Now live — the first AI back office for modular & prefab builders

While you're on the factory floor, your agents are closing the next project.

Sterling Modular gives prefab and modular construction companies a 24/7 AI team — front desk, estimator, project coordinator, and collections — that fields inquiries, generates detailed bids, and manages client communication so you can focus on production.

Project delays caused by poor client communication

You're a master builder, not a sales team and project manager.

Losing leads to faster GCs

A developer inquired about a 20-unit modular apartment complex. By the time you prepared the initial bid, they had already signed with a traditional builder who responded in hours, not days.

Bids are a bottleneck

You spend nights and weekends translating architectural plans into detailed cost estimates. Each bid takes hours, and you're only winning one out of every five.

Change orders creating chaos

A client requested a different window spec mid-production. The email got lost, the change wasn't documented properly, and now the wrong units are installed, causing delays and rework.

Your factory is silent on Google

The prefab builder in the next state has 150+ positive reviews and project photos. You have 12. When architects and developers search for partners, they aren't finding you.

AGENT SPOTLIGHT

See your agents in action.

Front Desk Agent

Never miss a high-value developer inquiry again.

A developer fills out your website form at 9 PM on a Tuesday, attaching initial plans for a 50-unit townhouse project. The agent qualifies the lead based on your criteria, pulls key data from the plans, and schedules a discovery call for the next morning — all before you've had your first coffee.

Quoting Agent

From plans to full bid in minutes, not days.

You upload a client's architectural drawings for a custom single-family home. The agent analyzes the plans, cross-references your modular component library and material costs, calculates labor and transport, and generates a complete, multi-page bid document for your review. You just tap to approve and send.

Dispatch Brain

Coordinate factory, transport, and on-site crews seamlessly.

A project is ready for shipment. The agent (as a Project Coordinator) schedules the transport, confirms the on-site crane and assembly crew, and sends automated delivery notifications to the client and GC. It's logistics on autopilot.

YOUR AI TEAM

6 agents. Built for modular builders.

Front Desk Agent

Answers every inquiry 24/7. Qualifies leads from developers, architects, and individual buyers. Understands the difference between a simple ADU and a complex multi-family project. Schedules site visits and initial consultations based on your team's availability.

Quoting Agent

Builds detailed, multi-page proposals from architectural plans or even a simple voice memo. Pulls from your library of modules, materials, and finishes. Calculates costs for production, transport, and on-site assembly. Follows up on all open bids until you get a firm yes or no.

Dispatch Brain

Acts as your AI Project Coordinator. Manages the entire project lifecycle from contract to delivery. Creates production schedules, coordinates with transport and logistics partners, and ensures the on-site assembly crew has all necessary documentation. Keeps the client updated at every milestone.

Collections Agent

Automates progress payments and final invoicing. Sends invoices based on project milestones (e.g., 'Modules Complete,' 'Ready for Shipment'). Follows up on overdue payments with polite, persistent reminders. You get paid on time, every time, without the awkward phone calls.

Reputation Agent

Sends a review request and a link to upload project photos two weeks after project completion. Monitors your Google Business Profile, Houzz, and other industry portals for new reviews. Drafts thoughtful responses for your approval, turning happy clients into powerful marketing assets.

Marketing Agent

Identifies past prospects who didn't sign. Creates a targeted email campaign showcasing your recently completed projects and new design options. Re-engages them with compelling visuals and testimonials, turning cold leads into new opportunities.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Quoting Agent read architectural plans (DWG, PDF)?

Yes. It parses standard architectural files to identify modules, dimensions, and material requirements, using this data to build a detailed and accurate cost estimate from your price book.

How does the agent handle complex, multi-stage bidding processes?

It can manage RFIs, RFPs, and multi-stage bids by tracking deadlines, sending reminders, and organizing all documentation. You can configure it to handle initial budgetary estimates and then build to a final, detailed proposal.

Can it coordinate with our shipping carriers and on-site GCs?

Yes. The Dispatch Brain (your AI Project Coordinator) integrates with your logistics partners and communicates directly with the General Contractor on-site to ensure a smooth delivery and installation process.

How does it handle change orders during production?

Any change request from a client is flagged for immediate review. Once you approve a change, the agent updates the project file, notifies the factory floor, and adjusts the final invoice automatically, creating a clear audit trail.

Can I set different lead qualification rules for different project types?

Absolutely. You can define specific criteria (e.g., budget, location, project size) for ADUs, single-family homes, and multi-family projects to ensure your team only spends time on qualified, high-value leads.

Does it sync with our existing CRM or project management software?

We offer integrations with popular platforms like Procore, Buildertrend, and Salesforce. The agent can sync customer data, project status, and financial information to keep all your systems up to date.

How does it help us win more bids?

By drastically reducing your bid creation time, you can respond to more opportunities, faster. The agent also ensures consistent, professional follow-up, which alone can increase win rates by over 20%.

Can my sales team use it on the road?

Yes. The entire platform is mobile-first. Your team can access project details, approve quotes, and communicate with clients from anywhere, on any device.

How is this different from a standard CRM?

CRMs are databases that you have to manage. Sterling is an AI team that does the work for you. It doesn't just store information; it answers inquiries, builds bids, and manages projects.

What is the setup process like?

You can be live in under an hour. We import your existing price book and module library, connect to your calendar and email, and your AI team is ready to start fielding leads.

Your next big project just landed in your inbox.

Sterling Modular qualifies the lead, builds the bid, and manages the project. You just build.
