Two ways to engage

Whether you need five hours a week or a full-time role, support scales to your business — not the other way around.

Common questions before hiring a construction VA

Answered directly — no sales pitch required to get a straight answer.

How much does a construction virtual assistant cost?
It depends on scope and hours — one-time placement and managed support are priced differently, and needs range from a few hours a week to full-time. We'll give you a clear number on a discovery call, not a generic rate card.
Can a virtual assistant handle bookkeeping for my contracting business?
Yes. Our Business Operations Support group specifically includes bookkeeping, accounting, and invoicing — trained around the way construction businesses actually track job costs, not generic small-business bookkeeping.
What's the difference between hiring a VA and hiring in-house?
An in-house hire means recruiting, training, payroll, and overhead for one role. A BuildAssist virtual assistant is trained, matched, and — with Managed Support — actively overseen by us, so you get the capability without carrying the full-time cost or the hiring risk.
How quickly can a virtual assistant start?
Timelines vary by role and availability, but most placements move faster than a traditional hire since we're matching from professionals already trained on construction workflows, not starting a search from zero.
