AI-powered intake, estimating, and dispatch
You're a master of the earth. You shouldn't also have to be a dispatcher, estimator, and collections department.
Missed While Excavating
A homeowner called about a bowing basement wall while you were digging out a foundation. They left a voicemail. By the time you called back at 5 PM, they'd already signed with the competitor who answered on the first ring. That's a $6,000 piering job — gone.
Estimates Collecting Dust
You sent 10 estimates for interior drain tile systems last month. Five never got a follow-up because your office manager was buried in scheduling. Three of those homeowners went with someone who followed up the next day. That's $18,000 in lost revenue from inaction.
Evenings Buried in Paperwork
You finished a full-day waterproofing job at 6 PM. Instead of going home, you're at the kitchen table writing up soil reports, updating warranty records, and chasing permit status. Your family sees the back of your laptop more than your face.
Compliance Gaps Cost Real Money
A warranty claim comes in for a job you did 18 months ago. You can't find the soil report, the inspection notes are in a text thread, and the permit was filed but never tracked. Now you're eating the cost of a re-do because you can't prove the original work was done right.
Agent Spotlight
See your agents in action.
Your entire foundation operation in one view.
See active clients, pending inspections, active projects, outstanding estimates, warranty status, and pipeline value at a glance. The Command Center aggregates every metric that matters — from inspection backlog to estimate conversion rate — so you make decisions from data, not gut feel.
From site visit to structured report in minutes.
Every foundation inspection gets a complete record — client, site, type (structural, waterproofing, pre-purchase), severity rating, and detailed findings. No more scribbled notes on clipboards. Techs document everything on-site, and the data flows directly into project estimates and warranty records.
Every piering, drain tile, and encapsulation job — tracked from start to close.
Each project shows client, site, type, status, start date, estimated cost, and current phase. Filter by active, completed, or on-hold to see exactly where every job stands. No more asking the crew 'where are we on the Johnson job?' — the answer is always one click away.
Multi-option estimates that close faster.
Build itemized estimates from your price book — foundation piers, drain tile, sump pumps, vapor barriers, egress windows. Each estimate shows line items, subtotal, status, and validity period. Send Good/Better/Best options so the homeowner picks the scope that fits their budget.
Every warranty documented. Every claim defensible.
Track warranty type (workmanship, product, structural), coverage period, terms, and status for every completed project. When a homeowner calls about a crack 18 months later, you pull the warranty record in seconds — not hours of digging through filing cabinets.
Never miss a permit deadline again.
Track every building permit by project, type, status, submission date, and expiration. The system flags permits approaching expiration and tracks approval status so you never start work without proper authorization — and never let a permit lapse mid-project.
Your AI Team
6 agents. Built for foundation specialists.
Front Desk Agent
Answers every inquiry 24/7 — calls, texts, and website chats. Classifies jobs by type and severity, auto-books routine inspections, and escalates emergency calls (active flooding, bowing walls) with priority notifications.
Estimating Agent
Builds itemized estimates from your price book — foundation piers, drain tile, sump pumps, vapor barriers, egress windows. Accepts voice memos from the field, transcribes them, and generates structured multi-option proposals in minutes.
Dispatch Brain
Builds your daily route in order, factoring in job duration, drive time, equipment needs, and crew certifications. Optimizes for geography so your team isn't zigzagging across the county.
Collections Agent
Auto-generates the invoice the moment a job is marked complete. Sends via email and text with a payment link. Follows up at configurable intervals and escalates overdue accounts — so you get paid without the awkward phone calls.
Reputation Agent
Sends a review request 2 hours after payment is received — when satisfaction is highest. Monitors your Google and Yelp profiles, alerts you to negative reviews, and helps you respond professionally.
Marketing Agent
Watches your calendar for slow weeks 10 days out and launches targeted campaigns — seasonal waterproofing promotions, spring inspection specials, crawl space encapsulation offers — to fill the gaps before they become revenue holes.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can the Front Desk Agent tell a minor crack from a major foundation issue?
Yes. It uses your configured service taxonomy to classify jobs by type and severity. Routine crack repairs get auto-booked; bowing walls and active water intrusion trigger priority escalation with immediate notification to you.
Can the Estimating Agent handle voice memos from job sites?
Yes. Record a voice note describing the scope — 'Johnson residence, 120 linear feet of interior drain tile, two sump pits, vapor barrier on the walls' — and the agent transcribes it and builds a structured estimate from your price book automatically.
How does emergency handling work for flooding or bowing walls?
The agent detects urgent keywords in any channel (call, text, chat) and immediately sends you a priority notification with the customer's details, photos if available, and suggested response — regardless of time of day.
Does Sterling track permits for foundation work?
Yes. The Permit Tracker logs every permit by project, type, submission date, and expiration. You can flag service types that require permits (underpinning, egress windows) and the system includes permit fees in estimates and tracks approval status.
How does the Warranty Tracker protect me from claims?
Every completed project gets a warranty record with type, coverage period, terms, and status. When a homeowner calls about an issue 18 months later, you pull the full record — inspection notes, soil report, permit, and warranty terms — in seconds.
Can I set different autonomy levels per agent?
Yes. Each agent has configurable autonomy — from 'auto-approve everything' to 'ask me before every action.' Most owners start with auto-booking for routine inspections and approval-required for estimates over a certain dollar amount.
Does Sterling track soil reports?
Yes. The Soil Reports module logs soil type, bearing capacity, moisture content, and recommendations for every site. This data feeds directly into project planning and estimate accuracy.
Can my field crews use it on their phones?
Yes. Crews get a mobile-first view: daily schedule, job details, photo upload, inspection forms, and mark-complete. Works as a PWA — no app store install required.
How is this different from general contractor software?
General CRMs organize your data. Sterling does the work — answering calls, building estimates, chasing payments, requesting reviews, and managing compliance. It's purpose-built for foundation and waterproofing shops, not adapted from a generic template.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 14-day free trial with full access to all 8 modules and 6 AI agents. No credit card required. Most contractors are live within 30 minutes of signing up.
Your next foundation repair lead is calling right now.
Sterling answers it, qualifies it, books the inspection, builds the estimate, tracks the permit, and collects the payment. You just do the work you're great at.
