The Critical Problem for Draftsmen Services
Missed Calls During Peak Hours: Lost Opportunities in High-Value Client Interactions
During peak project submission windows—such as when finalizing a plan de construction for a high-end residential development or delivering dessin de détail for a commercial façade—our team often misses calls from clients and contractors. In one case, a major client in Lyon was ready to sign a €245,000 contract for a plan de masse revision, but after three unanswered calls during a 3-hour window, they moved to a competitor. With 27% of calls going unanswered and 85% of those never returning, this directly impacts revenue in a niche where precision and responsiveness are non-negotiable.
Urgent Project Delays: Critical Revisions Held Up by Manual Call Handling
When a client requests an urgent cotation technique update for a fichier DWG due to a zoning change, the delay in response can stall the entire bureau d'études workflow. For example, a project in Marseille faced a 48-hour delay in submitting a revised modélisation 3D due to a draftsman being pulled from CAD work to answer a phone call. Without 24/7 coverage, time-sensitive deliverables like échelle de dessin adjustments or structural coordination are at risk, jeopardizing compliance and deadlines.
Overloaded Draftsmen: Productivity Loss from Non-Core Tasks
Our CAD technicians spend an average of 2.3 hours per week answering client calls about fichier DWG delivery status, revision timelines, and appointment scheduling. This time could otherwise be spent on high-value dessin 2D et 3D pour ingénieurs tasks. One senior draftsman reported losing 18 hours of productive drafting time over a single month due to call interruptions. This directly impacts the quality and speed of plan technique deliverables, especially when working under tight deadlines for public infrastructure or luxury housing projects.

Why Draftsmen Services Choose Answrr
Capture More Projects
Since implementing AI answering, we’ve captured 12 new high-value contracts in 3 months—8 of them from clients who initially left voicemail. One client in Bordeaux, who had previously abandoned a €310,000 project after missing two calls, returned after receiving an instant AI response with a scheduled site visit. The AI now qualifies leads by asking about project type (e.g., plan de construction vs. plan de masse), budget range, and timeline, ensuring only qualified leads reach our team—boosting conversion by 41%.
Book Appointments Instantly
We now book 92% of client meetings within 2 hours of initial contact—down from an average of 48 hours. For a recent modélisation 3D project with a 10-day deadline, the AI scheduled a critical design review meeting with the client and structural engineer within 90 minutes of the first inquiry. This allowed our team to finalize the cotation technique and deliver the revised fichier DWG on time, avoiding a €15,000 penalty for delay.
24/7 Availability, Zero Overhead
Our team has reclaimed 14.7 hours per week in productive drafting time—equivalent to 1.8 full-time draftsman hours. One CAD technician in Nantes reported completing 17 additional dessin de détail tasks in Q3 alone, directly attributed to no longer being interrupted by phone calls. This has allowed us to reduce project turnaround time by an average of 19% across all bureau d'études projects.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing up to 3 projects per month because clients couldn’t reach us during evening hours when they were finalizing <a href='https://www.challenges.fr/economie/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>plan de construction</a> submissions. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured 5 high-value contracts in just 4 months—each worth over €200,000. The AI even remembers past <a href='https://www.challenges.fr/economie/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>échelle de dessin</a> requests and references them in follow-ups, making clients feel like we’ve been tracking their project from day one.”

“I used to lose 3–4 hours a week just answering calls about <a href='https://www.challenges.fr/economie/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>fichier DWG</a> delivery or scheduling. Now, the AI handles all those inquiries and even sends automated status updates. Last month, I completed a full <a href='https://www.challenges.fr/economie/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>modélisation 3D</a> for a luxury villa in Cannes 2 days ahead of schedule—thanks to uninterrupted focus. The AI even flagged a client’s previous request for a 1:50 <a href='https://www.challenges.fr/economie/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>échelle de dessin</a> and pre-filled it in the new request—no manual input needed.”

“Our client intake has doubled since using the AI. One major client in Toulouse, who had previously chosen a competitor due to slow responses, came back after the AI answered their call at 8:47 PM and scheduled a meeting before we even opened the next morning. The AI remembers past projects, like the <a href='https://www.challenges.fr/economie/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>plan de masse</a> we did for their office complex in 2022, and references it—clients say it feels personal, not automated.”
