permission, do you have references from similar projects.
Traditionally all of this goes through a contact form or the phone, often with a 1–3 day response time. That is where contractors lose customers — because a competitor answered faster. Astrove’s AI chatbot handles this research phase 24/7 with source references to your own project portfolio, process descriptions, planning-permission guidance and capacity information.
For quote requests, the bot runs a structured qualification flow: project type (new build, extension, renovation, refurbishment, holiday home), square metres, budget range, desired start date, location, existing drawings or planning-permission status, special requirements (passive house, energy rating, material choices). The qualified quote request routes straight to a project manager — structured and clear, not a wall of loose text.
Reference handling is especially valuable. We index your portfolio (project type, place, size, year of completion, photos, customer quotes if you have them). The bot automatically shows relevant references based on the customer’s project type and location — a new-build customer sees new-build references in the same price class and region, an extension customer sees extension references from similar homes. That builds trust before the first conversation. For projects that move to contract, project creation is linked to your accounting system so invoicing and bookkeeping stay in sync without double entry. Implementation takes 1–2 weeks for a standard setup.
FAQ. 04
What problem does this solve for contractors?+
Potential customers are often in an early planning phase: a new home, an extension, renovation, refurbishment. They ask a lot of questions before they are ready for a quote — how long does the project take, what is a typical price range, do you have capacity this year, which areas do you cover, what reference projects do you have, what about planning permission. A chatbot can handle this around the clock and qualify customers before they book a project call.
Can the chatbot qualify quote requests?+
Yes. The bot gathers the key facts through conversation: project type (new build, extension, renovation, refurbishment), square metres, budget range, desired start, location, existing drawings or planning-permission status. The structured quote request routes straight to a project manager with a cleanly formatted summary.
What about reference projects?+
We index your reference portfolio (project type, place, size, year of completion, photos). The bot shows relevant references based on the customer’s project: a new-build customer sees new-build references in the same area and size class, an extension customer sees extension references. It builds trust early.
What about capacity and start dates?+
If you keep a transparent project calendar, the bot can show when your next opening is. For more flexible answers, the bot communicates typical waiting-time ranges and manages the customer’s expectations. Concrete capacity questions are escalated to a project manager.
Accounting integration?+
Yes. When a project moves from quote to contract, the bot can initiate project creation in your accounting system and link the customer data automatically. Invoicing and bookkeeping stay in sync without double entry.
What does it cost for a contractor?+
The chatbot module is €0/month — you pay only for the AI usage that actually happens, typically a few cents per customer conversation, on prepaid credit. You get a free welcome credit — enough for around 100 conversations. Standard setup via Google Tag Manager is free. If you need special integrations (accounting system, a custom CRM, permit-management tools), we quote a fixed price up front — a firm number, not a “starting from” number.
