The problem

Why building companies miss so many calls

An extension enquiry is worth tens of thousands and the homeowner is ringing three builders the same evening.

When the phone rings out

  • every hour you are on site with machinery running
  • evenings, when homeowners ring after work
  • weekends, when couples decide to go ahead

What they are ringing about

  • extensions and loft conversions
  • quotes for renovation work
  • when you could start on a job

What that costs a single site

£144,000

a month, on conservative assumptions

About 24 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 8 a week, and one customer is worth £4,200 to a building company. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.

What it does

Built around how a building company actually works

Answers over site noise

Takes the project type, size and timescale

Books site visits into your diary

Screens out the tyre kickers before you drive anywhere

It tells callers what it is

It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a building company that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.

Questions

What building companies ask us

Our jobs are big. Is a phone answering service really the issue?

The bigger the job the worse a missed call is. One extension is worth more than a year of this, and homeowners ring three builders in an evening.

Can it screen enquiries?

Yes. It asks your qualifying questions, budget, timescale and whether there are drawings, so you only drive out to jobs worth quoting.

Will it commit us to a start date?

Never. It books a site visit and says clearly that dates come after you have seen the job.

Hear it answer a building company call

Ring the number and ask it the awkward question your customers always ask. If you like what you hear, it will book you in there and then.
