Project-size and budget qualification means Maya asks a short set of questions to understand what a caller actually wants built, roughly what they expect to spend, and how soon, before booking the right kind of consultation — the capability that matters most for a general contractor fielding a mix of small jobs and major renovations.
Maya asks what the caller wants to renovate or build, and captures the basic scope in their own words.
Maya asks a rough budget range and desired start date, based on the qualifying questions you've set for your business.
Maya books a consultation slot directly into your calendar.
An AI receptionist answers every call and books the appointment in the same conversation; a traditional answering service takes a message for a callback; voicemail captures nothing until someone checks it. Here's an honest, feature-by-feature comparison for a general contracting business.
| Feature | AI Receptionist (Maya) | Traditional Answering Service | Voicemail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Availability | 24/7, every call answered | Often 24/7, but calls are queued and relayed | Only when no one picks up |
| Books appointments live | Yes — direct calendar booking on the call | Rare — usually takes a message for callback | No |
| Bilingual (English/French) | Yes, auto-detected per caller | Depends on staffing | No |
| Cost model | $299–$499 CAD: a flat monthly fee with a fair-use minute allowance; usage above it is billed per minute | Often per-minute or per-call, variable | Included with phone line; captures no bookings |
Starter is $299 CAD/month, and Growth is $499 CAD/month. See the full AI receptionist pricing guide for a detailed cost breakdown.
