The complete housebuilder management solution.

Development & Plot Management

Easy development administration with flexible plot management

New developments take some time to get setup and running, long before they are ready to go on sale. ContactBuilder facilitates the initial pre-sales set up of a development, along with plots, so that you can add information as and when you have it. And it caters for all types of development setups including the flexibility to add plots in phases and apartments in blocks.

From the start, the file upload area will allow you to save all your important documents relating to a plot or development in one place.

It also has a handy plot bulk update function so information like addresses, number of bedrooms, house types and build stage updates can be added for multiple properties at once with just a couple of clicks.

Once the development is released for sale, you can then easily see an overview of your plots including reservation status, build stage and what is remaining to sell. You can also configure your options and extras from the plot management screen, a long-winded process that ContactBuilder makes easy. There is also a suite of dashboards and reports to enable you to extract and share this information as needed.

Once a plot has reserved, if you want keep your purchasers up to date when their build status has changed you can create an automated email to advise them.

Reporting & Dashboards

In-depth insights and reporting supporting our at-a-glance dashboards, which offer real-time management

ContactBuilder offers around 40 different comprehensive reports and the list is still growing. These reports enable management to have both a broad overview and more detailed analysis of sales leads, their sources and the results of the sales team’s activities, including detailed reservation, progression and options and extras reporting. All reports are downloadable, allowing you to extract and share this information as needed.

So you can identify trends, monitor corporate performance and get total transparency over your business processes - in real-time.

The system also allows for you to give the sales team access to some or all the reports so they too can see how they are performing, just by the click of a button.

If you need to know how a development is performing including the types of buyers, their source of enquiry or just how long it is taking them to reserve, we have a report for that. You can also monitor payments coming in or yet to be paid, review how your email marketing is performing and have assistance with data cleansing.

Our dashboards include information on interactions with leads, reservations, aftercare tickets, charges and payments and a plot overview. These can also be downloaded into a report format to analyse and share as needed.

In summary, our reporting and dashboards will give you complete transparency over your business processes, from pre-build to completion and beyond, all in real-time.

Customer Portal

Allow customers to monitor progress and access documents

The customer portal is a customer interface for your purchaser to monitor the progress of their reservation. White labelled and branded with your company colours, the customer portal helps to create a seamless, user-friendly customer journey.

The purchaser can access documents and reservation forms and upload additional information as needed, all in a secure, password protected portal.

It also enables them to update their contact details, marketing preferences, and log support and snag tickets if you have this module enabled. Anything updated or added by the customer will automatically update on your ContactBuilder portal ensuring smooth communication all round.
