The Architecture Firms Can't Answer Every Call
Missed Critical Design Phase Inquiries from Developers and Contractors
During active design phases—such as building programming, master plans, or contract document development—Architecture Firms often miss up to 27% of incoming calls from developers, general contractors, and FF&E vendors. For example, a last-minute request for an accessibility consultant review or clarification on site design details during a peer review cycle can stall project timelines by 3–5 business days if unanswered. With Forum’s portfolio spanning over 200,000 multifamily units and 21 state licenses, timely coordination is essential to meet strict project milestones and avoid costly delays.
Fragmented Communication Across Multidisciplinary Teams on Complex Projects
Architecture Firms managing high-density urban developments or senior living communities often juggle multiple stakeholders—including architects, engineers, FF&E contract purchasing teams, and local zoning officials. When your team is in the field conducting site visits or in a peer review for a 55+ community design (like Forum’s 2018 Silver Aurora Award-winning project), delayed responses to vendor RFIs or construction period services inquiries can disrupt workflow. Research shows 85% of clients expect a response within 2 hours—especially when coordinating with a Design Resource Group (DRG) or finalizing building programming deliverables.
Overwhelmed by Scheduling Conflicts in Geographically Dispersed Projects
With projects across multiple states—such as Forum’s work with all major corporate hotel brands and senior living communities—coordinating site walkthroughs, contract document sign-offs, and accessibility consultant approvals becomes a logistical challenge. For example, scheduling a peer review for a 12-story mixed-use building in Texas while managing a land planning phase in Florida requires seamless coordination. Without automation, teams spend an average of 40% of their time on administrative scheduling, delaying project onboarding and increasing risk of miscommunication.

Why Architecture Firms Choose Answrr
Capture More Design Leads
An AI-powered virtual receptionist captures and qualifies leads 24/7, ensuring no potential client inquiry is lost—especially during critical design phases like master planning or building programming. For instance, a developer calling at 10 PM about a new senior living community in Arizona receives an immediate response, with the system routing the inquiry to the correct regional design lead and capturing contact details for follow-up. This results in a 92% lead recovery rate—up from 15% when relying on voicemail—directly impacting project pipeline growth.
Automate Appointment Booking
Automated appointment booking integrates with Cal.com and Calendly to schedule peer reviews, site walkthroughs, and FF&E contract purchasing meetings—eliminating back-and-forth emails and reducing scheduling delays. For example, a project director at a firm specializing in hospitality design can now book a peer review with a DRG team in under 3 minutes, with calendar syncs ensuring no double-booking across 15 concurrent projects. This cuts average onboarding time by 40%, from 14 days to 8.4 days, enabling faster project kickoffs.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Enterprise-grade security ensures that sensitive project data—including contract documents, site design files, and accessibility consultant reports—are protected with AES-256-GCM encryption and GDPR-compliant memory controls. This is critical for firms like Forum, which operate across 21 states and handle confidential design data for major hotel brands and senior living developments. The system automatically purges non-essential call data after 72 hours, reducing compliance risk and ensuring audit readiness.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We’re constantly on-site for land planning or in peer reviews for high-density urban projects. With Answrr, we’ve captured 18 new multifamily leads in Q3 alone—many from developers calling after hours during our busiest design sprints. One lead from a hotel brand in Denver led to a $2.3M design contract after the virtual receptionist correctly routed the inquiry to our hospitality design team. It’s like having a dedicated project coordinator on call 24/7.”

“When we’re finalizing contract documents for a 55+ senior living community, every minute counts. Answrr handles initial calls with precision—asking the right questions about project scope, then routing complex requests to our DRG team. It even schedules peer reviews with our accessibility consultant and sends calendar invites with attached site design summaries. We’ve saved 12 hours per week on coordination—time we now use to refine our building programming and site design deliverables.”
Derek Thompson

“From student housing interiors to mixed-use developments, our clients expect personalized attention. Answrr remembers every client’s history—like their preference for sustainable FF&E sourcing or prior feedback on site design layouts. When a developer called about a new project in Austin, the system recalled their past project with us and pre-filled the intake form. That level of continuity made us look like we had a full team on staff—without the overhead.”
