For handymen & property maintenance
Every “can you just” call answered. While you finish the one you're on.
Handyman work is ten small jobs a day and a phone that rings through all of them. An AI receptionist picks up in your business name, captures each job properly, and texts you a tidy job sheet — so you quote once, not over three missed calls.

The calls come while you're on other jobs
Half your enquiries land while you're up a ladder for someone else. The AI catches them, sorts urgent from whenever-suits, and the job's waiting in a text when you put the drill down.
Small jobs, same admin as big ones
A $150 gutter clean takes the same phone work as a $5,000 fence: the call, the address, the access questions. The AI does that intake on every call so you only handle the decision.
Property managers ring the reliable one
Landlords and property managers hate chasing tradies. When every call gets answered and a job sheet lands within a minute, you become the contact they stop shopping around on.
A property manager rings while you're mid-job
A real example: a property manager with two problems at one rental. The AI captures both as a single visit, gets the tenant's access details, and doesn't guess at prices.
Within a minute of hangup: name, number, address, the job and urgency — texted and emailed to you. See how it works →
Quoting fatigue is a phone problem first
The job might be worth $180, but the phone admin around it is the same as a $5,000 one: the first call, the missed call back, the “sorry, which house was this again?”. At fifteen jobs a week, that admin is a second job you never invoice for. TradieCall does the intake on every call — name, number, address, what needs doing and how urgent — and texts and emails you the job sheet within a minute of hang-up. You read it at smoko, decide whether it's worth your time, and quote once with the details already in front of you. The tyre-kickers and telemarketers never reach you at all — spam gets blocked free, and blocked calls are never billed.
It also answers the calls you were never going to take anyway: the 8pm “the fence has blown over” and the Sunday-night “it needs sorting before the open home on Tuesday”. Answering around the clock is the whole point of a phone answering service, and it costs a lot less than doing it yourself from the dinner table. Every call is transcribed and recorded in your dashboard, so “she said the gate, not the fence” arguments settle themselves.
Become the maintenance contact they stop shopping around for
Property managers are the best repeat work in maintenance, and they pick their go-to on one thing: whether stuff happens when they ring. A portfolio of forty rentals throws up work every single week — jammed doors, leaking taps, fences, letterboxes, healthy-homes fixes. The handyman who answers gets it; the one whose phone rings out gets tried once and quietly dropped. An AI receptionist that picks up every time, takes the property address and the tenant's details, and lands a job sheet in the property manager's inbox within a minute, makes a one-man band look like an outfit with an office. They don't need to know it's an AI on a natural Kiwi voice — though it'll tell them honestly if they ask.
On the Pro plan the AI can also pencil visits straight into your diary, synced with Google Calendar, so a “when can someone come?” becomes a held slot instead of a callback you owe. Starter is $129/mo incl. GST if you'd rather book jobs yourself — the pricing page has the full breakdown. Either way it's a 7-day free trial, about 10 minutes to set up, and no lock-in.
