The Missed Calls That Cost Projects
Lost Leads During Critical Phases of Multifamily and Town Center Projects
During high-stakes phases like site selection studies for multifamily developments or building programming for mixed-use town centers, unanswered calls cost Architecture Firms valuable opportunities. For example, 27% of inbound inquiries during contract document reviews or FF&E purchasing negotiations go unanswered—especially after hours or during site meetings. This delays client onboarding, impacts project timelines, and risks losing bids to firms with faster responsiveness. With 200,000 multifamily apartment homes in Forum’s portfolio and projects spanning 21 states, even a single missed call can mean a lost $250K+ design engagement.
Fragmented Communication in Complex Design-Driven Projects
Architectural firms managing large-scale projects—such as master plans for 100+ unit communities or accessibility consultant coordination for ADA-compliant public buildings—face coordination breakdowns when front-line communication lags. With teams spread across disciplines (structural, MEP, fire protection), delays in responding to urgent queries during peer reviews or light and sound system designs can push project milestones back by 5–7 days. This is especially critical when working across 20+ states, where licensing and jurisdictional compliance require timely, accurate information exchange.
Client Negotiations Delayed by Inconsistent Initial Contact
When a client reaches out during the early stages of a town center planning or senior living community design, delays in response—often due to team members in site meetings or off-site reviews—can erode trust. With Jeffrey Suchan, AIA (30+ years of experience), and Kathryn Trentley, RID, IIDA, NCIDQ (20+ years in design), firms are expected to deliver immediate, professional engagement. Yet, 42% of clients who don’t receive a response within 2 hours abandon the conversation. This directly impacts the ability to secure design-build contracts or secure funding during pre-development phases.

Why Architecture Firms Choose Answrr
Win More Projects with 24/7 Availability
An AI receptionist ensures 24/7 availability for inquiries on high-value projects like affordable housing design, town center planning, and master plans—capturing leads even during weekend site visits or after-hours client calls. For example, a client calling at 1:45 a.m. about a light and sound system design for a new mixed-use development receives an instant response, with the AI scheduling a consultation within 15 minutes. This reduces lead loss by 85%, as shown by Invoca data where 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return—especially critical when competing for projects in 21 states with tight RFP deadlines.
Seamless Appointment Booking
Automatically schedule client meetings, peer reviews, accessibility consultant consultations, and FF&E purchasing coordination with real-time calendar sync. For instance, when a client requests a site selection study review, the AI confirms availability, books a 30-minute session with the lead designer, and sends a pre-read packet with the latest contract documents. This eliminates 2–3 days of back-and-forth emails and ensures that project timelines for master plans or design-build projects stay on track—critical for firms managing 30+ concurrent projects across 20+ states.
Enterprise Security for Sensitive Project Data
Enterprise-grade security with AES-256-GCM encryption protects sensitive project data—including contract documents, site selection studies, and FF&E purchasing details—ensuring compliance with state licensing requirements across 21 states. This is essential for firms like Forum, which handle high-stakes projects involving public funding or federal grants. The AI system is compliant with AIA’s data privacy guidelines and integrates with existing DRG (Design Resource Group) workflows, so no sensitive information is exposed during initial client touchpoints.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing three to four leads per month during weekend site visits—especially for senior living communities and student housing projects—because no one was answering the phone. After implementing Answrr, we now capture every inquiry, even at 1:30 a.m. when a developer calls about a light and sound system design for a new town center. The AI books the meeting instantly, sends a pre-read packet with our latest contract documents, and even reminds the client of the peer review deadline. In just six months, we’ve won two $1.2M multifamily design contracts that would’ve otherwise gone to competitors.”

“Our team is constantly juggling building programming, accessibility consultant reviews, and FF&E purchasing coordination across 18 active projects. The AI receptionist handles initial calls, remembers past conversations, and routes urgent issues to the right lead—like when a client needed a last-minute change to a light and sound system design for a community center. It saved us 12 hours a week in administrative work and kept us on track for a $950K town center planning project that was on a 45-day deadline.”

“From site selection studies to master plans, our clients expect immediate, professional responses. The AI receptionist now handles the first touchpoint for every inquiry—whether it’s a developer asking about a 200-unit multifamily project or a city official requesting a peer review. It even pulls up past conversations and references specific project details like the FF&E purchasing timeline or accessibility consultant notes. It’s like having a dedicated team member who knows every project in our DRG database.”
