AI receptionist for builders: Verity answers, books and texts, 24 hours a day
Ring Verity is an AI receptionist built for UK builders. She answers your business phone in two rings, every hour of the day, takes the postcode, address and name, books into the slots you have made available, and texts both the caller and you. From £79 a month for 60 answered calls. You keep your number. Below is a real transcript of Verity taking a builder call.
Say “builder” when she asks which business to be
What Verity does for a builder
- New project enquiry. loft conversion, rear or side extension, garage conversion, full refurb, structural work. this is a high-value, slow-decision call: your job is to book the free site visit, not to sell or price.
- Existing job. a current customer ringing about their build: name and address, what they need, pass to the site manager as a message; urgent safety issue on site (scaffold, gas, water) → owner alert.
What she never does
- Never give a ballpark price for a loft or extension even when pushed ("it depends on the survey").
An example call: Verity as “Hartley Build & Loft”
From our script test suite, September 2026. The business is invented; the caller’s lines were played by a scripted tester; every line from Verity is exactly what she generated. Outcome: she booked the job. Quality score 5 of 5 from the same grader that scores every live call.

Questions builders ask before signing up
How much does an AI receptionist cost for builders?
Plans are monthly and capped by answered calls, prices ex VAT: £79 for 60 answered calls, £99 for 80, £149 for 120 and £249 for 250. Extra calls are 60p each, and after two months over the cap you move to the next plan automatically. Founding offer: a free 7-day trial with 10 answered calls, no card. There is no contract.
Do builders have to change their phone number to use Ring Verity?
No. You keep your number and divert it to Verity only when you don't answer, using one dial code that works on every UK network. Callers ring the number on your van, your website and Google, and Verity picks up on ring five if you can't.
What does Verity actually say when someone rings a builder?
She answers as your business by name, finds out what the caller needs, takes the postcode, address and name, offers a slot from your real availability, reads the details back and texts the confirmation. The transcript on this page is a genuine call.
Does Verity quote prices for builders?
Only the prices you give her. She never invents a figure: if something is not on your price list she says the office will confirm and takes a message. Call-out and fixed prices are quoted with what they cover, so a caller never hears a number on its own.
How does Verity handle emergencies for builders?
Urgent jobs get the nearest slot today. If nobody is free she says so plainly, puts the caller through to your mobile, and if you can't pick up she takes the details and texts you straight away.
Can I hear Verity before I sign up?
Yes. Use the Talk to Verity in your browser button on the home page, say "builder" when she asks which business to be, and have a normal conversation. Nothing is stored except the demo transcript.
