Contracting enquiries arrive from people who cannot describe the job in the terms you price it in. The form's job is to translate — to turn 'I need my bathroom done' into enough structure that you can decide whether to visit.
Ask for job type, property type, rough dimensions and photographs. Photographs do more work than any other field: they answer questions the customer does not know to answer and prevent site visits that were never going to convert. Access constraints and preferred timing prevent the other common waste, which is arriving to find scaffolding is needed or nobody is home.
Be direct about your area. A radius or a list of towns on the form saves both sides the exchange that ends with 'sorry, we don't cover that', which for busy trades is a meaningful share of total enquiry volume.
Instaform records each enquiry as a Deal moving from enquiry to site visit to quote to booked, with photographs attached to the Contact. When several jobs are running, that is the difference between a diary and an actual pipeline — and it makes the quiet weeks visible far enough ahead to do something about them.
FAQ
- What should a contractor enquiry form ask?
- Job type, property type, rough dimensions and photographs. Photos answer questions customers do not know to answer and prevent visits that were never going to convert.
- How do I avoid out-of-area enquiries?
- State your radius or list your towns on the form. For busy trades that exchange is a meaningful share of total enquiry volume.
- How do I stop wasted site visits?
- Ask for photographs and access constraints. Most wasted visits are scaffolding, parking or nobody home — all knowable in advance.
- How do I keep track of jobs?
- Each enquiry becomes a Deal moving from enquiry to site visit to quote to booked, so quiet weeks are visible early enough to act on.
