0485 000 166It’s set up as Mario’s Plumbing, a made-up plumber. Yours answers as your business, with your jobs and your prices.
See what your customer gets
Someone wants the old cracked driveway ripped out and redone in exposed aggregate. Someone else needs a slab for a new shed. They ring while the agitator’s backing in and you’ve got a screed in your hands.
If it rings out, they ring the next concreter on Google, and that one gets the site visit.
The assistant answers, asks what they want poured, roughly how big and where, and books the site visit.
Put in your own numbers. It works out what missed calls are worth to you a month and a year.
All three come in Core. Same assistant, same knowledge of your business, whether they ring, miss you or text.
It picks up when you can’t, as your assistant, and gets the job details.
Emergencies come to you. The rest get booked for the morning.
Only at times you’re free, with a confirmation and a reminder.
The same assistant answers texts and the chat on your website.
Two follow-ups if they go quiet, then it stops.
Happy customers get your review link after the job.
Concreting doesn’t come with many emergencies, so nothing here wakes you up. It asks what they want poured, then books the site visit.
“Is it a driveway, a slab, a path or patio, or something else?”
You get the details by text, and the visit lands in your diary.
It answers from what you’ve told us: your services, your area, your prices. If it doesn’t know, it says so and takes their details.
When can I drive on it?
It gives your usual answer, word for word from what you gave us.
Do I need council approval for the crossover?
It tells them what you’ve told us to say, and books a time to look.
Can you take the old driveway out too?
It checks your services. If you do removals, it says so and books the site visit.
How much per square metre?
It gives your rates if you’ve set them, or books a site visit so you can measure up and quote.
Examples. Yours use your own prices, services and suburbs.
Texts come from your business name, in plain words. No jokes, no robot voice. The emergency comes to you.

Sort of. An answering service takes a message for you to deal with later. Ours answers as your assistant, gets the job details, books the routine work and texts you the urgent ones.
Only if you want it to. If you give us your rates per square metre, it gives those. If you’d rather see the site first, it books a visit and tells them the price comes after.
