The AI receptionist for builders and carpenters
Project enquiries come in while you're on the tools. Nimble answers, finds out what the customer wants built, where and when, and books a quote or site inspection for you.
The calls you're missing
- Renovation and extension enquiries that go cold before you call back
- Clients and suppliers ringing about a job in progress
- Enquiries for work you don't do, taking up your time
Booking types Nimble sets up for you
- Job
- Quote
- Site inspection
Rename them or add your own. Urgent situations — like a client with an issue on an active site — can go straight through to a person instead.

Questions from builders and carpenters
Can it screen out jobs I don't take on?
Yes. Tell Nimble the work you do, the areas you service and the jobs you don't accept, and it follows those rules on every call.
Can I keep my existing business number?
Yes. Keep your number and forward calls to Nimble — all of them, only after hours, or only when you don't pick up. Or use a new Nimble number if you'd rather.
Which calendars does it book into?
Outlook, or Nimble's built-in calendar if you don't use it. Google Calendar is coming soon. Your receptionist checks availability before it offers a time.
Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
Your receptionist introduces itself as your AI receptionist and keeps the conversation natural. Anyone who'd rather speak to a person can be transferred or have a callback arranged, following your rules.
