The human-approved AI assistant for construction companies.
Sovun Assistant is a done-for-you AI back office for construction and contracting businesses. It drafts your lead replies, estimates, invoices, subcontractor notes, and daily briefings from your own pricing and job details — and nothing reaches a customer, a vendor, or your books until you approve it.
Built around how construction companies actually run
Construction work is spread across the office, the truck, the job site, vendors, subs, and a pile of paperwork. Bid invitations come in by email, plans arrive as PDFs, change orders happen by text, and the details that win or lose money live in a dozen places at once. Sovun Assistant learns your services, your pricing rules, your document templates, and your approval limits, then handles the repetitive office work that keeps you off the tools. It drafts; you decide.
Email intake and lead follow-up
Every bid invitation, homeowner inquiry, and referral that hits your inbox gets read, summarized, and sorted by scope and urgency. Sovun drafts a reply in your company's voice, pulls out the details you need to quote, and lists what's still missing — square footage, site access, timeline, spec. When a lead goes quiet, it prepares timed follow-up drafts so estimates you spent real time on don't die in an inbox.
- Sorts bid invitations, homeowner inquiries, and referrals as they arrive
- Summarizes scope, location, and urgency at a glance
- Drafts replies in your company's voice, ready to approve
- Prepares follow-up reminders so warm leads don't go cold
Estimate and proposal drafts from your pricing
Sovun builds estimate and proposal drafts using your own labor rates, material costs, and markup rules — not generic numbers off the internet. It separates what it knows from what it's assuming, flags the line items that need your judgment, and formats the proposal the way your customers already see it. You review the math and the scope, adjust anything, and approve before it goes out.
- Line-item estimate drafts built from your rates and markups
- A clear split between confirmed figures and assumptions
- Scope summaries and exclusions written in plain language
- Proposal drafts formatted to your existing template
Invoice drafts and subcontractor and vendor notes
When a job wraps or a phase is complete, Sovun prepares invoice drafts with the right line items, quantities, totals, and payment terms before anything posts to your accounting. It also keeps subcontractor and vendor notes organized — who quoted what, which purchase orders are open, which deliveries are outstanding — so nothing gets billed or paid twice. Everything is a draft until you approve it.
- Invoice drafts with line items, quantities, and payment terms
- Subcontractor and vendor notes kept in one place
- Open purchase orders and outstanding deliveries surfaced
- Nothing posts to your books without your sign-off
Scheduling drafts and daily briefings
Sovun prepares schedule options for crews, inspections, and vendor deliveries, and turns your week into a short list you can confirm. Each morning it hands you a briefing: what needs a reply, which estimates are waiting, which invoices are unpaid, and which follow-ups are due — so you start the day knowing exactly where your attention is worth the most.
- Crew, inspection, and delivery scheduling drafts
- Job reminders and calendar drafts ready to confirm
- A daily briefing of what needs your attention
- Unpaid invoices and overdue follow-ups flagged early
Human approval on everything that leaves your business
Sovun Assistant is not autopilot. It never emails a customer, sends a proposal, bills a job, schedules a crew, or writes to QuickBooks on its own. Every external action is a draft that waits for you to tap Approve — usually from your phone, in a few seconds. You get the hours back without ever putting your name on something you didn't see.
Start with one workflow, then expand
Most construction companies start Sovun on their biggest time-sink — usually bid intake and estimate follow-up — and prove it saves time before connecting anything else. From there you add email, calendar, spreadsheets, job software, and accounting one at a time, each with its own approval rules. It's a 30-day pilot with no long-term contract, so you judge it by the hours it gives back.
Common questions
Does Sovun Assistant send bids or invoices to customers on its own?
No. Every proposal, estimate, invoice, schedule change, and customer email is a draft until you approve it. Sovun does the work and waits for your sign-off before anything leaves your business.
Can it build estimates from our own pricing?
Yes. Sovun uses your labor rates, material costs, and markup rules to draft line-item estimates and proposals, and it clearly separates confirmed figures from assumptions so you can check the math before it goes out.
Which tools does it connect to?
Email, calendar, spreadsheets, job and CRM software, and accounting systems like QuickBooks — added one at a time, only when you authorize each one, each with its own approval rules.
How do we get started?
Most construction companies begin with a 30-day pilot around one workflow, usually bid intake and estimate follow-up. There's no long-term contract, and you judge it by the hours it saves.
