Your kitchen and dining room in one
Done in a week, with the steel signed off by building control.
Zara, thanks for your call this morning
A load-bearing wall of about three and a half metres needs a steel beam, sized by an engineer and checked by building control. Here is what I would do: prop the floor above, take the wall out and fit the steel, then make good the walls and floor.

You don’t need ChatGPT
Craig asks ChatGPT for the quote in the film. You can build the same quote yourself in Raq.com, from the same price list and branding. If you already use ChatGPT, Claude or another AI app, connect it and it can do the work for you.
Common questions
Does the AI receptionist give out prices?
Only if you tell it to. You write its greeting and instructions. In the film it takes the details and tells the caller Craig will send a quote.
Do callers know they’re talking to an AI?
Yes. It tells callers at the start that the call is recorded, transcribed and handled by an AI assistant, and they can say if they don’t want to carry on.
Can customers pay the deposit by card?
Yes, once you connect your Stripe account. Raq.com Invoice Generator puts a Pay now button on the invoice and sends reminders when one is overdue.
What does it cost?
One Raq.com subscription covers over 75 tools, with plans from $39 a month. Voice Calls needs the Professional plan or above and an approval check, and calls are charged per minute. See plans and pricing.
