AI Receptionist for Builders UK — Capture Every Enquiry While You're On Site
You are mixing concrete, managing a subcontractor, or measuring up for a quote. Your phone rings.
The extension, the loft conversion, the kitchen renovation — these are not impulsive purchases. The homeowner has been thinking about this project for weeks. They have called three builders from Google. The one who answers first gets the first visit. The one who visits first usually gets the job.
You are on site. You cannot answer.
What VoxMate does on a builder's call
VoxMate answers in your business name. Captures the project, the location, the timescale, the budget signal. Sends it to your WhatsApp before the caller has even put their phone down.
Hi, I'm looking to get a quote for a single-storey rear extension. We've got planning permission already.
That's great — having planning in place makes things much simpler. Let me get some details over to the team. Can I take your name and the address of the property?
Tom Jennings. 45 Park Road, Wolverhampton, WV2 4NP.
And roughly what size are you thinking — do you know the approximate square footage, or is it more of a general brief at this stage?
About 25 square metres. We want to open up the kitchen into the garden.
Lovely project. Any sense of timescale — when are you looking to start if everything lines up?
Ideally spring next year.
Perfect. I'll get this straight to the team and someone will be in touch to arrange a site visit.

What it costs you to miss a builder's enquiry
Extension: £25,000–£60,000. Loft conversion: £20,000–£45,000. Kitchen renovation: £8,000–£25,000.
Miss one extension enquiry per quarter. That is potentially £25,000 you never quoted for. One yes from a job like that pays VoxMate for years.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.

VoxMate answers every call that you cannot take — whether you are on site, on the phone to a supplier, or simply unavailable. Calls are answered in your business name with a natural British voice. Leads land on your WhatsApp. You review them at the end of the day and call back in priority order.
