The Architecture Firms That Miss Calls Lose Clients
Missed Calls During Site Visits and Schematic Design Meetings
Architecture firms often miss critical inbound calls during on-site inspections or client meetings for Schematic Design phases—especially when senior architects are away from the office. With 27% of calls going unanswered during business hours (AIA Client Satisfaction Survey, 2023), firms risk losing high-intent leads from clients seeking immediate feedback on Design-Build feasibility or LEED Certification pathways. For example, a client calling about a $1.2M mixed-use project during a site review may never follow up if their inquiry isn’t captured in real time.
Delayed Follow-Up on Construction Document Inquiries
Without automated client intake, follow-up on Construction Documents or Change Order requests can lag beyond the 24-hour window that 78% of clients expect (ArchDaily, 2024). This delay often occurs during project phasing transitions—such as moving from Schematic Design to Construction Documents—when project managers are overloaded. A delayed response to a client’s request for a fee proposal can result in lost momentum and reduced conversion rates.
Inability to Route Calls by Project Type or Expertise
Calls from clients seeking specialized services—like a historic renovation requiring LEED Certification or a multi-phase mixed-use development using BIM—often get routed to the wrong consultant due to lack of intelligent routing. This leads to misaligned consultations, wasted time, and poor stakeholder coordination. For instance, a call about a Design-Build project for a public school may be answered by a residential specialist, resulting in an unqualified response and potential client attrition.

Why Architecture Firms Choose Answrr
Capture More Project Leads
Capture 35% more project leads by ensuring every inquiry—especially those from clients calling after hours or during site visits—is instantly logged and scheduled. For example, a client calling at 7:30 PM about a $900K commercial renovation project receives an immediate response, with the AI capturing their project type, location, and timeline, then scheduling a consultation within 15 minutes. This level of responsiveness aligns with top-performing firms that respond in under 1.8 hours (LinkedIn Benchmark, 2024).
Automate Client Intake
Automate 100% of initial client intake for Schematic Design and Construction Document inquiries, reducing manual data entry by 80%. The AI captures project type, budget range, timeline, and preferred consultant (e.g., LEED-certified specialist), then logs the inquiry into your CRM with a priority tag. This ensures no lead is lost during project phasing transitions and reduces follow-up time from 45 minutes to under 5 minutes.
Professional, Consistent Communication
Ensure consistent, brand-aligned communication across all client touchpoints. The AI delivers a polished, professional message that reflects your firm’s expertise—whether answering a call about BIM coordination or a Change Order request. Every caller hears the same tone, structure, and clarity, reinforcing credibility and trust. For example, a client inquiring about a multi-phase residential project receives a response that references your firm’s past work on similar projects, enhancing perceived expertise.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose leads because our team was in meetings or on-site during critical project phasing. Now, Answrr answers every call instantly—especially during Schematic Design reviews—and books consultations with the right consultant. In just three months, our client intake for Design-Build projects increased by 62%, and we closed two major commercial renovations we’d previously missed.”

Principal, UrbanEdge Architecture (Commercial & Mixed-Use Specialization), Architecture Firms
“The AI remembers past projects and preferences. When a client called about a LEED Platinum upgrade for a school district, it pulled up our previous work on similar projects and asked targeted questions about budget and timeline—making the conversation feel seamless. The client said, 'You already know what I need,' which built instant trust.”
