Custom business systems for builders
Building work is won or lost on the estimate. Extensions sit behind a queue of quotes, and the client usually goes with the builder who prices first and turns up when they said they would.
Your week
The estimate that was second by two days
A couple you met on a Tuesday ring back the following Monday: they have gone with another builder. You spent Sunday pricing their extension carefully and sent the estimate Tuesday night. The other builder sent his on Friday evening, at the same money. Nothing about your work was wrong. The quote was just second, and the couple had a completion date to hit.
Who we would contact for you
The people we would ring on your behalf
We build this list from your area and the work you want, inside a radius you set. You approve every batch before anything goes out.
Local architects
The practices within an hour of you who design extensions, loft conversions and knock-throughs but do not build them. Their clients ask for a builder's name.
Homeowners with approved planning
Found from planning applications in your area: extensions, loft conversions, rear additions. They have permission and no builder yet.
Property developers
Small developers with plots and refurbishments, who need a builder who prices fast and starts when they said.
Estate agents
Agents whose vendors need work done before a sale: refurbishments, extensions finished, the jobs that sell a house.
What the outreach would say
An example of what goes out
First message, sent under your name
"Hi [name], I run a building firm just outside [town], extensions and refurbishments mostly. I noticed [address] has planning through for a side extension. If the client hasn't chosen a builder yet, I would happily price it. I can give a full estimate within a week of walking the job."
Nothing goes out without you. You see the list, the wording and the replies, and the conversation stays yours.
Your maths
One sentence, in your numbers
One extension a year at typical extension money covers the build several times over. The yearly fee is less than the margin on one small job.
What it looks like in the system
Your outreach call list
The list starts with the businesses nearest your base, and every call is logged with an outcome so nothing gets lost and nobody gets called twice by mistake.

Where work gets lost
The four ways this trade leaks money
Estimates written up in the evenings, and the extension goes to whoever priced first.
Site visits to quote jobs you never win, eating the week.
Snagging lists and site progress tracked in your head, so clients ring for updates you could have sent.
Stage payments chased late, which is your own money sitting in someone else's account.
How the system brings in more work
Growth, first
Built around who this trade actually sells to.
- Automated outreach to homeowners planning extensions and loft conversions in your area.
- A cold call list of local architects, developers and estate agents, closest first, with every outcome recorded.
- Fast estimating from your own rates, so quotes go out days earlier.
- Automatic follow-up on quotes that go quiet, without you chasing.
