AI SMS for UK Dry Liners
A QS texts about a dry lining tender for a school refurbishment — nineteen classrooms, fire-rated board throughout. You are on a scaffold tower. Your AI replies in seconds and confirms a callback. £23/month add-on.
It is 11:00am on a Monday. You are fixing plasterboard to metal stud partitions in a dental surgery conversion — the walls need to be boarded and skimmed before the specialist fit-out team arrives on Wednesday. Your phone buzzes. A quantity surveyor has texted: 'Hi, we have a dry lining package for a school refurbishment — 19 classrooms, corridors, and 2 halls. Fire-rated board throughout. Tender return next Friday. Interested?' Without AI SMS, the text waits until lunch. The QS texted four dry liners — two responded within ten minutes. With AI SMS, the reply goes out at 11:01am: 'Thanks for this — definitely interested. Can you send the tender documents to our email? Happy to arrange a site visit this week.' By 11:10am, you are on the tender list.

The Numbers Behind UK Construction
Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI SMS work for dry liners?
When a contractor or customer texts your business number, the AI responds instantly with a professional reply. It captures the project scope, board specification, ceiling type, site location, and timeline through a natural text conversation. You receive a lead summary with the full details so you can follow up informed rather than calling back blind.
How much does it cost?
AI SMS is an add-on channel at £23/month on top of the Core plan at £49/month. For dry lining contractors who receive tender enquiries and scope changes by text from site managers, this channel ensures every message gets an instant response. One recovered commercial lead pays for the add-on cost for the entire year.
Can I still text back myself?
Yes. The AI handles the initial response so the sender knows their message has been received and you are on it. You continue the conversation in your own time — at your next break, at lunchtime, or in the evening. The AI steps back as soon as you take over.
How is data protected?
All SMS data is managed under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Messages, phone numbers, and project details are encrypted during transmission and storage, held on UK and EU servers, and shared only with you. We never access or repurpose your text message enquiry data.
Is AI SMS compliant with UK data protection law?
Yes — fully. Every piece of information captured through AI SMS is protected under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Client names, contact details, site addresses, and project specifics are encrypted during transmission and while stored, and held exclusively on UK and EU-based servers. We never share, sell, or repurpose any data captured on your behalf. You maintain full control as the data controller, with the right to request deletion at any point. Your clients have the same right. Rapid Receptionist acts strictly as your data processor, operating under a formal data processing agreement. You can review our approach in detail in our privacy policy.
What if my dry liner business details change after setup?
If your prices change, you start offering a new service, or your availability shifts, just let us know and we update your AI SMS configuration for free. Routine business information updates — pricing, services offered, working hours, contact details — are included at no extra cost as part of the done-for-you service. We handle the change on our end, typically within one working day, so AI SMS always reflects your current dry liner business accurately.
