How much does an AI automation project cost for a contractor or service business?

Evolvus Automat projects start at $2,500 for a Starter engagement (1-2 workflows, 2-week build) and $6,000 for Growth (4-6 workflows with a custom AI agent and CRM integration). Enterprise scopes are quoted after a free discovery call. Most projects deploy in 2-3 weeks.

Do you meet on-site in Leesburg, Reston, Arlington, or across the DMV?

Yes. I'm based in Leesburg, Virginia, with an office in Reston. On-site consultations are available across Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland. Remote engagements are supported for clients outside the DMV.

What tools do you use — n8n, Make, Claude, or custom AI?

Tool-agnostic. I work with Claude, Perplexity, Manus, Supabase, n8n, Make, and custom Python or Node code when the job calls for it. The right stack is the one that fits your problem and your budget — not the one I'm trying to upsell.

Full-Stack AI Systems for Contractors & Service Businesses

Q: What's different about Evolvus Automat vs. a generic AI agency?

I'm an operator, not just a consultant. I run a Class A general contractor company (since 2023), plus an import/export operation and a NoVA logistics business. Every AI system I sell to clients was built and battle-tested inside my own companies first.

Q: How fast can a lead-follow-up or dispatch automation be deployed?

Most single-workflow automations deploy in 2-3 weeks from the discovery call. Multi-system integrations (CRM + AI agent + reporting) run 3-4 weeks. Larger enterprise roadmaps run 4-8 weeks.

What I build

Systems that pay for themselves
in the first 90 days.

Six systems. Each one solves a specific operator pain and ships with a measurable outcome — calls recovered, jobs booked, hours returned. See pricing below.

Missed-Call Recovery

The problem

Every unanswered call is a lost job. 62% of callers dial a competitor within two minutes.

The fix

A 30-second auto-response that captures project details, offers a booking link, and syncs the lead into your CRM.

Outcome

~$1,200 recovered per otherwise-missed call.

See how it works →

24/7 Booking Agent

The problem

Your receptionist (or you) can't answer inbound after 5pm or on weekends — when most jobs decide.

The fix

An AI agent that qualifies inbound, checks your calendar, and books the estimate or consultation — in plain English, on any channel.

Outcome

60%+ of inbound booked without touching the phone.

See how it works →

Lead Qualification

The problem

You spend hours on tire-kickers while real opportunities go cold.

The fix

Under-a-minute triage that scores each lead on budget, timeline and fit, then routes hot leads to your phone and the rest to nurture.

Outcome

8–12 hours/week back in your calendar.

See how it works →

Multilingual AI Chatbot

The problem

Most site visitors bounce before they find the one answer they actually needed.

The fix

An on-site assistant trained on your business that answers in the visitor's language (EN · ES · PT · FR and more) and books them in when they're ready.

Outcome

2–3× conversion on paid traffic landing cold.

Website + Domain Migration

The problem

Your current site is slow, outdated, or locked into a page builder you can't edit — and every day you lose ranking and leads.

The fix

A premium site with SEO preserved, 301 redirects handled, email kept live, and a 90-day post-migration warranty. Zero downtime.

Outcome

Live in 14 days with rankings intact.

8-step migration playbook below ↓

Custom Back-Office Automations

The problem

Dispatch, invoicing, status updates, reports — the repetitive work that eats days and never stops.

The fix

Workflows scoped to your operation — each one built to replace a specific recurring task end-to-end.

Outcome

A full admin seat's worth of hours, returned to revenue work.

Scoped per business → see pricing ↓

How we work

We don't plug in ten MCPs.
We pick the one workflow that moves revenue
— and ship it in two weeks.

Most "AI automation" agencies try to automate everything at once. That's how you end up with ten half-built workflows nobody uses. Evolvus does the opposite.

Find the bottleneck

The one thing bleeding revenue.

Missed calls. Dead leads. Ghost quotes. Un-qualified inbound. We pick the single workflow with the highest revenue leak — not the most technically impressive one.

The Skill

Ship one Skill

Live in your stack in two weeks.

One Claude-powered Skill, wired into your CRM and phone, running on n8n. Tested inside my own businesses before it ever lands in yours.

Measure revenue

Before we talk about Skill #2.

We track jobs recovered, leads booked, hours returned. Once Skill #1 is paying for itself, we scope Skill #2. No bloat. No "workflow soup."

One Skill at a time. Because one working system beats ten half-built ones.

Where it hurts · what we ship

We don't sell tools.
We solve pains.

Every business we work with hits some version of the same four pains. Here's the one-line shape of each — and the one-system fix we ship.

The pain

Your phone rings off-hours and calls go to voicemail that no one checks. Meanwhile the caller is already on a competitor's page.

What we ship

A 24/7 intake system that responds in under 60 seconds, captures the job, and books the estimate — on any channel, in the caller's language.

The pain

Your inbox is full of tire-kickers. Real opportunities sit cold while you sort the noise.

What we ship

A qualification layer that scores each lead on budget, timeline, and fit — then routes the qualified ones straight to your phone and filters the rest.

The pain

You spend nights writing the same emails, invoices, and status updates. The admin work grows faster than revenue.

What we ship

Back-office automations scoped to your operation — dispatch, invoicing, reporting — so each repetitive task runs itself end-to-end.

The pain

Your website, CRM, calendar, and payment tools don't talk to each other. Every job needs manual re-entry across three screens.

What we ship

A single connected stack — site, intake, booking, payment, follow-up — running on whichever tools fit your operation best.

About the founder

I run three businesses in the DMV.
Then I automated them.

I've been building and operating small businesses in Northern Virginia since 2023.

A Class A general contractor serving residential and commercial projects across the DMV since 2023. I manage the full project lifecycle from estimating to delivery.

An import/export operation with international supplier relationships, running since 2023.

A transportation & logistics operation serving the NoVA/DMV corridor, running since 2025.

Each of those businesses hit the same wall: too much manual coordination, too many missed threads, too much time spent on repetitive work that wasn't growing the business. Starting in 2023 I began building AI automation — lead follow-up, dispatch, vendor communication, inventory, CRM — inside my own companies, out of necessity.

In January 2026 I launched Evolvus Automat to package those same systems for other operators. I still run all three businesses — they're my proving ground. Every system I sell to a client, I've been running in my own P&L first.

What that means for you: I'm not a consultant who read a book about automation. I'm a contractor, a logistics operator, and an importer who had to solve these problems in my own companies. If you're a contractor, service-business owner, or an operator tired of manual work — we speak the same language.

Why I built these systems.

Each quote below is a problem I solved inside one of my own companies — which is now the same system I ship to clients in that vertical. Client quotes go here as they land.

Operator insight · Contracting

After years running my own general contractor company, I was still losing leads because I couldn't respond fast enough. I built an AI follow-up system that now responds in under 30 seconds. That's the first thing I build for every new contractor client.

Operator insight · Logistics

My NoVA transportation business runs dispatch, billing and client updates every hour. I automated the whole coordination layer and got hours back every week. The same system ships to any fleet or service-dispatch operation.

Operator insight · Import/Export

My import/export business works with international suppliers — order tracking, follow-ups, inventory reconciliation. One missed thread breaks a shipment. I automated the vendor communication and inventory alerts. The same pattern works for any distributor or importer.

FAQ

Straight answers, DMV-specific.

What most Leesburg, Reston, and Northern Virginia owners ask me on the discovery call.

Starter projects are $2,500 — 1–2 workflows built and deployed in 2 weeks. Growth projects are $6,000 — 4–6 workflows plus a custom AI agent and CRM integration. Enterprise scopes are quoted on the discovery call once we've mapped your actual operation. Most projects go live in 2–3 weeks.

Yes. I'm based in Leesburg, Virginia, with an office in Reston. On-site consultations available across Loudoun County, Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Ashburn, DC, and Maryland. Remote engagements supported nationwide.

I'm an operator, not just a consultant. I run a Class A general contractor company (since 2023), plus an import/export operation and a NoVA logistics business. Every system I sell was built and battle-tested inside my own companies first. I'm selling solutions I use every day — not theory.

Single-workflow automations (inbound lead response, CRM sync, dispatch notifications) deploy in 2–3 weeks from the discovery call. Multi-system integrations (CRM + AI agent + reporting) run 3–4 weeks. Larger enterprise roadmaps run 4–8 weeks. No surprises, no scope creep — updates every 48 hours.

Tool-agnostic. I work with Claude, Perplexity, Manus, Supabase, n8n, Make, and custom Python or Node code when the job calls for it. Integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, Airtable, Slack, Google Workspace, Stripe, Calendly, Go High Level, and 200+ others. The right stack is the one that fits your problem and your budget — not the one I'm trying to upsell.
