Do I cancel my apps?

Yes. Cancel the app stack.

I built Merlin for Construction so you can get rid of app fatigue. Nothing new to install: only Claude, the Merlin for Construction plugin, and the tools you already use, connected.

What stays: Claude, the plugin, and your email, calendar, QuickBooks and files.

Beyond the job

Austin answers every call.

Day or night, he picks up, answers questions and books the estimate visit on your calendar.

Austin is an AI assistant. The voice and name are examples.

The same plugin also gets you found when customers ask AI, posts your finished jobs, screens applicants and trains new hires.

Pricing

Two ways to start.

Same plugin, same $169 a month. The difference is who sets it up. Both open from the waitlist first, and we let people in in small groups.

Install it and run it yourself.

Questions

Before you
start.

Do I cancel Buildertrend, CompanyCam and my other apps?

Yes. I built Merlin for Construction so you can get rid of app fatigue. Here is what moves over today:

  • Window and door counts, door counts, casing and room areas from the plans (takeoff software)
What does it cost?

Set it up yourself: $0 setup and $169 a month. Or we set it up for your whole company: starting at $2,495, then $169 a month. Both are plus your Claude plan.

When can I start?

Both buttons put you on the waitlist. We let people in in small groups and email you when your spot opens.

What do I need to run it?

A Claude plan, the Merlin for Construction plugin, and the tools you already use. No new app for your crew to learn.

Will it send anything on its own?

No. Quotes, orders and messages wait for your OK.

Does it work for my trade?

The video shows windows and doors. The same steps run for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing and framing.
