FOR BUILDERS & RENOVATION TEAMS
Understand the build.
Before the first visit.
An extension enquiry and a one-room repair need different conversations. Give customers a clear place to explain the work, the planning stage and the property before you arrange the next step.
Your branding. Your questions. Photos and QR sharing included.
FICTIONAL BUSINESS BRIEF
Kitchen extension
- Work requested
- A fictional single-storey rear extension to create a larger kitchen and dining area.
- Area and timing
- Example Town · Planning ahead
- Photo context
- Rear of property, garden and side access
THE FIRST CONVERSATION
A better brief.
Not a promise of more leads.
“Can you price an extension?” is a starting point, not a project scope. A builder may still need to establish whether the customer is exploring ideas, has drawings, understands the access constraints or wants a renovation rather than a new addition. A long message thread can mix those details across several conversations.
Separate different kinds of work
Ask about an extension, renovation, conversion or repair first. Follow-up questions can then reflect the type of building work, rather than treating every project as identical.
See how far the project has progressed
An idea, a measured drawing and an approved plan are different starting points. Record the customer’s stated stage without implying that a form checks planning or building-regulation compliance.
Prepare a more useful first conversation
Bring the broad area, intended use, approximate scope and visible site photos into one brief. You can decide what further information or site assessment is needed.
QUESTIONS WITH A PURPOSE
Ask for what helps you decide.
These are starting prompts for your trade’s enquiry page, not a compulsory questionnaire. We agree the final questions around the work you accept and the details you need before responding. All answers below are fictional.
What are you hoping to build or change?
A single-storey kitchen extension
Clarifies the intended use, not just a generic “building work” category.
Which stage have you reached?
Initial drawings, advice still needed
Helps distinguish early discussion from a project with a defined scope.
What approximate size or rooms are involved?
A rear extension and alterations to the kitchen
Gives the first conversation some scale without asking customers to calculate a quotation.
What is access like?
Side gate; occupied family home
Brings practical constraints into view before a visit.
Do you have photos or drawings to discuss?
Rear elevation and garden photos
Shows what information is available; formal document handling can be agreed separately.
Ask for an overall view of the affected part of the property, the proposed work area and access. Customers should avoid including people, number plates or private documents. A photo is context, not a substitute for a survey or professional assessment.
SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN CONTEXT
Same first message.
A more useful starting point.
Switch between two fictional examples. This illustrates how a tailored route can organise the information; it is not evidence of a customer result or a guaranteed time saving.

FROM CARD TO CONVERSATION
Your next enquiry can
start with a scan.
A card handed over after a site conversation can lead to the same project questions, rather than leaving the customer to remember what information you asked for.
Your finished EnquiryFit page includes a static QR code for print and a sharing image for text or WhatsApp. Keep a clickable link alongside the image for customers on the same phone. There is no separate QR subscription or scan tracking.
The example code here opens a fictional demo. Do not print a demonstration code for customer use. The final live-page code is prepared after setup, and the page address must stay available.

One focused page.
An agreed way to use it.
We start with the kinds of building projects you want to discuss. The page can distinguish planning stages and ask for a broad scope before requesting contact details. We agree the final questions, notification destination and customer confirmation with you. The live implementation is tested before it is used with customers; a demonstration never confirms planning status, cost or availability.
Use the page from your existing website, social profile, direct replies or printed QR code. Hosting on an EnquiryFit address is included in the current offer. Your own domain or third-party hosting can have separate provider charges, and any additional work is agreed before it is carried out.
EnquiryFit does not sell shared leads or guarantee new traffic, quotations, bookings or revenue. It gives people who already find your business a clearer way to explain their project. You review the enquiry and choose the next step.
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before you put it to work.
Can the page separate extensions from smaller repairs?
Yes. The opening choices and subsequent prompts can be tailored to your agreed services. Your business still reviews the enquiry and decides whether to discuss it.
Does an enquiry replace a site visit or drawings?
No. It gathers a useful starting brief. Site conditions, drawings, permissions, specification and price still need the appropriate professional review.
Can it work before a customer has a firm budget?
Yes. “Advice needed” or “not decided” can be available. Indicative budget information need not become a barrier to an early conversation.
