Virtual Assistant For Builders: How A VA Saves Builders 15 Hours A Week
Building businesses lose evenings to admin. A dedicated VA handles calls, quotes, supplier comms, CIS and customer follow-up — for less than the cost of a labourer.
If you're running a UK building company, you didn't get into it for the paperwork. But somewhere between two vans and ten, the admin overtakes the trade — quotes piling up, suppliers chasing PO numbers, customers waiting for callbacks, CIS and applications for payment slipping.
A virtual assistant for builders fixes that without a £35,000 office hire. VA365 Trade365 answers the phone in your business name, qualifies enquiries, books surveys, sends quotes from your templates, chases the 2-7-14 cadence, raises POs, handles subbie onboarding, runs CIS verification and gets applications for payment out on time.
For most UK building firms, that's 12–18 hours a week back in the founder's diary, a 20–35% lift in quote conversion within 60 days, and an end to Sunday-night admin. It costs less than a labourer's day rate per week.
Trade365 is built for builders. Book a 15-minute call with Jo — she's run trade businesses herself — and we'll size the right package for your job volume.
