Up on the frame. Phone still answered.

Built for builders, from sole traders to small construction firms. Talkify answers every enquiry while you're on site, asks the qualifying questions you'd ask (budget, timeline, consent status), and texts you a summary so you ring the real jobs first.

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, JobLogic or Fergus 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.

Frequently asked.

Nine of the questions we hear most. If yours isn't here, ring our live demo agent on 03 242 1183 — 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 or Outlook, and jobs can flow into JobLogic, Fergus, Tradify, HubSpot and Calendly. 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 until 1 August 2026 (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.
