What Gala does
- Bid request intake: Project type, address, square footage, scope (foundation, framing, finishes), timeline, and budget range. Your estimator walks into the walkthrough fully prepared.
- GC-sub coordination: Subcontractor calls for change orders, schedule moves, or material questions get captured and routed to the right superintendent. No interruption on the active site.
- Permit & inspection callbacks: City offices call between 8-4? Gala takes the message with permit number, inspector name, and required action. Your office staff handles follow-up at end of day.
- Change-order triage: Owner calling about a scope addition? Gala captures the requested change, the impact estimate (if you have a rate card), and books a follow-up with the PM.
- Tire-kicker filtering: Cold inquiries get a service description and a callback offer, only qualified bids get booked into your estimator's calendar. Your PMs stop wasting time.
- Multilingual: Detects the caller's language on the first sentence. Essential for Quebec projects coordinating with francophone trades and anglophone owners. Works best in French and English.
One number, two languages, no surcharge
Gala answers in Québécois French or in English depending on who is calling, with no keypad menu and no transfer. Most providers in this market are built for English and Spanish, and several bill a second language as a monthly add-on.
Your data stays in Canada
The moment a caller gives a name, an address, or a payment detail, you are handling personal information, so ask any vendor where the recordings live. Here, data is stored in Canada, on a Québec-based application server, voice processing runs under zero data retention, and your data is never sold or used to train third-party models.
What it costs
A flat monthly rate in Canadian dollars with no setup fee and no contract, bilingual included. Plans: Essential $129/mo (250 minutes), Advanced $249/mo (500 minutes), Enterprise $439/mo (1,000 minutes). See every plan.
Frequently asked questions
- Can Gala handle both commercial bids and residential renovation calls?
- Yes, with separate intake flows. Commercial bids capture COI requirements, prevailing wage flags, and union status. Residential captures scope, finishes, and timeline. Each routes to the right estimator.
- Does Gala integrate with Asana or other construction PM software?
- Not yet as a native integration. Asana, Monday, ClickUp, Procore, and Buildertrend can be connected as a custom integration during setup, so bid details and follow-up tasks land in your project board.
- Can Gala answer RBQ license verification questions?
- Yes. Gala provides your RBQ number, license category, and validity dates from a static FAQ you control. Verification questions get a clean, accurate answer without involving your office.
- Can Gala handle subcontractor calls from active job sites?
- Yes. When a sub identifies by name and project, a dedicated flow triggers. Change orders, schedule conflicts, and material delays are logged and routed to the right superintendent.
