About Ben
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.
Why I do this
I'm a second-generation carpenter. I learned the trade from my dad, and I carried forward what he taught me: quality work, honest pricing and accountability. I bring the same thing to AI work. Plain talk, working demos before you spend money, and nothing you're locked into.
I don't have a list of big clients to show you yet. What I do have is 15 years of running a real business, the systems I use in my own, and my own research on local businesses. That's why I'm starting with founding pilot clients.
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]
