For custom home builders
The best AI receptionist
for custom home builders.
Buyers calling about a £500k+ build won't wait for a callback.
A Saturday morning, told straight
A buyer with £1.2m to spend is calling about your portfolio. They won't wait.
A family has just sold their starter home for £900k and added some savings. They have £1.2m to spend on a custom build on land they already own. They've found three custom builders whose portfolios they admire. You're one.
They call your office on a Tuesday afternoon. You're at a job site walking the framing crew through a change order. Your wife (who answers your office line on Tuesdays) is at a yoga class. Voicemail. The other two builders pick up. They book consultations within the hour.
By Friday the family has signed a contract with the builder who answered first. That was a £1m+ project that came pre-warmed with a real budget and an obvious buyer.
Foan picks up in two seconds. Sounds like a polished assistant. Asks the right opening questions: do you have land already, what's your style direction (modern, traditional, farmhouse), rough budget bracket, when do you want to break ground. Books a discovery meeting on your calendar.
Custom home buyers are a small, valuable pool. Each one is years of work and serious revenue. Missing one call can mean missing a year's worth of pipeline.
Same pattern works for high-end custom builds, knock-down rebuilds, architect-led projects, and luxury vacation homes.
