AI Receptionist · Chard Surveyors

Rural Somerset property. Agricultural buildings. Older housing stock.
Instruction calls answered while you're on-site.

Chard and the surrounding South Somerset countryside see steady demand for building surveys on older residential stock and agricultural buildings, with buyers from Taunton, Yeovil, and further afield purchasing rural properties that require thorough structural inspection. Mobile signal can be patchy across the rural patches you cover, and instruction calls arriving during a survey can go straight to voicemail. ForgeMason captures every one, with full instruction details and callback numbers, ready for when you're back in range.

The Problem

Rural surveys and patchy signal mean instruction calls routinely go unanswered

A structural survey on a farmhouse outside Chard or an agricultural building near Ilminster can take a full day, and mobile reception in these rural areas is unreliable. Buyers or solicitors who can't reach you during that window don't wait — they search online and instruct the next available surveyor. ForgeMason diverts to a dedicated number that always connects, capturing every instruction regardless of where you are or what signal you have.

FAQ
Can it handle instructions from mortgage lenders, agents and direct clients?+
Yes. ForgeMason identifies the caller type — lender panel, estate agent, or direct client — and captures the relevant instruction details for each. Lender panel instructions include the lender name, borrower reference, and property address. Agent referrals include the branch and negotiator name. Direct client instructions capture buyer details and property specifics. All are delivered to you in a structured format ready to action.
We cover a lot of rural properties where mobile signal is poor — does ForgeMason work as a divert number?+
Yes. ForgeMason works as a call divert — when your phone is unavailable, unanswered, or switched off, calls route to ForgeMason automatically. It captures the full instruction and sends you a notification as soon as you're back in signal. No calls are lost, and callers receive a professional response regardless of your location.
How quickly can we get started?+
Most surveying practices are live within 2–3 working days. We configure the AI with your survey types, fee structure, and geographic coverage area, then run a test call before going live. No hardware required.
