Booking System for Construction Companies: Surveys, Consultations and Snagging

A construction company does not book haircuts; it books site surveys, design consultations and handover inspections. Mythex builds a booking system around those visits, with travel time between surveys and every request saved to a database.

Who it's for

Building and renovation firms whose estimators juggle survey visits by phone and text, and lose a day each week to driving between appointments that could have been grouped. Also useful for firms with a showroom or office where clients come in to discuss designs.

What you can build

Site survey slots of 60 to 90 minutes with travel time blocked between them
Showroom or office consultations booked separately from site visits
Snagging and handover inspections booked by existing clients
A booking form that asks for site address, project type and planning status
An estimator's day view grouped by postcode area
Confirmation and reminder emails so nobody is out when the surveyor arrives

Why surveys need different rules from appointments

A survey is not a fixed slot in a room. The estimator has to drive there, measure, take photos and talk through the client's ideas, and the next visit could be on the other side of town. A booking system for builders should add travel buffer between visits, let you mark which areas you cover on which days, and stop the calendar filling with back-to-back slots nobody could make. Say all of this in your prompt and Mythex builds the slot rules to match.

Group surveys by area to win more quotes

Quotes are how a builder wins work, so the number of surveys you can fit in a week matters. If the booking page offers north-side slots only on Tuesdays and south-side slots on Thursdays, an estimator can do five visits in a day instead of three. Ask for the postcode to be checked at booking, so a client sees only the days you are in their area.

What to set up first

Start with one visit type, the site survey, and get the slots, buffer and form right. Then add consultations and snagging inspections as separate types with their own lengths. Keep the questions short: site address, what they want built, rough budget, and whether planning is in place. Anything longer and people abandon the form; anything shorter and you arrive without knowing what to look at.

A prompt to start from

Build a booking system for a construction company. Clients book a site survey (90 minutes), an office design consultation (60 minutes) or a snagging inspection (45 minutes). Leave 30 minutes travel between site visits, offer survey slots only on the days we cover the client's postcode area, and save name, phone, site address, project type, budget range and planning status. Add an admin day view per estimator and reminder emails the day before.

Questions

Can clients book a site survey online?

Yes. They pick a free survey slot, enter the site address and a few details about the job, and the booking is saved to a database. You see it in the admin view and can confirm or move it.

Can it leave travel time between visits?

Yes. Say how much buffer you need and the slot picker stops offering times that would not leave room to drive. You can also limit the number of surveys per estimator per day.

Can existing clients book a snagging visit?

Add snagging or handover inspections as a separate booking type with its own length. Ask for it to be shown only to clients with an active project if you do not want it public.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe the visit types and rules in plain language and Mythex builds the booking system with a live preview you can change by chatting.

Is it free?

The Free plan has daily credits and no credit card, enough to build and publish a first version. Pro is $25 a month and adds a custom domain, code editing and more credits.
