Quotes chased. Leads qualified.
Saws still running.

A building enquiry that hits voicemail rings the next builder on Google. Talkify keeps them on the line, gets the details, and gives you everything you need to win the job back at smoko.

Lead qualification.

New build or reno, rough budget, timeline, consent and plans status, how they found you. Asked naturally, answered honestly, texted to you in a tidy summary so you know which calls to return first.

Urgent calls escalated.

Active leak on a finished job, storm damage, a failed inspection, a subbie locked out of site. Anything urgent triggers an SMS to your mobile in seconds, with address and callback number.

Site visits booked.

Quote visits and site checks dropped into Google Calendar, Outlook or Calendly at your next free slot.

Subbies & suppliers routed.

Merchant delivery running late? Subbie after the site address? Routed or answered without interrupting your day.

Knows your patch.

Working Canterbury only? It politely declines the Auckland caller and saves you both the awkward phone call.

One day, three very different calls.

How the agent runs the phone for a small building firm in Tauranga.

Caller · 8:03amWe're thinking about a kitchen and bathroom reno, maybe early next year.
TalkifyGreat project. Have you got plans drawn up yet, and do you have a rough budget range in mind? That helps Dave give you useful numbers when he calls back.
Caller · 12:47pmYou guys built our deck last summer. Water's coming through the laundry ceiling right now.
TalkifyThat's urgent, I'm texting Dave now with your address and number. Turn off the water at the mains if you can reach it. He'll ring you straight back.
Caller · 5:21pmIt's Placemakers, the frame timber for Matua Rd is on the truck for 7am tomorrow.
TalkifyNoted, I've logged the 7am delivery for Matua Rd and flagged it on tomorrow's job notes so the crew knows it's coming.

Quotes and site visits, already in your system.

A builder loses more to double entry than to missed calls. The agent qualifies the enquiry, gets the site and the scope, and writes it into the job management or the CRM you already keep. The job systems below are early access, set up with you.

01 Fergus The enquiry written in with the scope, the site and the call notes, and the quote visit booked into the Fergus diary itself once you switch that on. Books visits · early access→ 02 Simpro For the commercial work: the contact recognised, the lead written in against its customer and site, quote requests raised, and the site visit scheduled against someone who is free. Books visits · early access→ 03 iTrade The job lodged in iTrade off the back of the call with the caller's own description of the work, then a visit requested rather than a time promised. Lodges jobs · early access→
04 Tradify Enquiries land in your Tradify Enquiries inbox with the name, the number and the scope, ready to turn into a quote. Enquiries in · early access
05 HubSpot Known callers recognised by number, new ones created, and every call, summary and transcript logged onto the timeline so a quote chase never starts from nothing. Contacts and calls→ 06 Trello Each new job enquiry arrives on the board as a card with the caller, the summary and the transcript, ready to move along the pipeline. Leads to a board→

Broadcast fits most growing NZ businesses. One agent covers one number and three callers at once.

Includes 250 minutes a month, then 10c a minute (20c after your first 3 months). The first 20 texts a month are free, then 10c each.

Adding a second agent? Every agent after the first is 20% off, so $103.20 a month each.

Frequently asked.

Nine of the questions we hear most. If yours isn't here, ring our live demo agent on 03 242 1262, it'll either answer or queue a callback from a human.

Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
Most don't pick it. Talkify sounds natural, with a Kiwi accent option, and answers as your building company. It takes the details a good office manager would: job type, address, budget signals, timeline. You get the summary by text instead of a voicemail you'll hear at 7pm.
Can it tell a serious enquiry from a tyre-kicker?
Yes. You set the qualifying questions: renovation or new build, rough budget, timeline, whether plans and consent are sorted. The agent asks them naturally on the call and includes the answers in your summary, so you ring the $200k reno first and the "just wondering" caller when you have a minute.
What about urgent calls, like a leak on a job we just finished?
Urgent language gets escalated. Active leaks, storm damage, a failed inspection, a subbie stuck on site, anything you define as urgent triggers an SMS to your mobile within seconds, with the address and callback number. Everything else waits politely in your booking list.
Does it work with the software we already use?
Booked site visits and quote appointments land in Google Calendar, Outlook or Calendly, and the job details flow into HubSpot or GoHighLevel. Anything else can be wired up through our REST API, webhooks or Zapier. The caller picks a time, you find out by text, no double entry.
We're a small crew. Is it worth it at our size?
Smaller crews benefit most, because nobody is in the office. A business agent is $129/month at the founding rate for your first 3 months, then $199, with no setup fee and no lock-in. One saved enquiry on a deck or bathroom job pays for years of the subscription.
How fast can we be live?
Same day. You forward your existing number to your Talkify number (no porting, no hardware), tell the agent about your business in the dashboard, and it starts answering. You can tweak its wording any time from your phone.
Which job management and CRM systems does it write into?
Fergus, Simpro, iTrade and Tradify on the job management side, all four in early access and set up with you: Fergus and Simpro write the lead in and book the quote visit once enabled, iTrade lodges the job and requests a visit, Tradify takes the enquiry into your inbox. Beyond that it books Google Calendar, Outlook and Calendly, and files callers into HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive, Trello and Xero.
