Project scoping
Answer "can you dig this?" while the project is still on paper.
The people on your website are planning something — a house site to prep, a basement to dig, a waterline trench, a garage to knock down, a lot to clear. They're comparing contractors before they ever call one. Zurvo answers from your own website right away: the work you take on, your service radius, whether you handle small residential jobs or stick to site packages. A visitor can even upload a photo of the lot, so your estimator sees the slope and the trees before anyone drives out.
- Answers questions on site prep, trenching, grading, land clearing, and demolition
- Lets visitors describe the job and upload a photo of the site
Permit questions
Who pulls the permit and calls 811 before you dig?
Zurvo explains how permits and utility locates work on your jobs, straight from your own content — who handles the paperwork, when 811 locates happen, what the customer needs to have ready — so the questions your office answers every week get handled without a phone call. Do I need a permit for a driveway? Who pulls the demo permit — you or me? Because it only answers from your content, Zurvo won't invent local permit rules; when it doesn't know, it says so and captures the question for your team.
- Explains your permitting and utility-locate process from your own content
- Says it doesn't know rather than guessing at local rules
Equipment and access
Field the access questions before the site visit.
Will a machine fit through my fence gate? What happens to my lawn? Do you haul the dirt away or leave it? What if you hit rock? These questions decide whether a homeowner requests a quote or quietly leaves. Zurvo answers the ones your site covers — your machines, typical access needs, how you handle spoils — and collects the rest so your estimator walks into the site visit already knowing the job.
- Handles routine questions on machines, access, and what happens to the spoils
- Captures the details your estimator needs before the site visit
More leads
Turn quiet plan-shoppers into quote requests.
Homeowners plan digs at the kitchen table after dinner, and builders scope subs long after your office closes. Zurvo chats with them whenever they show up, answers what it can, and collects their name, phone, and what they're planning. In the spring rush — when everyone wants their site prepped the week the ground dries out — the contractor who responds first usually wins, and your leads are waiting for you at 7am instead of lost to a competitor's contact form.
- Collects contact details and project scope inside a normal conversation
- Captures evening and weekend inquiries your office would never see
Know your customers
Which excavation jobs is your website losing?
The jobs you never hear about: Zurvo saves every conversation and shows you what visitors ask most — including what it couldn't answer — so if people keep asking about French drains, pool digs, or stump removal and your site never mentions them, you'll see it instead of losing that work invisibly. Fix the gaps and your site starts pulling in the jobs it was silently turning away.
- Spot the project questions the chatbot couldn't answer from your current pages
- Know which services to add to your site to win more work
An AI chatbot for your excavation business.
Excavation leads start as half-formed plans: a homeowner wondering if a mini excavator fits through their gate, a builder pricing site packages for spring, someone asking who pulls the demo permit. Zurvo is an AI chatbot for excavation contractors that answers those questions on your website 24/7 — from your own content only — and captures the project details so your estimator follows up on a scoped job, not a mystery.
Here’s how it works:
- Train it on your business. Point Zurvo at your website and upload documents — your services, radius, permit process, access requirements. It answers from that content via the knowledge base and says it doesn’t know rather than inventing local rules.
- Put it on every page. The widget installs with a single embed line — no plugin, no developer needed.
- Get scoped leads, not just chats. Zurvo captures each visitor’s name, email, phone, and project, and Insights shows you what people keep asking so you know which services your site is missing.
If you’re running crews, machines, and an estimate backlog at once, see how operations teams use Zurvo to keep first contact from eating the day. Plans start at $39/mo with a 3-day trial — see pricing or try it live.
Frequently asked questions.
How does an AI chatbot help my excavation business?
It answers scoping, permit, and access questions around the clock, captures each visitor's name, phone, and project details, and gets those leads to your team fast — so your estimator spends time on real quotes instead of first-contact phone tag, and evening inquiries stop disappearing.
Will it answer questions about my specific services and rates?
Yes. Zurvo learns from your own website and any files you upload, so it answers with your real services, service radius, and pricing — site prep, trenching, grading, demolition, whatever you actually do. If a visitor asks about something your site doesn't cover, it tells you so you can add it.
Can it tell customers whether they need a permit?
It explains how the process works on your jobs — who pulls permits, when 811 locates happen, what you need from the customer — using your own content. It won't invent local permit rules: when the answer isn't in your content, it says it doesn't know and captures the question so your team can follow up.
Can it schedule the site visit or book the job?
No. Zurvo doesn't book appointments or touch your calendar. It captures the request — name, phone, the property, and the scope — and sends it to your team, so you control when the estimator goes out and what gets quoted.
How long does it take to set up?
About five minutes. You point Zurvo at your website, it trains on your content, and you add the widget with one line of code. Plans start at $39/mo with a 3-day free trial.
Answer every customer, even when your team can't.
See Zurvo answer from your own services, pricing, and policies — and capture the lead when a customer needs you.
