Construction virtual assistants contractors actually keep.
Venture Staff places vetted, English-fluent virtual assistants and office admins from Argentina and Chile for construction and trades companies — typically $8–15/hr, in your time zone. You meet finalists only. Placement is guaranteed.
This is office help, not jobsite labor. If you need temp carpenters, that is a different search — and a different company.
Built for
- Roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, exteriors, remodelers, and general contractors
- Owners drowning in phones, follow-ups, and paperwork while crews are in the field
- Teams that need reliable office capacity without a full U.S. office salary
Not built for
- Placing carpenters, roofers, or other jobsite labor
- Temp field staffing or “bodies on the job”
- Employer-of-record or payroll-as-a-product setups

Scheduling & dispatch
Dispatch is where growing trades companies leak time. We place vetted nearshore schedulers who coordinate crews, appointments, and updates — typically $8–15/hr.
Role details →Estimating support
Estimate backlog is a growth tax. We staff estimating support and quote follow-up so opportunities don't expire while you're on a job.
Role details →Phones and customer service
Missed calls are the most expensive silence in a trades business. We place English-fluent nearshore phone and customer-service support that works your hours.
Role details →Invoicing and collections
Cash flow suffers when collections are an afterthought. We staff light bookkeeping support for invoicing and payment follow-up.

Construction virtual assistant questions
What is a construction virtual assistant?
A remote office professional who handles contractor back-office work — phones, scheduling, estimating support, customer follow-up, invoicing, and project admin — while your crews stay on the tools.
Is this the same as a construction staffing agency for field labor?
No. We place office and virtual assistant talent for contractors. We do not place temp carpenters or jobsite craft labor.
Where are the assistants based?
We focus on Argentina and Chile: strong education systems, real English fluency in our screening, and workdays that overlap U.S. hours.
How much does it cost?
Typical placements land around $8–15 per hour for the team member, far below a full U.S. office hire — without the résumé pile. You interview finalists; we source and screen.
Do you employ them for me?
No. We are a recruiting partner. You hire. We are not your employer of record.
The most educated talent pool in South America — in your time zone.
We focus on two countries for a reason: the quality is exceptional and the overlap with your workday is real.
The most educated talent in South America
Argentina and Chile lead the region in higher education. A completed university degree there reflects real discipline and sacrifice — and it shows up in the work.
Genuine English proficiency
We weight spoken and written English heavily in screening, so client-facing and phone roles are handled with confidence.
Your time zone, not the other side of the world
Most of Argentina and Chile sit within 0–3 hours of U.S. time zones. Your assistant works while you work — no overnight handoffs.
Motivated, career-minded professionals
These are people who want a stable, long-term role with a U.S. company that treats them as a partner — not a faceless call center.

Estimate for illustration only — not a quote. Actual pay depends on the role, seniority, and hours. We share your exact numbers on the call.
Why your hire will actually be good
Curation is the whole point. We filter hard so you don't have to — and it's why placements tend to stick.
Two-minute video screen
Every applicant records a short video before we ever review them. It filters out low effort instantly.
English, weighted heavily
Clear communication is one of the strongest predictors of a hire that lasts.
Humble, hungry, hard-working
We look for specifics over bragging, curiosity over coasting, and follow-through over talk.
Scored, not guessed
Every finalist is rated on a consistent scorecard so quality is repeatable, not luck.
Only finalists who clear the bar reach you.
If a hire doesn’t work out, we replace them — free.
Every placement is covered by a replacement guarantee. Members get an extended six-month window and half-price future hires.
