Outdoor spaces and grounds: Enquiry form for garden structure builders
An enquiry form for garden structure builders that asks for garden size, position, ground and preferred structure, so a draughtsman can make a first sketch before any visit.
What makes an enquiry complete for garden structure builders.
At garden structure builders an enquiry often starts with a request for a canopy of a certain length, with no height, position or ground mentioned. Only at the visit does it emerge that a window frame on the back wall is in the way, that the garden can only be reached down a narrow alley or that an old concrete slab lies under the lawn. A sketch based on the first measurement then has to be redone. People also often give the size of the garden as the size of the structure. The form has to ask for what determines the build in a way a homeowner can answer.

From form to assessed enquiry.
Ask about position and use
The form asks where the structure should go, whether it is against a wall or freestanding, what it will be used for and where the sun comes from. Each question has an example drawing. Then come the desired size, the height at the wall and any side panels.
Record the wall and the ground
The enquirer sends photos of the wall with window frames, gutter and outdoor lights, and of the ground where the structure will stand. The form asks whether there is paving, lawn or concrete and whether any pipes or cables run nearby. Anything the enquirer does not know becomes an open point.
Prepare the enquiry for drawing
The draughtsman or owner receives a summary with position, sizes, photos and open points. It shows whether a first sketch can be made remotely or whether measuring comes first. Access for bringing in long beams is noted too, so it does not come as a surprise on build day.
Enquiries in one place, not the inbox.
Enquiries reach garden structure builders by email, phone, social media and showrooms where people look at models. We decide which channel gathers them and how a showroom conversation ends up in the same list. Photos and sizes stay with the enquiry and carry on to the drawing and quote. The enquirer owns their details; the business decides which questions are needed for a sketch and which are only answered at the survey.
Remote sketch or measure first
A sketch based on photos and stated sizes gives the customer a quick picture, but may change a lot after measuring. Measuring first costs a trip but produces a drawing that is right. Many firms give a rough sketch for a clear enquiry and only measure up once the customer wants to go ahead seriously.
Showroom enquiries separate or combined
People who look at a model in the showroom have often already talked to someone but leave no details. A short form on a tablet in the showroom brings those enquiries into the same list. It costs the salesperson a few minutes, but the conversation is not lost.
Including planning questions in the form
You can ask whether the customer has already checked if permission is needed, or leave it for later. The form can collect the points that matter, such as distance to the boundary and height. The assessment itself stays with you or the customer, never with the form.

Read the storyWhich questions the form asks.
At the start the form asks about position, use, size and ground, with photo uploads of wall and garden and an overview for the draughtsman. The draughtsman approves the layout of that overview before it goes live. Together we test an ordinary enquiry for a canopy against the house, and a carport on a sloping driveway next to a lamppost. The showroom form and an enquiry that flows on into the quote can be switched on later.

Explore pricing and optionsWhat if the customer does not know the height of the wall?
The form then asks for a photo of the wall with the door in it, so the height can be estimated from the door. The draughtsman sees that the figure is estimated and adds measuring to the visit list. The sketch does not start from a wrong assumption.
Can customers send an example photo of what they want?
Yes, and the form asks what appeals to them in it: the shape, the roof, the colour or the side panels. That helps translate the wish to their own garden, because the example almost always has a different size and different ground.
How do we handle enquiries about installing kits?
You can state in the form whether you install other makers' kits. If not, the enquirer gets a polite reply. If you do, the form asks for the brand, the model and whether the kit has already arrived, so scheduling can take it into account.
Does the enquiry go straight to a quote?
No. The enquiry leads first to a sketch or a visit. The quote follows once sizes and choices are settled. All details and photos travel with it, so nobody has to ask for them again and the draughtsman can see what the customer reported.
