Sound familiar?
One working day. Three calls worth catching before voicemail.
Beam day. Three of you guiding a steel into position, nobody's letting go to answer a phone. The caller has planning permission for an extension and a shortlist of three builders.
An average 20m² single-storey extension is around £48,000. The missed number gives you no drawings, planning status or timescale to judge.
Planning grantedThe grinder's going and your ears are full of it. By the time you check the phone there are two missed numbers: a loft conversion enquiry and your kitchen fitter about Monday.
Neither left a voicemail. One was a loft conversion enquiry, work that typically runs from £27,500 to £75,000.
Loft conversionYou're finally home. The phone goes: an unknown number, probably a homeowner who's just got their drawings back and is ringing builders after work.
You are left with an unknown number, no scope and no idea whether it was a current client or a new project.

Transcript
Hi, you've reached Gordon's building business. I'm Sayora, the AI receptionist. Gordon's on site with his hands full just now, but I can take everything down. What are you planning?
We're looking at a rear extension, single storey, to open up the kitchen. We've got architect drawings and planning came through last month.
That's the hard part done. Roughly what size is it on the drawings?
About five metres by four. Kitchen-diner with bifolds.
Lovely job. When are you hoping to start, and are you getting a few quotes in?
Ideally ground broken by September. And yes, honestly, you're one of three we're asking.
As it should be. Gordon prices from the drawings and a site visit; he keeps Saturday mornings for those. Can I take your name and address, and book you in for this Saturday?
Priya Halliday, 14 Ferniehill Drive. Saturday works.
You're booked for Saturday morning, Priya. Gordon will have the details waiting for him when this call ends.
On your phone, before you down tools
Sayora turns a building enquiry into the details you need before you decide whether it fits your work, your patch and your diary.
Sayora captures. You decide. Sayora records what the caller reports and follows the instructions you give it. You decide whether the project is feasible, what work is needed and what to quote.
Summary
Rear extension with drawings 14 Ferniehill Drive. Single-storey kitchen-diner, roughly 5m by 4m. Architect drawings ready and planning granted. Wants to start in September.What it can doWhat yours can do
Forward calls to Sayora while you are on the tools, driving or finished for the day. Each caller can explain what they need without waiting for you to step away.
Sayora uses the services, areas and answers you give it. It can ask what they are planning, whether they have drawings and when they want to start.
A new extension enquiry and a current client chasing an update get captured separately. The summary tells you who called and what they need.
Connect your calendar and Sayora can offer the site-visit times you make available, then book the chosen slot during the call.
Tell Sayora which sales pitches to decline. Building enquiries, current clients and trade calls still get captured and sent to you.
Early access
Unlimited minutes and cancel anytime. The full receptionist for one flat monthly price.
Unlimited minutes. Cancel anytime. Keep your existing number.
Fair questions
Only if you give it a fixed price to share. If you price from drawings and a site visit, Sayora explains that, asks whether the caller has drawings and planning permission, then books the visit times you make available.
You tell Sayora what you take on, what you do not and the areas you cover. It follows those instructions on each call, captures the project and lets the caller know when something falls outside them.
Yes. A client chasing a start date, a trade confirming Thursday or a merchant calling about a delivery can all leave the details with Sayora. Each call gets its own summary, so you can see who needs a reply and why.
Sayora can recognise a returning number and use the caller information already held. If the caller says it is urgent, that is flagged in the summary. If they ask for a lunchtime callback, that is captured too.
No. Your number stays on the van, the site boards and Checkatrade. You get a dedicated UK number for Sayora and forward calls whenever you can't pick up: on the tools, in a loft, or after hours. Forwarding is yours to switch on and off.
It is £49 a month on early access, with unlimited minutes and everything included. There is no contract, and you can cancel anytime. You can try a receptionist built from your website before you claim it.
