π± A NEW WAY TO START YOUR NEXT PROJECT
Don't just tell us about your project. SHOW US.
Have a driveway, interlock or landscaping project you're thinking about?
A1 Tophat now gives you another way to get the conversation started β right from your phone.
With our Live Project Assessment, you can connect with us and walk us through your property using your phone's camera.
And this is more than a video call.
While we're looking at your project together, we can:
πΈ Capture images of the areas we're discussing
π Take and calibrate measurements
ποΈ Mark up areas of the project
π Work through measurements and quantities
π° Begin building your estimate in real time
π± Review the estimate with you on your phone
π§ Send your estimate directly to your inbox
But there's something important we haven't forgotten...
Technology doesn't replace experience.
A phone camera can't always reveal what an experienced contractor sees standing on the property.
Grass can hide the true edge of an asphalt driveway. Drainage and water damage may not be obvious through a camera. Grade, slope, existing construction, access and other site conditions can require an experienced eye.
That's why we don't see this as a replacement for meeting our customers.
We see it as a better way to start the relationship.
You can show us what you're thinking about.
We can learn about your project.
We can begin assessing the scope and developing an estimate.
And when an on-site evaluation is appropriate, we're already familiar with you and your project before we arrive.
SEE IT. MEASURE IT. ASSESS IT. BUILD IT.
That's the power behind A1 Tophat's new Live Project Assessment.
