How it works for fencing contractors
Per-metre quotes, taken on the first call.
Fencing enquiries need the same details every time, and rural and urban jobs need different questions. FirstVoice asks the right ones, so your quote is ready before you ring back.
- Asks the length, material and whether the ground slopes
- Asks whether the neighbour has agreed to share the fence, and what access is like
- Uses separate questions for rural and farm fencing, gates and pool fencing
- Books a measure-up into your calendar
- Treats a damaged pool fence as urgent, and tells the caller to keep children away from the pool until it's fixed
