“ The numbers are nuts ,” says founder and CEO Chris Brunsdon . “ In two years , we ’ ve seen the values quoted by installers on Framepoint ® go from £ 10 million a month to over £ 100 million a month . To be honest it ’ s hard to get your head around .” The number of installation firms using Framepoint ® continues to grow too with fifty more installation companies signing up to use the service so far this year . But it ’ s not just new business that is fuelling growth , explains Chris :

“ Timber products have been added to Framepoint ® in the last quarter . Having the full suite of

materials - timber , aluminium , steel and PVCu - available to touch , show and sell has certainly boosted the numbers . We ’ re also seeing a rising incidence of installers combining multiple materials in one quote – a timber front door , an aluminium bi-fold and some PVCu sashes on the same job is not uncommon , for example .”

Rising average quote values are also a feature with the average quote to homeowners reaching a new record high of £ 7,700 in March - a whopping 40 % higher than March 2021 .

“ Framepoint ® subscribers have always been able get more on every job because it ’ s easy to

show off premium features such as foils , dual colours , dummy vents , mechanical joints , flush casements , surface mounted bars and premium ironmongery in a very visual way . But the ongoing rise in average quote values also points to inevitable price rises filtering through .”

Tommy Trinder report that more than 16,300 homeowners have received a quote generated by Framepoint ® in the last three

months . Notably , 60 % of quotes were accompanied by a visualisation ;

“ The makeover tool , where installers provide a mockup to the homeowner of their new windows in situ , is definitely becoming a staple part of the quoting process ,” says Chris . “ When you consider the ease with which consumers are able to model other

significant purchases like cars or kitchens , it feels inevitable that offering the client a visual of windows and doors will become the norm . Customers love being able to ‘ try before they buy .’”
