Fort Collins & the Front Range

Practical AI for Front Range businesses, built by a guy who ran one for 15 years.

I'm Ben, a Fort Collins carpenter who ran a construction business for 15 years. Now I build AI systems that find customers, follow up on every lead and take admin off your plate.

What I fix

Six problems I solve

1

Find more customers

AI-built lead lists and personal outreach that sounds like you. I find the businesses or homeowners who actually need what you do, then help you reach them one real message at a time.

2

Never miss a call

Missed-call text-back and an AI receptionist or website chat that answers at 9pm. Your crew is on roofs and under sinks, not by the phone. Every caller still gets an answer.

3

Follow up on every lead and quote

Automatic texts and emails so quotes don't go cold and leads don't slip through the cracks while you're on the job.

4

Faster quotes and estimates

AI that drafts estimates and proposals from your notes and photos, so you're not writing quotes at 10pm.

5

Scheduling and admin on autopilot

Booking, reminders, invoices and paperwork that mostly take care of themselves.

6

Know your numbers

Simple weekly reports on leads, jobs and revenue. No spreadsheet digging.

Founding Pilot Clients

I'm taking on a handful of Front Range businesses as founding clients.

Pick the problem that costs you the most, and I'll build the fix as a pilot at no cost, or on a commission-only basis where I only get paid when it brings you revenue. If it doesn't work, you owe nothing and you keep what we learned.

Right now my main focus is AI lead generation: finding the right customers for you and helping you reach them.

Limited spots. [Number of spots to confirm, e.g. 5]

Built for contractors, by a contractor

I've been on the ladder when the phone rang.

I spent 15 years running Timby Construction in Northern Colorado. I know what it's like to be on a ladder when the phone rings, to write quotes at 10pm and to chase subs and permits. For remodelers, roofers, plumbers, flooring and every other trade, I build systems that answer while you're on the job and follow up so you don't have to.

Also helping salons, clinics, gyms, home services and B2B companies.

More for contractors

I checked 51 Northern Colorado contractor websites.

25 had no chat widget, so there was no way for a visitor to get an answer after hours.

From my own local research, Oct 2026.

Proof, not promises

How I use AI in my own construction business

I don't have client case studies yet, so here's what I actually run day to day:

  • An AI assistant that keeps my time logs, so I know where my hours go without filling in a spreadsheet.
  • Lead tracking: new leads get logged and organized in one place instead of living in my texts.
  • Email drafting: the assistant writes first drafts of replies and follow-ups, and I review them before they go out.
  • A lead-calling app I built on Twilio to work through a call list faster.

Nothing fancy. Just the boring stuff handled so I can spend more time on real work. [Ben: add an honest before/after in your own words]

How it works

Simple process. No surprises.

  1. Free 20-minute audit

    We talk through where your business leaks time and leads. No sales pitch.

  2. Free mockup

    I show you a working mockup or demo before you commit to anything.

  3. I build it

    I set up the one or two fixes that matter most, around the tools and phone number you already use.

  4. You own it

    Everything I build is yours. No long-term contracts. Keep it, change it, or walk away.

Meet Ben

A real person, right here in Fort Collins.

I'm Ben Timby. Born and raised in Fort Collins, I'm a carpenter by trade and ran Timby Construction for 15 years. Every business I've run had the same leak: missed calls, slow follow-up, quotes that went cold and too many nights doing paperwork. I started using AI to fix that in my own business, and now I build the same systems for other local owners. No jargon, no long contracts. I'll show you a working demo before you spend a dime.

Questions

Do I need to be tech savvy?

No. I set it up, show you how it works in plain English, and it runs in the background. If you can send a text, you can use it.

Will it work with my current phone number and tools?

That's the goal. Missed-call text-back can work with your existing number, and I build around what you already use. [Confirm specific integrations, e.g. Jobber, QuickBooks, Housecall Pro, before listing them.]

What does it cost?

Founding pilot clients pay nothing up front: the pilot is free or commission-only. After that, simple flat pricing. [Pricing to be set.]

Will it sound like a robot?

Not if it's set up right. Messages are written in your voice, and you review them before anything goes live.

Am I locked in?

No. No long-term contracts, and you own what we build.

Do you only work with contractors?

Contractors and trades come first because that's where I come from. I also work with home services, salons, clinics, gyms and B2B companies.
