Automation for contractors in Toronto
Automation for contractors means the admin behind each job runs without you. The quote follow-up goes out on schedule. The supplier order goes in the day the job sells, and the customer's details land in Jobber and QuickBooks with no re-typing. Lazer Lab builds and runs AI agents and automations for Toronto trades: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and renovation.
The written proposal sets out what we will build, the delivery schedule, and the support needed after launch. Hosting, monitoring, and maintenance are agreed as part of your project's scope.
You keep the tools you have. No new software for you or the crew to learn.
Jobber
QuickBooks
Google Calendar
GmailThe admin that follows you home
You price the job in the driveway and promise a quote by tonight. Then the phone rings, the crew needs an answer, and the quote goes out Thursday. The customer booked someone else Tuesday. The system holding all of this together is your memory.
- Leads go cold. The call comes in while you're under a sink, and by the time you reply they've booked another contractor.
- The supplier order didn't go in. It had to go out today, and at 9pm it is still in your head.
- The quote you forgot. You meant to follow up Tuesday. You found it Thursday. Job's gone.
- Copy-paste all day. Same customer info from email to spreadsheet to Jobber, by hand, with two typos.
- Data entry at 11pm. Admin fits in after the real work, so it eats your nights.
The quote follow-up, step by step
One automation is one trigger and one finished outcome, with no hands on the middle. For an HVAC or plumbing shop, the quote follow-up looks like this:
The agent that writes the follow-up runs under your permissions and sees only what you can already see; a reply that needs judgment waits for your sign-off.
Built on Jobber, QuickBooks, and Google Calendar
Supplier orders run on the same pattern. Marking a job sold in Jobber triggers the rest: the materials order goes to your supplier, the install date lands on Google Calendar, the customer gets a timeline, and the job record updates. If the supplier goes quiet, the automation chases them and flags you. The order and the calendar entry are automations, fixed rules with the same result each time. A supplier reply that needs reading before anyone acts on it is agent work.
None of this requires new software. We build on what you run now: Jobber, QuickBooks, Gmail or Outlook, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, Calendly, Stripe, and most other tools contractors use. If we suggest changing a tool, it's because your setup blocks the automation.
Your accounts, logins, and data stay yours. We agree on hosting, system access, support responsibilities, and handover arrangements before work begins.
Built for service businesses
Our clients include Sauna Depot, RI Landscaping, and Tolis Automotive. At Sauna Depot, the system we built handles about 80% of everyday requests on its own, customer emails and quotes included, and quotes and routine replies go out the same day. Nothing gets re-typed between apps.
We're based in Toronto and work with clients anywhere.
How pricing works
Each project is quoted around the process you want to improve, the tools it connects, and the work needed to make it reliable. A quote follow-up, supplier-order workflow, and connected operations system have different scopes.
You receive a written proposal covering deliverables, timing, the build cost, and payment terms before work begins. We quote in CAD and identify any ongoing support, hosting, software, or AI usage costs, including how they will be billed. Ownership and engagement terms are agreed for your project.
Questions about this
Do I have to replace Jobber or QuickBooks?
No. The automation connects to what you already run. Jobber stays your job board, QuickBooks stays your books, and we move the details between them so nobody re-types a customer's name three times. Your accounts and logins stay under your control.
I run a two-person crew. Is this worth it at my size?
Headcount matters less than the problem you want to solve. We can start with a focused workflow, such as quote follow-ups or supplier orders, and give you a proposal for that scope. The build cost and any ongoing costs are clear before you decide.
What stops the AI from sending a customer a bad quote?
The agent runs with agreed access to your tools. Anything that needs judgment, including a quote, can wait for your sign-off. Uncertain requests are passed to a person. Monitoring and issue handling are defined in the project's support scope.
Can you automate my phones too?
Phone and voice AI is Telvo, our sister company (telvo.ai). Lazer Lab handles what happens after the call, from the quote and the follow-up to the supplier order and the books.
Bring the job that eats the most hours.
A 20-minute call. Nothing to prepare. If automation isn't the right move, you'll hear it on the call.
