For construction and contracting
An AI email assistant for construction companies
A public tender closing in three weeks, a change to site inspection rules, a client requesting a fit-out quote and a subcontractor offering its own crew. CatchTheMail reads each message you forward, separates the work you could win from the services others want to sell you, and places the tender first.
How your email is assessed
Four messages a contractor might receive in a single week, and how the analysis assesses each one.
- Tender and callHigh
New tender: school strengthening works, bids due in 20 days
An open tender with less than three weeks remaining. Marked high priority and flagged as an opportunity, since pricing a bid takes time.
- Notice and warningNormal
Building inspection regulation amended, in force from 1 January
A rule that changes how you operate on site. The rationale states what has changed; the effective date keeps the priority normal for now.
- New customerNormal
Office fit-out, 600 square metres, can you quote?
A client asking you to carry out work. Flagged as an opportunity.
- PromotionLow
Facade and insulation crew available for your projects
A subcontractor offering its own services. Since you would be the paying party, it is classified as promotion, however strong its references appear.
Who is paying whom
A contractor's inbox is full of courteous, professional letters from firms that wish to work with you. Most of them expect to be paid by you. The construction lens first determines the direction: a client asking you to build is a new customer; a firm offering to build for you is promotion.
It also recognises the warnings that affect a project: building regulations and permits, price escalation and index decisions, material shortages, site safety notices, and changes to social security and workforce rules.
Tender portals and public senders
Tender alerts often come from automated portals and public bodies, and a bulk filter would otherwise set them aside. When a sector is selected, messages from institutional domains such as .gov are analysed, and you can add a commercial tender service to your followed senders so that its alerts are read as well.
How it fits into your workflow
You select your sector once, during sign-up. No further configuration is required: you forward emails to your private CatchTheMail address, either manually or through a single Gmail filter, and each message is returned with a category, a priority, a brief rationale and a draft reply.
CatchTheMail never connects to your mailbox. It requests no Gmail or Outlook permissions and sees only the messages you forward. Nothing is sent on your behalf without your approval, and your email is not used to train AI models.
When it is not the right tool
- You want your inbox organised without forwarding any messages. CatchTheMail sees only what you send to it.
- You need a tender search service. CatchTheMail analyses the notices you receive; it does not search for new ones.
- You need project management or cost estimation software.
