From First Call to Qualified Lead

Dan handles the complete front-end conversation — so your estimators and supervisors only deal with qualified, documented enquiries.

Client Calls or Clicks

A prospect visits your website and clicks the voice widget — or calls after hours, on a weekend, or while your team is on-site. Dan answers immediately, introduces himself professionally, and starts the intake conversation.

Dan Qualifies the Enquiry

Dan collects the full project scope: type of work, location, timeline, budget, and contact details. For subcontractors and suppliers, he captures the relevant coordination details and flags urgency where needed.

Routes to the Right Person

Dan delivers a structured brief directly to your estimator, project manager, or site supervisor — including all captured details and the appropriate urgency level. Your team arrives prepared, and no lead falls through the cracks.

Every Front-Office Task, Automated

From the first quote call to subcontractor scheduling — Dan handles the conversations so your team can focus on building.

Quotes

Project Quote Capture

Dan collects the full scope — project type, site address, size, timeline, and budget range. Every quote enquiry is logged and forwarded to your estimator with structured data, so nothing gets lost on a napkin or voicemail.

Inspections

Site Inspection Scheduling

Council inspectors, private certifiers, clients wanting walkthroughs — Dan books them into your site calendar automatically, confirms the time, and sends reminders so nobody shows up when the site is locked.

Materials

Material Ordering & Supply

Suppliers confirming deliveries, clients asking about product selections, tradespeople checking material specs — Dan captures and routes all supply chain communications so nothing delays the build.

Compliance

Compliance Documentation

Safe Work Method Statements, building permits, certifier paperwork — Dan handles document request enquiries, explains what's needed at each stage, and routes requests to the right person without compliance bottlenecks.

Scheduling

Project Timeline Queries

Clients want to know when the slab goes down, when frames go up, when handover happens. Dan gives accurate timeline information based on your project schedule — without pulling the site supervisor off the job.

Callouts

Emergency Callouts

Urgent site issues, unexpected defects, structural concerns — Dan triages the situation, captures all details, flags urgency appropriately, and routes directly to the supervisor or on-call contact immediately.

See Dan in Action

Five scenarios from real construction and building enquiries — handled professionally, captured completely, automatically.

📅 Inspections

Site Inspection Booking

A private certifier calls to schedule a frame inspection. The site supervisor is on the roof.

Certifier
Hi, this is Allan from AllCheck Certifiers calling to book the frame inspection for Lot 7, Marsden Park.
Dan
Hi Allan — thanks for calling. Lot 7 Marsden Park. What date and time are you looking at for the frame inspection?
Certifier
Thursday the 13th, morning session, say 9am if that works.
Dan
Thursday 13th at 9am — I'll add that to the site calendar and let the supervisor know. Can I confirm a contact number in case anything changes on the day?
Inspection booked — certifier details, site, date and time logged + supervisor notified
🛠️ Subcontractors

Subcontractor Access Enquiry

The plumbing sub calls to confirm access for the rough-in — but the supervisor's phone is going to voicemail.

Plumber
Yeah hi, it's Mick from Crest Plumbing. We're supposed to be doing the rough-in at the Kellyville job Tuesday. Just need to know what time the gate opens and if we need a site induction.
Dan
Hi Mick — Kellyville, rough-in, Tuesday. I'll confirm the gate access time and induction requirements with the supervisor and have someone get back to you before close of business today. What's the best number to reach you?
Plumber
0412 550 338. And if we need to bring our Safe Work docs, let me know early so I can get them together.
Dan
Noted — 0412 550 338. I'll make sure the SWMS requirement is flagged in the message to the supervisor. You'll hear back before 5pm today.

📦 Materials

Materials Delivery Coordination

A supplier calls to confirm a delivery window that no one on site can take right now.

Supplier
Hi, calling from Boral. We've got a delivery of 200 metres of framing timber for the Rouse Hill job scheduled for Wednesday morning. Confirming if site access is good.
Dan
Thanks for calling — Rouse Hill, 200 metres framing timber, Wednesday morning. Site access needs to be confirmed with the supervisor. Can I get your reference number and a contact name so I can have that confirmed back to you today?
Supplier
Reference is BL-447219, contact is Dave at Boral dispatch, 02 8855 2200.
Dan
Got it. BL-447219, Dave at Boral, 02 8855 2200. I'll pass this to the site supervisor now and have someone confirm Wednesday's access window before end of day.
Delivery detail logged — supplier, reference, contact, site, timing sent to site supervisor immediately
📋 Compliance

Compliance Document Request

A client asks about the building permit status and what documentation they'll receive at handover.

Client
I'm just wondering where we're at with the building permit. We haven't had an update and we're supposed to go to slab next week.
Dan
Completely understandable to want that confirmed before slab day — especially with the timeline tight. I'll get a status update from the project manager and have them contact you directly. Can I confirm the project address and your name?
Client
Sarah Lawson, 22 Ironbark Close, The Ponds. Also, can you tell me what compliance documents we get at handover?
Dan
Hi Sarah — at handover you'll typically receive the occupation certificate, final building certificate, BASIX certificate, and all relevant product warranties. I'll include your handover documentation query in the message to the project manager so they can walk you through everything specific to your build.
Client concern logged — permit status query + handover documentation question routed to project manager

Results That Speak for Themselves

★★★★★

"We were missing calls constantly while the crew was on-site. Within two weeks of adding the widget, we had seven new quote requests come through — four of which converted to signed contracts. The estimator said the briefs were better than what he usually gets from a 10-minute phone call."

"The amount of time my site supervisor was spending on the phone coordinating subcontractors and suppliers was killing productivity. Dan handles all of that coordination now. Mick just gets a clear summary each morning. It's made a real difference to how the site runs."

"I was sceptical at first — thought clients would want to talk to a human. But the feedback has been the opposite. They love that someone answers immediately, even at 9pm on a Sunday. We captured a $340K renovation job that came in on a Saturday night. That paid for three years of the service."
