Tired of Relying on Word-of-Mouth?

Referrals are valuable — but unpredictable, hard to scale, and impossible to control. Sound familiar?

Zero Control

Your future's in someone else's hands. This prevents you from taking charge and building a business with a clear path to success.

Unpredictable

Without a predictable flow, it's challenging to plan resources and future projects, leaving you in a constant state of uncertainty.

Limited Reach

Relying on your current network means missing out on potential opportunities outside of your immediate circle.

Hard to Scale

Growing on referrals alone is like building a house without plans. You can't expand what you can't predict.

Inconsistent Pipeline

The anxiety of not knowing when the next project will arrive leaves you facing empty days — or weeks — in your calendar.

Send Letters Your Way

Choose Manual for full control, or switch on Auto-Send and let PlanPing handle everything — including the stamp.

Builders Are Already Winning Work

We don't rely on word-of-mouth — but when builders keep saying this, we have to share it.

5.0 — Rated by 100+ builders
"As a sole trader, competing with larger building firms has been an increasing challenge. PlanPing has leveled the playing field, allowing me to find and secure projects perfectly suited for my business."

Derek Mitchell

Owner @ Tier One Building Services

"PlanPing has completely transformed how I find work. The first project I secured more than paid for the subscription — it's like having a sales team working for you around the clock."

Steve Harper

MD @ Stonegate Building Services

"I was doubtful at first, but PlanPing proved me wrong. Securing two major projects within a month has been a game changer. The investment has already paid for itself 5 times over!"

Lucas Grant

MD @ SL Builders

"The simplicity and effectiveness of PlanPing are unmatched. It's saved me both time and money, and significantly increased the number of projects I win."

Ryan Phillips

Owner @ R.H Developments

"Before PlanPing, searching planning portals manually was a massive time sink. PlanPing has revolutionised our approach, turning a cumbersome process into a streamlined, efficient operation. This tool isn't just useful; it's essential for our growth."

Jordan Morris

Director @ Horizon Build Group

"Initially I faced some setup issues, but their support was swift and effective. Since then, their consistently excellent support has made every question a breeze to resolve. Truly impressive service."

Connor Reed

Owner @ Hartwell Construction

"Nothing compares to PlanPing. Found a similar tool costing £2k+ annually with mandatory commitment. PlanPing offers unmatched value and flexibility, without locking us into a yearly contract."

Harry Collins

Owner @ Rural & City Projects

"I love the control PlanPing gives us. When our calendar is full, I dial back outreach, and ramp it up during slower periods. It's significantly reduced my stress by putting us in charge of our business flow."

Oscar Green

MD @ Silverline Builders

"Being wary of online tools due to my limited tech skills is usual for me. Yet, this proved to be exceptionally easy to use — just a few clicks and you're done."

Louis Moore

MD @ LMC Building Services

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PlanPing.

PlanPing finds all planning applications matching your criteria local to you, updated daily. You can generate print-ready PDF letters in one click, or enable Auto-Send to have letters posted automatically. Getting started is easy — sign up, design a letter template, set your preferences, and start reaching homeowners immediately.

Every letter you send — whether manually printed or auto-posted — includes a unique QR code linked to your business website or landing page. When a recipient scans the code with their phone, the scan is logged instantly in your Engagement dashboard. You'll see the address, planning UID, number of scans, and last scan time for every letter. No extra setup needed; it's built in to all letter templates.

With Manual sending, you choose individual planning applications, generate PDFs, and print and post them yourself. With Auto-Send, you set up a campaign with target criteria and a daily spend budget, and PlanPing automatically identifies new matching planning applications and posts letters on your behalf — fully hands-free. Both modes use the same QR tracking system and are visible in the same Engagement dashboard.

Of course you can — but it's extremely time-consuming. It can take hours to identify projects, pull addresses, and prepare letters. PlanPing handles all of that in seconds, with a dedicated QR-tracked letter for each recipient. It's like having an extra team member whose only job is filling your pipeline.

Yes — PlanPing includes a full drag-and-drop letter editor where you can design your own A4 template. Add your logo, branding, custom text, and a QR code placeholder. Templates are saved and reused across all your manual prints and auto-send campaigns. We can also help you craft letter content that gets the highest response rates.

Our database is updated daily with new planning applications across the UK. This means you'll always be among the first to reach homeowners who have just submitted — giving you a significant head-start over any competitor who searches manually.

Letters are generated as print-ready PDFs with the recipient address in the exact position for standard windowed envelopes. Just print, insert, add a stamp, and post. If you prefer not to handle postage yourself, switch to Auto-Send and we'll handle the printing, stamping, and posting for you.

Absolutely. PlanPing is designed for construction businesses of all sizes — from sole traders to companies with multiple employees — across all trades: builders, architects, landscapers, electricians, plumbers, and more.

No. PlanPing offers flexible monthly pricing with no mandatory annual commitment. You can choose monthly or annual (with a 10% discount), and cancel any time.

This is a numbers game — results depend entirely on how many letters you send. Some users see responses after their first campaign, others need several rounds of outreach before work comes in. Response rates are also heavily influenced by the quality of your letter (we can help with this), your website (we can help with this too), and how competitive your local market is. The more consistently you send, the faster you'll see results.

One advantage PlanPing has is that every letter carries a unique QR code — so you can actually measure who is scanning and when. That data lets you see which campaigns are generating interest, test different letters, and adjust your approach based on real numbers rather than guesswork.
