Turn RFQs, subcontractor questions, vendor quotes, and scheduling emails into ready-to-send replies, grounded in your services, rates, and past jobs, right inside Gmail and Outlook.
Free 7-day trial · Works inside Gmail & Outlook
Construction companies are surprisingly email-heavy. A single small office fields RFQs and bid requests, subcontractor inquiries, vendor quotes, permit questions, invoice requests, and scheduling changes, and most of them follow the same handful of patterns. InboxPilot reads each email, pulls the right context from your services, rate sheets, and past jobs, and drafts an accurate reply in your voice, so your office answers every builder, sub, and vendor fast without hiring an admin.
RFQs, subs, vendors, permits, and scheduling all hit the same inbox. InboxPilot drafts the repetitive layer from your own services and rates, so your office answers fast without hiring an admin.
A late reply to a bid request means the GC already moved to the next contractor on the list, and you're out of the running before you quoted.
Subs, vendors, permits, invoices, and scheduling changes all land in the same inbox, and there's rarely a dedicated admin to triage them.
Lead times, insurance and licensing, service areas, day rates, and 'are you available?' repeat on every project and every crew.
Draft a reply the moment a bid request lands, confirm the scope, and ask for the plans, specs, and due date so estimating can start.
Handle subcontractor availability, insurance, and scope questions and vendor quote requests from your own rate sheets and past jobs.
Pulls from your capabilities, service areas, and past bids so every answer is accurate, not generic boilerplate.
Sends estimating, accounting, and scheduling emails to the right person with the context already attached.
Learns how your office writes to clients, subs, and vendors, so every message sounds like your company.
Drafts wait in the inbox, and unusual project questions are flagged for a person instead of answered automatically.
Acknowledge the request, confirm scope and service area, and collect the plans, specs, and timeline estimating needs.
Answer availability, insurance, and scope questions and route qualified subs to the project manager.
Reply to quote requests and supplier questions from your rate sheets and purchase history.
Handle schedule changes, site access, and permit-status questions and keep the client, sub, and crew updated.
RFQs, subs, vendors, permits, invoices, and schedule changes hit the same inbox. InboxPilot drafts the repetitive layer so nothing sits.
No new software for the crew to learn and no change for your clients, subs, or vendors. InboxPilot works inside the inbox your office already uses.
Link Gmail or Outlook in one click. Nothing changes for the clients, subs, and vendors emailing you.
Upload your capabilities, service areas, rate sheets, insurance and licensing, and past bids.
Every RFQ, subcontractor, and vendor email gets a reply grounded in your materials. Approve, edit, or send.
Answers pulled from your services, rate sheets, and past jobs. Not generic email off the web.

RFQ - Oakdale site excavation & grading
We're bidding the Oakdale project and need an excavation and grading number. Are you available to start in September, and what do you need from us to put a quote together?
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the invite to bid Oakdale. We're open in September and this is squarely in our wheelhouse.
To get you an accurate number, can you send the site plans, the grading and drainage spec, and the bid due date? A quick note on haul-off and any dewatering would help too.
I'll get this to our estimator today and we'll have a proposal back to you well before the deadline.
Ray
Builders, contractors, and excavation crews use the hours they save to bid more work and stay on top of jobs, not to catch up on email after the crew goes home.
| Task | Before InboxPilot | After InboxPilot |
|---|---|---|
| RFQs and bid requests | Sit until someone in the office has a free minute | Acknowledged in seconds, scope confirmed, routed to estimating |
| Subcontractor questions | Answered late, if at all | Drafted from your rate sheet and insurance requirements |
| Vendor and material quotes | Buried under project email | Replied from your purchase history and rate sheets |
| Scheduling changes | Phone tag and missed updates | Draft update ready for the client, sub, and PM |
| After-hours and weekend email | Backlog before the crew starts Monday | Drafts ready by morning |
| Weekly office email time | Hours retyping the same answers | Minutes reviewing ready-to-send drafts |
A part-time office admin runs $3,000 and up a month. InboxPilot handles the repetitive RFQ, subcontractor, and vendor email layer for a fraction of that.

“RFQs and subcontractor emails used to sit until someone in the office had a minute. Now a solid draft is waiting the moment they land, and we haven't missed a bid deadline since.”

Owner, civil & excavation contractor
Yes. It detects RFQs, drafts an acknowledgement that confirms scope and service area, asks for the plans, specs, and bid due date, and routes the thread to estimating so nothing sits in the inbox.
