The Problem

Gillingham builders are busy. Enquiries don't wait.

Gillingham's growth trajectory in North Dorset is creating a rising tide of domestic extension, renovation and new housing subcontract opportunities. Builders who position themselves well now — responding fast, presenting professionally — will win work as the market expands. Those who miss calls and are slow to follow up will watch those contracts go to better-organised competitors from further afield.

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.
Is it useful for builders doing subcontract work on new housing developments around Gillingham as well as direct domestic work?+
Yes. The AI handles both routes to market. For subcontract enquiries from developers, it captures company name, site location, scope of work package and decision-maker details. For direct domestic enquiries, it captures the homeowner's project brief, property address and budget — so you arrive at every conversation with the right information regardless of the enquiry type.
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.
