The calls a builder misses, and what happens to each one.
It answers like a good offsider would, and it doesn't make promises you didn't make: only your suburbs, only your free times, and never a price outside your own price guide.
Extension and renovation enquiries
Captures what they want done, where, and when, then books a time for you to go and look.
Decks, pergolas and carports
Books the quote visit only in suburbs you cover and only when you're free.
Storm and accident damage
Anything the caller says can't wait is texted straight to you.
"How much roughly?"
It never gives a price outside your own price guide. You quote.
Repeat clients and referrals
Every call is captured with a name and suburb, so nobody falls through the cracks.
Callers who hang up
A text back within seconds, while they're still deciding who to ring.

Your scorecard: calls caught, jobs booked, and anyone still waiting on a call back.
Fair questions from builders.
Big jobs need a proper quote. Will it promise a price?
No. It never quotes outside your own price guide. For bigger work it takes the details and books a time for you to go and look.
I only take jobs in certain areas. Can it stick to that?
Yes. It only books suburbs you cover, so you're not driving across town to quote a job you'd never take.
What about storm damage calls?
Anything the caller says is urgent is texted straight to you with their number. You decide whether to go.
