AI SMS for UK Underpinning Specialist Companies

Every inbound text receives a branded reply in your company name within seconds. A loss adjuster's detailed text — 'Zurich claim ZU-2025-44821, 1960s bungalow Botley, clay shrinkage confirmed, mass concrete underpinning rear and flank, 1m bays, 2.4m depth, 12-month monitoring, survey within 10 days' — is acknowledged with every claim specification preserved. A homeowner's anxious text — 'got cracks in our house, think it might be subsidence' — prompts questions about the crack direction, property age, and whether an engineer has assessed the damage.

The reply reads like an underpinning specialist checking messages between excavation bays — measured, technically competent, and reassuring without overpromising. It uses your company name and asks about the crack characteristics and property details. Homeowners texting underpinning firms during their most worried moment need a response that demonstrates specialist knowledge and calm professionalism.

Current insurance clients text about monitoring readings, crack progression updates, engineer visit confirmations, and programme changes. The AI captures these and categorises them separately from new enquiries. Your dashboard distinguishes a new loss adjuster instruction from an existing client confirming that the tell-tales show movement has stabilised.

AI SMS is £23/month as a channel add-on. Underpinning projects range from £3,000 single-elevation domestic mass concrete work to £80,000 multi-elevation piled schemes. Capturing a loss adjuster's three-elevation insurance instruction through a rapid text reply — while you poured concrete into the sixth bay on another claim — generates revenue that far exceeds the annual channel cost.

Reply in any thread and the AI hands control to you immediately. During office and reporting time — writing method statements, processing monitoring data, and pricing claims — manage texts yourself. During active excavation — shoring, digging, and concreting in confined trenches — let the AI handle commercial messages while you stay safe in the ground.

Text messages containing property addresses, insurance claim references, structural engineer recommendations, foundation specifications, and contact details are encrypted and stored on UK and EU servers under UK GDPR. Data goes only to you. Nothing is shared with competing underpinning firms or repurposed for any secondary use.
