Booking and quoting for extension builders in the UK.
A homeowner spends a year deciding, then chooses in a fortnight. This holds the consultation, the quote and the eleven months of messages after it.

The consultation carries a price
A survey visit or a design consultation has a set price and a real slot. The side return itself arrives as an enquiry rather than a booking.

Start dates move with the approval
Approvals run late and Februarys are wet. Drag the start to the new fortnight; the address, the gang and the notes travel with it.
Learn moreThe consult is the thing you sell first.
A design consult, a site measure and a handover walkthrough carry a set price and a real slot, so the homeowner books one the evening they decide to get serious. The build itself is never bookable.

Then it sits with them for a month.
Nothing about an extension is decided the week it is quoted. You can see which version has been opened, which has been opened four times in one night, and which has not been read at all.

One address, a year of decisions.
First consult, revised drawings, the quote they accepted and everything paid against it stay on the property, so the conversation in month eleven starts where month one left off.
Booked to the spring, still worth asking.
Nobody planning an extension expects to start next week. A full diary is not this trade’s problem. A booking page that looks shut is.
The enquiry arrives with the drawings
With no slots showing, the page takes the request instead of closing the door, and the plans and the address come attached to it.
Answer with a month, not a date
Someone who has waited on an approval will wait for a builder. They would simply like to know roughly how long.
It lands in the one inbox
The request becomes a thread against that address, so picking it back up in six weeks is not an archaeology exercise.
We have drawings for a rear extension off the kitchen. Are you taking work on for next year?
One extension, three versions of it.
The rear extension as drawn, the same with the utility, or the wrap-around taking in the side return. Three ways to say yes on one document.
Priced off the new floor area
Square metres of new floor is the driver, so the figure moves with the drawings rather than being rebuilt each time the plan changes.
Finishes are options, not fresh quotes
The utility, the bifolds and the rooflight each carry their own price change on the document the client already has open.
A number set once
The quote number is fixed the moment it is issued, so their copy and yours are unmistakably the same document nine months later.
Staged payments come with Pro
Staged payment requests come with Pro: a leg at foundations, one at watertight, the balance at handover, each sent against the booking once it exists. Cash and bank transfer remain free on every plan.

When the approval lands three months late.
The fortnight held for the foundations is worth nothing where it sits. Moving it is a drag on the calendar rather than an evening rewriting.
Drag the start to the new week
The address, the scope and everything quoted stay attached to the job. Only the dates move.
The gang see it themselves
Whoever was down for those days sees the change without a round of messages going out at half six.
Free on any plan
Moving work around the calendar was never the part you pay for.
Built for builders
Built for the work that gets added to a house
Single-storey rear extensions
Priced off the new floor area, with the bifolds and the rooflight sitting as options, so the client is choosing a version rather than rejecting a figure.
Side returns
The consultation books at a set price, the quote prices the infill, and the accepted quote arrives on the calendar as a booking with the address on it.
Loft conversions with a dormer
The stair position and the ensuite are the two decisions that move the price, so both sit as options on the same document instead of three quotes.
Garage conversions
Booked off the survey visit and priced by floor area, with insulation and the new opening as options rather than a fresh document each time.
Wrap-around extensions
A long approval and a long build. The quote can expire, which is what keeps a price given in spring from being held to you at Christmas.
Open-plan knock-throughs
The steel and the making good are the whole argument. Quoted as their own lines, so the client can see what the wall is actually costing.
Orangeries and garden rooms
Small enough to sell quickly, large enough to need options. Glazing, roof and heating each carry their own price change on one quote.
Porches and small additions
The work that keeps the gang paid while the drawings sit with the council. Set price, booked online, no visit needed to give a figure.
Handover walk-rounds
A booked slot at the end of the build, with the client, the address and everything quoted along the way on the one record.
Three live sites and one set of hands.
The framer is on the second storey, the apprentice is on the deck that pays for the wait, and you are at a consult across town. One lane per person, so you can see who is where before you promise anyone a morning.
How far you would drive each morning.
A trade that visits once can cover three counties. You are on this site daily for two months, so the line matters more rather than less.
Drawn once, along the roads you use
Follow the way you actually drive rather than a circle on a map, so the coverage matches the run you already make.
Outside it, work asks first
An address past the line arrives as an enquiry instead of installing itself in your week for you to discover later.
The drive is never a charge
Coverage decides what books itself and what has to ask. It has nothing to do with the price.

Money arriving across a build.
Most of this trade is still settled by transfer, and recording one costs nothing whatsoever. Cards are the part that sits on Pro.
Cash and transfer are free
Mark it paid and the receipt sees itself out. No plan is involved in the way most of your money already arrives.
Cards come with Pro
For the client who would rather tap for the consultation than go looking for your account details.
Staged, after the booking
Pro splits a signed build into foundations, watertight and handover. It happens against a job that exists, not at a checkout.

As you grow with us you can go Pro.
Common questions.
They can. The consultation, the survey visit and the handover walk-round sit on your booking page at a set price against your genuine availability. The build itself is not bookable, which spares you a loft conversion appearing in the diary overnight.
As versions of one project rather than a single figure. The rear extension as drawn, the same with the utility, the wrap-around with the side return taken in, priced off the new floor area with finishes sitting as options on one document.
The quote carries an expiry date, so pricing agreed in March is not still being held to you in November, and the accepted quote becomes a booking you drag to whichever fortnight the approval eventually lands in.
Once the job exists, yes. Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free on any plan. Cards and staged payment requests come with Pro, and they are sent against the booking after it is signed rather than at a checkout.
No. Staff see the address, the start time and the scope for the days they are on. Prices, quotes and payments stay with the owner and anyone given the manager role.
Setting up takes an afternoon, and only the work you sell repeatedly needs configuring: the consultation, the survey, the walk-round. Live jobs go in as bookings so the messages start filing themselves.
