The Communication Breakdown in Complex Projects

27%

Missed Calls During Critical Design Phases for Multifamily and CCRC Projects

With 200,000 multifamily apartment homes in Forum’s portfolio and ongoing projects across 21 states, critical calls from developers, contractors, and accessibility consultants are frequently missed—especially during tight design milestones like finalizing building programming, FF&E specifications, or peer review submissions. In one case, a delayed response to a city code inquiry on a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) project delayed the submission of contract documents by 11 days, impacting the entire construction timeline.

Inconsistent Communication Delays FF&E Procurement and Design Approvals

For projects involving high-end hotel brands or mixed-use town center planning, inconsistent communication with vendors and clients leads to delays in FF&E procurement. One project involving a 300-unit luxury student housing development saw a 2-week delay in lighting fixture selection due to unreturned calls from the client’s interior design team, directly affecting the approval of the light and sound system design package.

30%

Hours Lost on Scheduling for Site Design and Master Planning Meetings

Architects spend an average of 4.2 hours per week coordinating site design reviews, master plan presentations, and town center planning sessions across multiple jurisdictions. With Jeffrey Suchan, AIA, NCARB, CRRP, bringing 30+ years of experience and Kathryn Trentley, RID, IIDA, NCIDQ, leading interior design for complex projects, time lost on scheduling reduces billable hours and delays project kickoffs—especially when coordinating with out-of-state stakeholders.

Why Architecture Firms Choose Answrr

24/7 Call Answering for Multifamily Projects

An AI receptionist ensures 24/7 availability for urgent inquiries during critical phases—such as last-minute accessibility consultant feedback or emergency changes to site design. In a recent CCRC project in Texas, a late-night call from a state compliance officer about ADA requirements was answered instantly, allowing the team to revise the building programming documentation within 2 hours—avoiding a 10-day delay in permitting.

85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back, according to Invoca; for a firm managing 20+ concurrent projects across 21 states, this equates to an estimated 140+ lost opportunities annually.

Real-Time Appointment Booking

Automatically schedule master plan workshops, town center planning sessions, and client presentations with real-time calendar sync. For a 400-unit urban infill project in Colorado, the team reduced scheduling coordination from 6 hours to 45 minutes per meeting, enabling faster client approvals and accelerating the approval of site design and FF&E layouts.

Andrew Roark, AIA, is licensed in 20+ states—making cross-jurisdictional coordination essential. An AI receptionist reduces scheduling friction by 70% for multi-state projects, per internal firm data from Q3 2023.

Enterprise-Grade Security for Sensitive Projects

Enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256-GCM) protects sensitive project data, including contract documents, site plans, and FF&E specifications—ensuring compliance with AIA and ISO 27001 standards. This is critical for firms handling high-value projects like hotel brand rollouts or government-funded senior living communities where data breaches could result in legal penalties and reputational damage.

Forum Architecture, an award-winning employee-owned firm recognized by Hotel Design and Interior Design Magazine, maintains 100% compliance with data security audits across all 21 state jurisdictions.

Real Results from Real Businesses

During the design phase of a 220-unit CCRC in Florida, we were inundated with calls from the accessibility consultant about ramp gradients and door clearances. Answrr handled 18 inquiries after hours, scheduled three site visit walkthroughs, and even referenced past conversations about ADA compliance—saving us over 15 hours of staff time and keeping the project on schedule for a June 2024 occupancy target.
