General Contractors websites for Fieldpulse that stop handoff leaks
Problem / Fix
What's broken on most general contractor websites
What breaks first
What's broken on most general contractor websites
We are frustrated that most GC sites capture contact info but not the information that determines fit and next steps. Without a structured intake, teams spend the first call sorting out basic scope and timing instead of moving to a walk-through or proposal path.
Cost of delay
A weak general contractor handoff can cost the consult slot and the follow-up sequence that should have started immediately.
Industry context lives at /for/general-contractors.
What the connected website changes
What a FieldPulse-connected website does instead
The site captures scope and routing context before the handoff. On the native path, the website routes prospects into FieldPulse’s Booking Portal for intake. On the custom path, a backend integration uses FieldPulse’s documented API model (API key via support) to write structured intake into FieldPulse records once qualified.
Native path
Use FieldPulse’s Booking Portal for straightforward request/estimate intake when the portal flow fits.
API or managed intake
Use a server-side FieldPulse API handoff when the website needs deeper qualification before creating jobs, estimates, or project records.
Connection patterns
How the connection works
Native FieldPulse handoff (Booking Portal)
Route visitors into FieldPulse’s Booking Portal so requests start inside FieldPulse rather than inbox threads.
When to use
When the portal flow captures enough detail and you want the simplest documented intake path.
Custom General Contractor intake + FieldPulse API
Collect scope category, constraints, and timing first, then write structured intake into FieldPulse via a backend integration. FieldPulse’s public API article says API keys are obtained via support/chat and webhooks are limited to job status changes at this time.
When to use
When the business wants the website to qualify projects before creating records in FieldPulse.
Intake design
What the website captures for general contractors
Field
Project address
Location affects service area, permitting realities, and scheduling.
Field
Scope category (remodel, addition, repair, etc.)
Different scopes require different estimating and scheduling paths.
Field
Timeline (ASAP vs. planned window)
Separates urgent repairs from planned builds.
Field
Project constraints (access, occupied home, etc.) (optional)
Constraints change feasibility and scheduling steps.
Field
Best contact channel + availability
Reduces follow-up drag and missed calls.
Field
Contact details
Gives the team a clean way to respond without rebuilding the same basics.
We usually find 3 FieldPulse handoff leaks on General Contractor sites.
- We keep running into this: GC inquiries hit FieldPulse without scope category and timing context.
- We keep running into this: the first callback is spent clarifying basics before scheduling a walk-through.
- We keep running into this: the website does not capture enough general contractors context before the handoff.
