Under 10 minutes

Enquiry Response Time

Every lead gets an immediate acknowledgement and qualification check, even outside business hours. No more lost weekend enquiries sitting in an inbox until Monday.

8 hours saved weekly

Estimator Productivity

Estimators stop wasting time on tyre-kickers and out-of-area jobs. Their quote pipeline is pre-filtered to jobs that match the business profile and margin targets.

The Challenge

Common lead qualification automation challenges facing trades & construction businesses.

Estimators spend hours quoting jobs that fall outside your service area or minimum project size, burning valuable time that could be spent on winnable work.

Weekend and after-hours enquiries go unanswered until Monday morning, by which time the homeowner has already booked a competitor who responded faster.

No consistent method to assess whether a job is worth quoting; decisions depend on who answers the phone and how busy they feel that day.

Referral partners and builders send through leads via text, email, and phone with no central tracking, so promising jobs slip through the cracks.

Implementation

How we implement lead qualification automation for your trades & construction business.

Capture Job Enquiries

Incoming leads from website forms, phone calls, and referral partners are automatically captured and normalised into a central pipeline, pulling in job type, location, and estimated scope.

✓ Tools: Make, Typeform, ServiceM8

Score by Job Fit

Each lead is scored against your ideal job criteria including project size, suburb radius, trade type required, and margin potential. Residential maintenance scores differently to commercial fitouts.

✓ Tools: Make, Google Sheets, Airtable

Route to Right Estimator

Qualified leads are automatically assigned to the appropriate estimator or project manager based on trade specialty, workload capacity, and geographic zone.

✓ Tools: Make, ServiceM8, Slack

Nurture or Decline

Low-scoring enquiries receive a polite templated response with alternative recommendations. Medium-scoring leads enter a follow-up sequence to gather missing details before reassessment.

✓ Tools: Make, Mailchimp, Google Docs
