Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to your questions

How does Buildscout help me get construction leads?

Our platform lets you send targeted, personalised letters to new planning applications or permissions in your area. By focusing your outreach efforts on high-potential leads who’ve recently been granted (or applied for) planning permission, you maximise your chances of securing new business.

What types of construction projects can I target with Buildscout?

Whether you’re interested in single-storey residential extensions within a 10-mile radius of your place of work, or large commercial developments of 50+ units in a 100-mile radius… Our platform lets you build campaigns that suit your business.

How do I create a campaign on Buildscout?

Simply select the type of jobs you’d like to target and specify the distance you’re willing to travel. Once you’ve done this, choose a personalised letter from our library of conversion-optimised templates (or upload your own). Finally, set your follow-up frequency and then sit back and wait for the phone to start ringing.

How does Buildscout help me track my leads?

Can I run multiple campaigns simultaneously on Buildscout?

Yes, you can run multiple side-by-side campaigns on Buildscout. Set up multiple campaigns in minutes so you can double double down on winners and maximise your return on investment.

How does Buildscout compare to traditional advertising methods?

Traditional advertising methods such as directories, newspapers, and paid social media ads are expensive and untargeted. Buildscout offers a more focused and cost-effective approach by allowing you to target the hottest leads before anyone else.

How do we make a difference and stand out from all other marketing through the door?
  • First, timing. Your business reaches homeowners at the exact moment they’re planning work, before they’ve chosen who to carry out the work.
  • Second, quality. We professionally design personalised, high-quality marketing at no extra cost, positioning your business as a trusted, premium service, not generic advertising.
  • Third, early insight. Our platform identifies right-fit planning applications early, allowing you to reach homeowners before most competitors are even aware of the opportunity.
Isn't the submission stage too early?

No, reaching homeowners at the submission stage actually gives you a competitive advantage. At this point, homeowners are actively planning work but haven’t committed to a contractor, so you have the opportunity to position yourself as a practical expert and build trust before anyone else.
