Phone Systems Built for General Contractors
Talkroute helps general contractors stay responsive—whether you’re on a jobsite, coordinating subcontractors, or handling new leads. Set up a professional business phone system in minutes, with no hardware or contracts.
Missed Calls Slow Down Projects—and Cost You Jobs
General contractors juggle a lot: clients, subs, suppliers, permits, and timelines. If calls don’t get answered or routed correctly, projects stall and leads slip away.
Common challenges contractors face:
- Calls coming in while you’re on a jobsite
- New leads going to voicemail
- Subcontractors calling the wrong person
- No easy way to route calls between field and office
A basic cell phone number isn’t enough once your operation grows.
