Construction Company CRM Automation: Tracking Tender Leads, Site Visits, and Quote Follow-Ups
A construction services company was losing tender and project enquiries across email, WhatsApp, and sales calls. We built a CRM workflow for lead capture, site visits, estimates, and follow-up.

Build
Lead intake -> project qualification -> site visit booking -> estimate follow-up -> tender status dashboard
Project leads were valuable, but scattered across too many inboxes
The company received enquiries from the website, referral partners, WhatsApp, tender portals, and direct email. Site visits were scheduled manually, estimates were sent from personal inboxes, and management had no single view of project value by stage.
A construction CRM workflow built around project value and next action
We created a centralized CRM pipeline for all enquiries. Each lead captured project type, location, estimated budget, timeline, tender deadline, and site visit requirement. Automated reminders kept estimators and sales managers accountable for every next step.
