Win more building work from the calls you can’t take
On site you can’t stop to answer the phone — and homeowners ringing round for an extension or renovation don’t wait. Call2SMS texts every missed caller back in seconds, captures the project, and sends you a quote-ready lead.
Every missed call is a job walking away
Building enquiries are high-value and high-competition. A homeowner planning an extension, loft conversion or renovation will ring three or four builders for quotes — and if you’re on site with the drill running and miss the call, you’re simply not on their shortlist. Voicemail rarely gets used; they move straight to the next builder.
Call2SMS keeps you in the running. The moment a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a text in your company’s name. The AI asks what the project is, the property and the postcode, then sends you the lead so you can book a site visit when you’re back in the van.
What Call2SMS captures from every missed building call
Every lead summary gives you the details you need to call back fast and win the job — and you can add your own questions during setup.

Extension, loft, renovation, new build or repair — captured up front.

A rough idea of the size or scope, so you can gauge the job before you visit.

Where the project is, so you can plan a site visit and price it properly.

Name & best number
A name and confirmed number so your callback lands warm.
What a text-back conversation looks like
Here’s how a missed call to a building becomes a captured lead — in your business name, within seconds.
A typical Missed Call Lead Recovery conversation
- Captures the project, size and postcode while you’re on the tools
- Gets you onto the homeowner’s shortlist before a rival builder calls back
- Filters the serious projects from the tyre-kickers before you drive out
The modern alternative to a building answering service
A traditional answering service puts a call centre between you and your customers, charges per call or per minute, and ties you into a contract — and they still can’t book the job for you.
Call2SMS does the job that matters: it makes sure no missed caller is ignored. Every unanswered call gets an instant, on-brand text, a real two-way SMS conversation captures the enquiry, and the lead lands on your phone — 24/7, for a fixed low monthly price, with no contract.
