Sound familiar?

The calls you miss are the expensive ones.

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 granted

The 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 conversion

You'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

Priya and your receptionist

Sayora

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?

Caller

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.

Sayora

That's the hard part done. Roughly what size is it on the drawings?

Caller

About five metres by four. Kitchen-diner with bifolds.

Sayora

Lovely job. When are you hoping to start, and are you getting a few quotes in?

Caller

Ideally ground broken by September. And yes, honestly, you're one of three we're asking.

Sayora

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?

Caller

Priya Halliday, 14 Ferniehill Drive. Saturday works.

Sayora

You're booked for Saturday morning, Priya. Gordon will have the details waiting for him when this call ends.

What it can doWhat yours can do

Built for the way builders actually work.

  • Answers while you are on site

    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.

  • Trained on your building business

    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.

  • Separates new work from current jobs

    A new extension enquiry and a current client chasing an update get captured separately. The summary tells you who called and what they need.

  • Books the site visit live

    Connect your calendar and Sayora can offer the site-visit times you make available, then book the chosen slot during the call.

  • Screens the sales calls

    Tell Sayora which sales pitches to decline. Building enquiries, current clients and trade calls still get captured and sent to you.

Fair questions

What builders ask before they book.

Can Sayora price an extension over the phone?

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.

I'm a general builder. We do everything. Can Sayora cope with that?

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.

Most of my calls are existing clients and trades, not new enquiries. Does Sayora help there?

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.

What about calls mid-project from the current job?

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.

Do I need to change the number on the van and the boards?

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.

What does it cost a building firm?

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.
