Long projects.
Short client patience.

Renovation projects have longer sales cycles, more touchpoints, and higher stakes than almost any other service business. Leads go cold between the enquiry and the estimate. Clients go anxious between milestones. Referrals happen — but not because you asked. We automate every communication gap so your clients feel informed, your pipeline stays full, and your reputation compounds.

Where Renovation Businesses Lose Revenue

Not on the tools —
in the gaps between them.

Without Automation
With FunnelXperts
Lead enquires about a kitchen reno. Responds 2 days later. They've already had 3 in-home visits from competitors.
Instant SMS within 60 seconds confirms receipt, sets expectations for next steps, and asks a qualification question. You're first and most professional.
Estimate sent. Heard nothing. You call once, leave a voicemail, and assume they went with someone else.
Automated 3-step estimate follow-up: Day 3 check-in, Day 7 address budget/scope questions, Day 14 final follow-up with your portfolio. Closes 20–30% more cold estimates.
Project underway — client is anxious and texting constantly. Team distracted. Timeline feels chaotic.
Automated milestone update messages sent at each project phase. Client feels informed and reassured. Team focuses on the work rather than managing client communication.
Project complete. Spectacular result. Client is delighted. You never ask for a review or a referral.
Post-project review request 3 days after completion when satisfaction is highest. Referral ask 2 weeks later — 'Do you have friends or neighbours considering a renovation this year?'
Automation Flow

From first enquiry
to completed project and referral pipeline.

01
Enquiry comes in
Instant response — every time
Web form, Google ad, Facebook, referral link — any inbound route captured immediately. Automated SMS confirms receipt within 60 seconds and sets expectations: 'We'll be in touch within 24 hours to discuss your project.'
02
Lead qualification and scope collection
Qualify before the site visit
Automated qualification sequence collects project type, rough scope, budget range, and timeline before you invest time in a site visit. High-quality leads fast-tracked. Low-fit leads politely filtered.
03
Estimate delivered + follow-up sequence
Don't let estimates sit in silence
Estimate sent → 3-step automated follow-up over 14 days. Each message adds value: address scope concerns, share portfolio photos, answer timing questions. Converts leads who needed more information to decide.
04
Contract signed + project kickoff automation
Remove friction from the start
Contract sent via automated link. Deposit payment automation. Project kickoff welcome message with timeline overview and first milestone date. Client starts informed and confident — before a single tool is picked up.
05
Milestone update messages throughout the project
Clients feel informed. Teams stay focused.
At each defined project milestone — demo complete, framing done, cabinetry installed, final walkthrough — an automated update fires to the client. No more 'can you just give me a quick update?' calls.
06
Post-project: review, referral, and seasonal re-engagement
Turn one project into three
3 days post-completion: Google review request. 2 weeks post-completion: referral ask. 12 months post-completion: 'Planning your next renovation?' re-engagement message timed to the seasonal peak.
What We Build

The full renovation
business pipeline.

Lead-to-Estimate Pipeline
Full CRM pipeline from first enquiry to signed contract. Each stage has clear entry criteria and automated actions. Leads move through qualification, site visit scheduled, estimate sent, follow-up, and closed — all tracked and visible.
Project Milestone Tracking
Each active project gets a milestone sequence configured to its specific timeline. Client update messages auto-send at defined phases. Scope changes and timeline shifts managed through the CRM with client notification automation.
Contract & Deposit Automation
Digital contract sent automatically at the point of acceptance. Deposit payment link included. Signature and payment status tracked without chasing. Second deposit trigger configured for mid-project milestones.
Review Generation Engine
Post-project review request at the optimal timing — 3 days after completion when the client is seeing the finished result daily and satisfaction is highest. Google, Houzz, or platform of choice.
Referral Engine
Automated referral ask sent 2 weeks post-completion — when the client is living in their new space and talking about it to everyone they know. Simple share link. Trackable. No awkward in-person ask required.
Seasonal Re-Engagement
Past clients re-engaged at 12 months with a 'planning your next project?' message timed to the spring and summer renovation peak. Highest-converting re-engagement timing for this industry.
FAQ

Before you
reach out.

We use a project management tool like BuilderTrend or CoConstruct — can you connect to it?

We evaluate your project management stack during the audit. The automation layer handles client communication — it sits alongside your PM tool. Where direct integration exists, milestone triggers can be automated from project status changes. Where it doesn't, we configure a simple manual or webhook trigger.

Our projects run 4–12 weeks — how do milestone messages work across that timeline?

Milestone messages are configured to your typical project phases — not to fixed dates. When you mark a phase complete in the CRM, the next client update fires automatically. The sequence adapts to actual project progress, not a rigid calendar.

Can you handle both residential and commercial renovation?

Yes. Residential and commercial pipelines have different qualification criteria, timeline expectations, and communication styles. We configure separate workflows for each, managed from the same CRM.

What if a project runs into delays — do we need to adjust the automations?

Delay communications can be handled with a single pipeline stage update. When a milestone is delayed, the client update message is adjusted accordingly and the downstream sequence shifts to match the new timeline. We build for real-world project variability, not ideal-scenario assumptions.

We get most of our work from referrals — will this change our referral rate?

Systematising referral requests almost always increases referral rate. The challenge is that referrals from happy clients happen informally — they mention you when someone asks. Automated referral requests create the prompt at exactly the right moment. More of your satisfied clients become active referrers.
