Custom Home Builders + ServiceM8
The AI receptionist for custom home builders that writes straight into ServiceM8.
A serious buyer wants to talk now. We give them someone to talk to.
How it works
Foan plugs into ServiceM8 so every call becomes structured data in the system you already use. No re-typing, no copy-paste, no "I'll add it later."
Why custom home builders miss calls.
Buyers calling about a £500k+ build won't wait for a callback.
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.
What you get on day one.
-
Every call answered in two seconds. No queue, no missed-call voicemails, no "we'll get back to you tomorrow".
-
Calls flow into ServiceM8 automatically. No copy-paste from notepad. Whatever ServiceM8 expects, Foan writes.
-
UK phone number included. Take a new line or forward your existing business number. Either way, Foan picks up.
-
Text or WhatsApp the second the call ends. You're on a job, you don't pick up — Foan does the work and tells you what was said.
Ready in 10 minutes.
Plans from £499/mo. Cancel any time. Number forwarding works on the existing line you already pay for.
Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for custom home builders using ServiceM8?
Yes. Buyers calling about a £500k+ build won't wait for a callback. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a custom home builder would ask, and writes the outcome into your ServiceM8 automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + ServiceM8 compare to hiring a receptionist?
A part-time receptionist costs around £1,800/mo and only covers business hours. Foan picks up 24/7 in two seconds, never misses a call during peak, and starts at £499/mo. Everything ends up in ServiceM8 the same way a human assistant would log it — except instantly and without typos.
What if a caller asks a question Foan doesn't know the answer to?
Foan is configured with your business hours, services, prices and FAQs the moment it's set up — we scan your website automatically. For anything genuinely unknown, the agent admits it doesn't know, takes the caller's contact details, and pings you so you can ring back. Better than voicemail, every time.
How quickly can I get this live with ServiceM8?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect ServiceM8 via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
