Every missed call is a job gone to a competitor. We capture it, qualify it, and get it to you within 60 seconds — so you call back first.
Built specifically for electricians, plumbers, roofers and builders — trades businesses that win work on the phone or not at all.
The problem
The average trades business misses 2–4 enquiries every week. That's not just lost calls — it's lost revenue adding up to thousands of pounds a year.
You're on a roof, under a sink, in a loft. The phone rings and rings. The customer moves on to the next number on Google.
Emergency consumer unit failure at 8pm Saturday. Your phone is off. That's a £1,500+ job that goes to whoever picks up.
Most callers don't leave a message. Those who do give you no job detail. You call back blind, they've already moved on.
How it works
We handle the entire setup. You forward your calls and we do the rest. Most trades businesses are live within 24 hours.
A job enquiry comes in. Your phone is busy or switched off. The call diverts seamlessly to your Architectus AI line.
A professional, branded greeting plays. The system captures their name, job type, postcode, and urgency — clearly and naturally.
Within 60 seconds, a structured SMS hits your phone with every detail. Caller number ready to tap and call back.
You call back informed and fast. They're still thinking about you. You quote, win, and move on.
What you receive
That SMS lands on your phone while you're still on the current job. You see the job type, the urgency, and the caller's number — ready to tap and call back.
You're not calling back blind. You're calling back informed, fast, and ready to quote. That's why you win the job instead of the next number on Google.

Common questions
My iPhone already transcribes voicemails
iPhone transcription only works if someone leaves a message. Most callers don't. Our system captures the caller's number and details before they decide to hang up — and texts you within 60 seconds while they're still thinking about you.
I can just see who called and ring them back
You can — but you're calling back blind with no idea what they need, two hours later. Our system tells you the job type, urgency and postcode before you dial. You call back fast and informed. That's the difference between winning and losing the job.
We already have someone answering calls
Does she cover Saturday evenings? Emergency electrical work doesn't keep office hours. Our system works 24/7, alongside whoever you already have. It's not a replacement — it's cover for everything that falls through the gaps.
Seems expensive just to receive contact details
One missed rewire at £2,000 pays for six months of this service. You're not paying for contact details. You're paying to stop losing jobs you're already losing every week.
I'm not interested in AI
Fair enough — forget we said AI. Think of it as an automated answerphone that captures job details and texts them to you instantly. Nothing complicated. No app to learn. You forward your calls and we do everything else.
Do I have to change my number?
No. You keep your existing number completely. You set up a simple call divert — when your phone is busy or unanswered, calls forward to us. Your van livery, website and Google listing stay unchanged.

What trades businesses say
Had a consumer unit job come in on a Saturday evening — normally that'd be gone by Monday. Got the text within a minute, called back while they were still looking. Booked it on the spot.
Setup took about 20 minutes total. They did everything — I just forwarded my calls. First week I caught three enquiries I would've completely missed. Paid for itself in the first month easily.
I was sceptical — thought my phone setup was fine. Tried it for 30 days and realised I was missing more than I thought. The text message format is exactly what you need when you're on site.
Pricing
Setup fee 75% off for early clients. When that window closes, setup runs £1,000–£1,500.
If it's not working for you, cancel anytime — no questions asked. Simple monthly rolling contract.
