The Homeowner

B75

Dear Homeowner, I noticed your planning application to Birmingham City Council for erection of single and two storey front extension and alterations to the existing dwelling, including remodelling of the front, side and rear eleva, and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a local builder and this is exactly the kind of work we do. If you haven't chosen a builder yet, I'd be glad to come round, look at the plans with you and give you a free, no-obligation quote. Whether your application is still being decided or already approved, it's never too early to get prices together, and good builders book up quickly. My phone number and email are at the top of this letter. I'd be glad to hear from you. Kind regards, Your name Your company

Why the first eight weeks matter

Councils usually decide a householder application within eight weeks. While they wait, people know exactly what they want built, and they haven't started yet. That's when a letter from a local builder lands best.

  1. Week 1

    The plans go in

    Tellux checks the register every morning and finds the jobs that match your trade and area.

  2. Weeks 1 to 8

    The council decides

    Your letter arrives while they're still planning, so you can be the first builder they hear from.

  3. After

    Work starts

    Two weeks after your letter, Tellux reminds you to follow up, with the second letter ready.

Get these in your account every morning.

Full addresses, ready-written letters and a reminder to follow up.
