How a job runs, end to end

Every stage below is a real handover in the business. Kerbco removes the phone calls and the re-keying between them.

What changes

BEFORE

  • Eleven manual steps between enquiry and a quote going out.
  • £16.90 of mapping cost on every single job, won or lost.
  • Council rules held in someone's head, different in every authority.
  • Enquiries going cold while plans were drawn by hand.

AFTER

  • One step: the enquiry produces the mapped, priced quote.
  • No per-job mapping cost.
  • Council rules encoded per authority and reused.
  • Quotes out in minutes, while the customer is still interested.

Edinburgh

CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL APPLICATIONS

Local fee structure and required plan formats are encoded per authority, so an Edinburgh application is priced and packaged to that council's rules rather than a generic template.

Glasgow

GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL APPLICATIONS

The same enquiry flow applies Glasgow's fees and lead times, which keeps a multi-authority contractor working from one pipeline instead of one process per council.

Questions operators ask

How is per-job mapping cost removed?

Site and location plans are generated from open mapping data at the point of enquiry, so the £16.90 previously spent per job on a paid plan account disappears — including on jobs that never convert.

Does it work across different councils?

Yes. Fees, plan requirements and lead times are encoded per local authority, so the same enquiry flow produces a compliant pack for whichever council the address falls under.

Can a person check the quote before it goes out?

Every generated quote and application pack can be reviewed, edited or overridden before it is sent. The automation removes the drafting, not the judgement.
