Your trade

Builders, landscapers and every trade on site.

Set up with your questions, your prices and your safety rules. Plumbing, electrical and HVAC have their own pages.

Site calls and quote forms

Builders and renovators

As an AI receptionist for builders, it asks the budget, the timing and the address, then books the quote visit.
Measure-ups and photos

Landscapers

For landscapers, it asks the area, the access and the budget, then books the measure-up. Mostly photos and messages? Starter may suit.
Price by the metre

Fencers

It gives your range by the metre, asks what the old fence is made of and books the measure-up.
Slabs, driveways and paths

Concreters and pavers

It takes the size, the access and the timing, and books quote visits around your pours.
Storm and leak calls

Roofers and gutters

Storm calls arrive all at once. It answers every one and sorts urgent leaks from quote requests.
Quotes by the room

Painters

It asks how many rooms, inside or out, and when, then books the quote visit.
Decks, doors and tiling

Carpenters and tilers

It takes down the room, the size and the materials, then books the measure-up.
Tree removal and storms

Arborists and tree work

Storm jobs go first, by your rules. A branch on a power line gets one answer: stay clear and ring 000 or the emergency line.

Example call: a fence quote

7:40 on a Tuesday. The crew's on a pour.

Example business. One call while the crew is setting posts.

7:40 am
Caller
“Hi, how much for about thirty metres of Colorbond along the back? The old fence is falling down.”
What's happening
  • Answered on the first ring while the crew is on a pour.
7:40 am
The receptionist
“You’re through to Kurrajong Fencing. I’m the AI assistant. Whereabouts is the property, and what’s the old fence made of?”
7:41 am
Caller
“Blacktown. It’s that old grey sheeting. I was going to knock it out on the weekend for you.”
What's happening
  • Old sheeting is on the don’t-touch list, so the safety line comes first.
7:41 am
The receptionist
“Please leave it as it is and keep everyone clear of it. The owner checks old sheeting first. New Colorbond usually runs A$120 to A$160 a metre, so about A$3,600 to A$4,800 for thirty metres. Is that near your budget? The owner can measure up on Thursday at 4:30.”
What's happening
  • Only the range the owner approved, then the measure-up.
Result
Measure-up booked for Thursday at 4:30. Nobody takes a hammer to the old fence on Saturday.
A$120 to A$160 a metre is an example range you’d set, not a LeadGenie price. How the AI receptionist works →

What you get

Safety rules

What it will never do.

These rules are fixed, and a caller can’t talk it out of them.

Prices

Never quotes a price you haven’t approved

If a job needs a look, it books a quote visit instead.
Start dates

Never promises a start date it can’t see

It only offers dates that are free in your calendar. Start dates are yours, at the quote.
Safety

Never gives safety advice

No structural, asbestos, electrical or gas advice. On safety it says only this: stay clear and ring 000 or the emergency line. Then it alerts you.
Digging

Never says it’s safe to dig

It points callers to Before You Dig Australia’s free service.
Fixed rules, not settings. You approve the wording. What it can get wrong, in our words →

Questions

What trades ask before they start.

It speaks naturally, in your business’s name, and says it’s an AI assistant in its first sentence. You test it before it takes a real call. Callers mind voicemail far more.

No. It books quote visits only into the times you set aside. It gives only the ranges you approve and never promises a start date. Every call is recorded and written up, so you can check what was said.

Growth is A$499 a month plus a one-time A$1,999 set-up fee, ex GST. Calls are A$0.03 a minute and texts A$0.11 sent and A$0.02 received, billed by use. Most businesses spend about A$30 to A$70 a month on those. Prices are locked in for your first 12 months.

No. It’s month to month, with no lock-in contract and no exit fee. Give 30 days’ notice to cancel. The set-up fee isn’t refundable, except where the law requires it or for a billing error.

Yes. Your number stays on the ute and your Google listing. Divert calls to the AI when you choose, or use the Australian mobile number we include. How call forwarding works →

An answering service costs about A$2.45 to A$3.99 a call. Growth is A$499 a month plus calls and texts billed by use, and it books the quote visit while the caller is on the line.
