Text your crew in English. They read it in Spanish.

Type the way you always do. Your Spanish-speaking crews, subs and customers get it in Spanish, and when they text back in Spanish, you read it in English. One company number, one thread, no app for them to download.

  • Works with any phone that gets texts
  • Set English or Spanish for each crew, sub and customer
  • Tap any message to see exactly what they wrote
  • Every translated text says it was machine translated, so nobody is misled
Needs the business texting add-on. Machine translation can make mistakes, so double check anything important like dates, prices and addresses.

Questions

Who is Construction in a Box for?

Roofing, siding, gutter, remodeling and other home improvement contractors who run a sales team and subcontractors, from one person to many crews.

Can my sales reps see my costs and margins?

No. Reps see their own leads, customer prices and their own commission. Costs, crew pay and company money are kept from them by the database, not just hidden on the screen.

Does Construction in a Box store credit card or bank numbers?

No. Customers pay through Stripe, and the money goes to the contractor's own Stripe account. Card and bank details are handled by Stripe and never stored by Construction in a Box.

Where does the hail map data come from?

From the NOAA Storm Prediction Center's public storm reports, pulled every two hours. NOAA labels these reports preliminary.

Is it legal to record a sales visit?

Rules differ by state. Some states require everyone in the conversation to agree. Construction in a Box asks the rep to get the homeowner's yes before every recording, in every state, and no audio is saved.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no contract. The owner taps Cancel my plan in Settings. No phone call and no fee. Everything keeps working until the end of the month you paid for, and you can download all your data before and after.

Do I need a separate website, photo app or e-sign tool?

No. Construction in a Box includes a one-page website with your lead form, job photos, signatures for contracts and change orders, a page for each homeowner, review requests and online payments.

Does AI send messages to my customers?

No. AI drafts write-ups and messages. A person on your team reads every message and taps Send.
