CONTRACTORS FOR OFFICES, & SHOPPING CENTRES AND BUILDINGS

Your tenders got you shortlisted.
Your follow-up lost the award.

For commercial cleaning, fire protection, HVAC maintenance, security and grounds contractors. Nexi answers every message from building managers in minutes, asks the questions your service team would, books the site walk, and hands it to your office manager with all the details. Nexi never makes up a contract price, only shares pricing when you’ve told it to, and never says something passes a safety check.

What that actually looks like

The building manager emailed three of you. The first real reply set the terms.

A building manager emails three contractors at 3:55pm on a Tuesday. Your technicians are on site, your office manager is on the phone to an apartment building committee about a fault, and the email sits in the team inbox until Thursday.

By then one of the other two has walked the building, and your quote, the third one, is the comparison they use to keep the others honest. Nobody dropped the ball. The message just arrived when the office was already full.

The same problem hits your own book. Contracts coming up for renewal go quiet until the manager looks elsewhere. A technician's defect note never becomes a quote because nobody owned it.

One message, two outcomes

The contract isn’t lost on price. It’s lost before the site walk.

Same RFQ. Same contractor. Same capable office manager. The difference is who replies with a real question about the sites first.

Before you decide a source isn’t working

The tender team gets blamed. The leak was in the follow-up.

A contractor runs a campaign to people who look after commercial buildings. Forty messages come in. Six get a same-day reply with a real question about the sites; the rest wait for a quiet hour. The review says the campaign “produced two contracts”.

The budget moves to something else. Next quarter, the same forty messages, the same six replies and the same two contracts.

Nexi fixes the step that leaks: every message answered in the first 20 minutes, checked against your rules, owned by a named person, and followed up through committee and budget cycles.

The marketing did its job. The follow-up let it down.

Amplify, don’t replace

Your service team works 38 hours. Callouts and committee emails don’t.

Nexi doesn’t replace your office manager. It gives them the whole week and every visitor: every message after you close answered, every live visitor screened, every renewal date written down.

Nexi · all 168 hours, every depot

The 6am email from a building manager, the 8pm note after the committee meeting, the Sunday a burst pipe turns into a tender.

Your office manager · their 38

They set the rules and thresholds, step into any conversation with all the details, and Nexi steps back.

Not a chatbot

A chatbot waits for a click. Nexi opens the conversation with building managers already on your site, remembers them across email, phone and chat, and hands your office manager a customer with all the details.

How Nexi works

Nexi replies and books the walk. Your estimators win the contract.

Nexi handles everything up to the point a customer is ready to talk price or buy. You decide where that point is. After that, it’s your team.

Who it's for inside your business

Everyone on your team gets something different.

Winning and keeping contracts takes a team. Here's what changes for each person.

Built for how contract work is actually won

The things that make these messages different.

A building manager asking three contractors about three buildings isn’t a one-off job. Here’s how Nexi handles the parts generic chatbots get wrong.

Renewals from your own contract book

Nexi follows up contracts coming up for renewal, using your own client list, so you pitch before they start looking elsewhere. It never contacts people who haven’t dealt with you.

Urgent callouts vs new work

A failed fire panel or a flooded plant room from an existing client is flagged as urgent and sent to your on-call person. New sales messages go to sales.

Safety checks are yours, not Nexi’s

It never says something passes a safety check or gives opinions on faults: no AS 1851 logbooks, no ESM statements. Those go to your trained, qualified staff.

Committees and portals

Building managers and apartment committees work to meeting dates and online deadlines. Nexi notes the decision date and who makes the call, so your team follows up at the right time.

Tenders stay with your estimators

It gathers scope, site count and contract dates, and books the site walk. It never makes up a contract price or writes a tender response. Pricing goes to your estimator unless you’ve told Nexi to share it.

Your CRM stays the source of truth

Every conversation is written to NEXUSPRO CRM, HubSpot or Salesforce, with the site, contract and a named owner.

VisitorHi, I manage three apartment buildings in Subiaco. Looking for a new fire services contractor. Current contract ends 30 October.
Nexi · AIThanks for getting in touch. I’m Nexi, the AI assistant here. I can get the details to our office manager now. Roughly how many lots, and which services do you need: routine servicing, defects, or both?
Visitor140 lots across the three. Routine servicing plus some outstanding defects from the last inspection.
Nexi · AIGot it. Contract pricing and safety questions both sit with our team, so they’ll handle those. Would a site walk this Friday morning work, so they can scope it properly?

What you’ll see in your demo

It replies like your best service team would, and books the walk.

1

It replies with a real question, fast

Not “thanks for getting in touch”. A question about the sites, inside the first few minutes.

2

It captures what the estimator needs

Sites, lots, services needed, access and contract end date, in the customer’s own words.

3

It passes it on and keeps the record

Site walk booked, named owner assigned, renewal date written into the CRM.

The rules it works to

Try to make it say a safety check has passed. It won't.

Nexi follows the rules you set. The ones in red are built in, and nobody can switch them off.

Nexi does
  • Answer every message from building and property managers, day and night
  • Find out about sites, scope, access and contract end date
  • Book site walks into your calendar
  • Follow up through committee and budget cycles until they reply or ask it to stop
  • Write every customer and renewal date into your CRM with a named owner
  • Flag urgent callouts to a person immediately
Nexi never Locked
  • Makes up a contract price or a rough guess. It only shares pricing you’ve told it to; everything else goes to your estimator
  • Says something passes a safety check or signs off on reports: AS 1851 logbooks, ESM reports or anything else
  • Pretends to be a person. It says it’s an AI, every time
  • Contacts people who never contacted you
Who it’s built for

Contractors who grow through RFQs, renewals and site walks.

If your work is won by talking with people who look after offices, shopping centres and apartment buildings, Nexi is built for you.

Commercial service contractors

Your contracts are worth more than $20,000 a year, and renewals, RFQs and defect quotes decide your growth.

  • 10 to 50 staff
  • Contract values above $20,000 a year

Can it handle RFQs that arrive by email?

In a live setup, messages from your website, phone and inbox land in the same system, each with one CRM record and a named owner. Your demo lets you test the website side on your own content.

Will it ever comment on safety matters?

No. Nexi never says something passes a safety check, signs off logbooks or comments on what meets the rules, whether AS 1851, ESM or anything else. Those questions go straight to your team.

Does it help with renewals?

Every contract end date it captures goes into your CRM with an owner, so renewals show up in the morning summary rather than getting forgotten.

Will it replace my office manager?

No. It covers messages after you close and overflow, screens every live visitor, and writes the CRM for them. They stay in charge.

What happens when an existing client has an emergency after hours?

Nexi knows the client, asks the key questions, flags it as urgent and alerts your on-call contact straight away, following the rules you've set for urgent callouts. It doesn't diagnose the fault or promise an arrival time.

We already use a field service system. Does this replace it?

No. Nexi handles the sales conversation before a job exists, and writes it to your CRM. Your job management system keeps running the work.

What does it cost?

There’s no set price. It depends on how many messages you get, your contract book, depots and the contact options you switch on. The Leaking Leads Check works it out in your numbers.
