New quote call. Missed.
That contract is gone.

The Problem

Chard builders are busy. Enquiries don't wait.

Chard's former engineering heritage has left a town with varied building stock — from residential extensions to industrial unit refits and new-build plots on the rural-urban fringe. Enquiries come in from homeowners and business owners alike throughout the working day. When you're on site, every missed call is a quote you won't be submitting — and another local builder who answered the phone gets the work instead.

FAQ
Can it handle different project types?+
Yes. The AI is configured for the full range of builder enquiries — rear extensions, loft conversions, full renovations, new builds, barn conversions, and commercial fit-outs. It asks relevant qualifying questions for each project type so you receive useful information, not just a name and number.
Does it handle industrial unit and commercial refit enquiries in Chard?+
Yes. Commercial enquiries from Chard's industrial and business community are handled separately from domestic calls — the AI captures business name, site address, nature of the refit, budget indication and the right contact person, so you arrive prepared for any commercial quote.
How quickly can we get started?+
Most builders are live within 48 hours of signing up. We configure the AI with your business name, service area, project types and calendar availability. No hardware, no technical setup on your end.
