The questions depend on the call.
Go beyond a name and number. Choose which follow-up questions matter to your team, and adjust them to the services you offer.
- Has any permitting been initiated?
- Is financing or cash ready for this project?
- Referred by / how heard — referrals are the highest-converting source for GCs
- Is this an insurance-claim driven rebuild?
- When the caller prefers a callback (mornings / evenings / specific day)
Calls your team will recognize.
Use these examples to try your setup. Decide which requests need a quick handoff and which can wait for a callback. Response times and availability are yours to confirm.
“We have architect plans for an addition and want to start in a month”
“Kitchen remodel — we know what we want and the financing is approved”
“Insurance claim approved; need a GC to rebuild the fire-damaged section”
“Thinking about a basement finish next spring”
“We're getting bids on a deck — want to add you to the list”
“Want to see what a bathroom remodel would run, no rush”
“Just curious roughly what an addition costs”
“I'm doing my own permit — quick question on setbacks”
“I'm an electrician — do you need subs?”
