The problem
A homeowner ready to spend {currency:30000} on an extension won't leave a voicemail
When you're operating a cement mixer, fitting steels, or up on scaffolding, you can't answer the phone. But the homeowner who's just got planning approval is calling three builders and booking whoever picks up first. By the time you call back, they've already arranged a site visit with someone else.
- 79% of homeowners looking for a builder won't leave a voicemail and will call the next one on the list
- The average builder misses 4-6 calls per week while on site
- Seasonal surges after storms and planning approvals can triple your call volume overnight
- A single missed extension enquiry can be worth £30,000+ in lost revenue

How Builders Use Jodie
Extension Quote Request
The situation: A homeowner who has just received planning approval calls to ask about building a single-storey rear extension. You are mid-pour on another job.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, asks about the project: extension size, current property type, timeline, and budget range. You get a text with the full details so you can call them back with a ballpark figure.
Mid-Job Enquiry
The situation: You are operating a concrete mixer on a noisy site when your phone rings. A potential client wants to discuss a loft conversion.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up, explains you're on site and takes their name, contact details, project description, and preferred callback time. The lead is in your inbox when you down tools.
Planning Approval Lead
The situation: A couple has just received planning permission for a garage conversion and is calling builders for quotes. Your phone rings at 6pm.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, congratulates them on the approval, and asks about the project scope, access, and when they want to start. You get a detailed summary to follow up the next morning.
After-Hours Storm Damage
The situation: A homeowner calls at 8pm after a storm has displaced roof tiles and rain is getting in. They need urgent help.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, asks about the damage, whether water is coming into the house, and captures the address. The message is marked urgent so you see it first thing and can arrange emergency cover.
