Project enquiries on your phone before they go to another builder
Someone planning an extension asks three builders and often goes with whoever replies first. Formcrier sends each website enquiry to your phone the moment it's sent, so that reply can be yours even when you're on site.

The big enquiries arrive at the worst time
A loft conversion or an extension comes in mid-afternoon while you're on site, then sits in the inbox until you're back.

Slow replies lose you the work
Homeowners often ask several builders and tend to pick one of the first to respond.

Small jobs and big jobs look the same
A gate that needs fixing and an extension that needs building come through the same form with the same subject line.
How builders use Formcrier
-
Every enquiry on the phone you carry
Each one arrives as a message with the name, number and project, so you can ring back over lunch.
-
Big projects to you, small jobs to the team Pro and Agency
Enquiries with words like extension or loft come to you. Repairs go to whoever books in the small jobs.
-
Plans and photos with the enquiry Pro and Agency
Let customers attach photos or a plan, and open them from the alert before you call.
-
The office sees it too
Add a Slack or Teams channel, or an email address, so whoever does your estimates knows an enquiry's come in.
Where alerts go
WhatsApp suits you if you already run your day through messages with clients and subcontractors.

Questions from builders

You can send them somewhere else. On Pro and Agency, a routing rule sends a submission according to what was entered, so small jobs can go to another person or only to email.
No. Formcrier tells you the enquiry has come in, and you reply to the customer yourself by phone or message.
Nothing. The free plan gives you 10 alerts a month, and there's no card to enter.
