Turnkey construction companies · CRM

The record has to hold the plot, not just the person who called.

A CRM for a turnkey construction company is the enquiry-to-contract record: the plot, the build type, the budget, the approval status, the site visit, each estimate version and the reason a file closed. GullySales sets up those fields and the handover to your site team once a contract is signed.

What CRM means

A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For turnkey construction companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “A plot has an address, a size and a sanction status”

    Locality, dimensions, road width, corner plot or not, khata and plan approval position. Without those fields a father and a son enquiring about the same site look like two deals, and neither salesman knows the other has already quoted.

  • “Estimate versions are the history of the negotiation”

    Version one at one rate, version three with the lift dropped and the flooring changed. Keep the versions against the enquiry and you can see exactly where a deal stopped moving. Keep them in a salesman's laptop and you cannot.

  • “The sales record and the project software are two different things”

    Once the contract is signed the job moves to a site team, a bar chart and a billing schedule. If the enquiry record does not hand over cleanly, the owner repeats the brief to a project manager who has never read it, and the relationship starts badly.

What we do

What we deliver for turnkey construction companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Plot fields captured at the first enquiry

    Locality, plot dimensions, build type, floors planned, approval status and indicative budget, entered before a site visit is scheduled.

    Result: The team can see which enquiries are genuinely ready to build.

  2. Estimate versions held against the enquiry

    Every revision stored with its date, its rate and what changed, so the negotiation history is visible to whoever picks the file up.

    Result: You can see at which revision the conversation stalled.

  3. Site visits and estimates as tracked stages

    Enquiry, site visit, estimate, revision, contract, with the date each stage was reached and who was responsible.

    Result: The sales review looks at a pipeline rather than at anecdotes.

  4. A closed-lost reason on every dead enquiry

    A short reason recorded at closure, and a periodic read of those reasons by build type and locality.

    Result: The pattern behind lost contracts becomes visible.

  5. A handover pack from sales to the site team

    The brief, the agreed specification, the estimate version signed and the owner's contacts passed to the project manager in one place.

    Result: The owner does not have to explain the house twice.

  6. A read-out of enquiries, visits and contracts

    Counts by city, build type and source, with visits done and contracts signed, checked against the baseline recorded before the work started.

    Result: You can see which source produces contracts, not just calls.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries logged in the CRM
  • Data completeness
  • Reports generated from CRM data

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What to record, and when

What a turnkey construction company should record about every plot enquiry, and whether software is needed yet.

Who decides, and how the build is funded
Record the plot owner, the spouse or son who decides, and whether the money is a bank loan or own funds. A loan-funded job depends on the bank's sanction and its stage payments.
Approval position of the plan
Note whether the plan is sanctioned, the type of khata and any approval still pending with the local body. A plot that cannot start yet needs a different follow-up date.
What the estimate leaves out
Record the specification level and the exclusions: flooring, lift, borewell, compound wall, interiors. Disputes begin with the exclusions, so write them next to the figure.
Site visit notes and photographs
Attach the site condition, road access and photographs from the visit. Whoever prices the job later sees what the visitor saw.
Who else quoted, and on what basis
Ask and record whether the rival quote was per square foot or itemised. The negotiation changes when you know the other figure was a lump sum.
Do you need software yet?
A sheet is enough while one or two salesmen handle a short list of plots. Move to a CRM when estimates pass through several hands, or when a signed job must be handed to the site team without re-entering anything.

Who it is for

This is written for these turnkey construction companies.

  • Residential turnkey construction companies
  • Villa and independent house builders
  • Commercial fit-out and turnkey contractors
  • Structural design and build firms
  • Renovation and remodelling contractors
  • Industrial shed and warehouse builders
  • Multi-project turnkey developers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You handle a handful of enquiries and the notebook holds everything, so a new system would be another place to forget to write.
  • Nobody on the team will enter the plot, the build type and the stage after each call.
  • You have not decided who may see and change the owner records, and a shared file with no owner goes stale.

How it works

How the CRM work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Map the sales process

    We sit with the people who sell and write down how a deal moves from enquiry to payment, including where it stalls.

  2. 2

    Agree stages, fields and owners

    Each stage gets a name your team already uses and a proof that the deal has left it. We agree which fields are required at which stage, and who may change what.

  3. 3

    Build on a copy

    Pipeline, fields and views are built on a trial copy where the CRM offers one, or in a separate pipeline where the plan allows. Live work stays untouched.

  4. 4

    Connect channels, then switch on automations

    Channels are connected first. Each automation is then switched on separately, so a misfiring rule is easy to find.

  5. 5

    Test with real deals

    The people who will use the CRM run open deals through it. Gaps are fixed before the whole team switches over.

  6. 6

    Switch over and trim

    Once real use shows which fields stay empty and which stages nobody uses, those are cut and the handover record is updated.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
We already use project management software on site. Is that not a CRM?
It starts at the signed contract. Everything before that, the enquiries, the site visits and the estimates that were never accepted, sits outside it. The enquiries you lost are the ones worth studying, and they never appear in project software.
Our sales engineers keep their leads in their own phones. How do we change that?
Make entry short and make the record useful to them. Four fields at the end of a site visit, and in return a list of who to call this week. A record that only serves management gets filled in on the last day of the month, badly.
What do we do with enquiries that will not build for a long time?
Mark them as future, with the reason and a review date, and check them on that date by a call, not a bulk message. A plot owner waiting for a sanction or a loan is a good prospect as long as someone remembers to ring.
How do we record a client who came through an earlier customer?
Add a 'referred by' field linked to the earlier customer's record. A completed house is your best showroom, so ask permission before bringing visitors, and note which customers agreed.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
