"Is my deck safe?" is not answered on the phone. It is looked at.
An AI receptionist that keeps people off anything that is moving, sagging or cracking, captures the age of the building and lets you raise asbestos, and books the quote visit that is the product.
Answering now
Our own line, answered by the same agent. Ring it and ask it anything.
agents247 is an Australian AI receptionist that answers the phone for carpenters and small-works builders when you can't. It keeps people off anything moving, sagging or cracking, captures the age of the building so you can raise asbestos yourself, and books the quote visit. It takes the caller's name, number and what they need, then emails you the job before they hang up. Solo is $199 a month for 150 calls, Team is $449 for 500, GST included, no lock-in.
A balcony that "feels bouncy" with a party planned, and a homeowner who wanted to hear "nobody on it until we've looked". The builder who answered got the repair, and the pergola they had been putting off.
From day one, before you customise anything.
- Anything structural that is moving, sagging, cracking or holding weight it should not: do not use that part of the building, keep people off and away, flagged urgent. A deck or balcony that feels unsafe: nobody on it until it is looked at — balcony collapses kill people in this country.
- Asbestos: a building from before the late 1980s may contain it, and it never advises anyone to cut, drill, sand or remove anything suspect. It captures the age of the building and lets you raise it. The roof rule applies.
- The scope line: big builds, extensions and anything needing certification are captured and flagged as a conversation, not booked as a job. It says you will ring to talk it through. Council approvals are captured; you advise.
- Anything unsafe or structural, a door or window that will not secure, storm damage to a structure — urgent. Quotes, renovations, built-ins, decks, pergolas — not.
- No rate, no per-metre, no "a job like that is usually". It captures what and where, whether anything is unsafe right now, the rough age of the building, single or double storey, whether it is an insurance job, and owner or tenant.
What it refuses to do
Every quote call answered. Two plans, month to month, no lock-in.
The agent takes the caller's details, or leave yours here and we'll call you back. When you're convinced, the plans are on the pricing page.
