The Missed Calls That Cost Projects
Missed Urgent Calls During Site Inspections Lead to Lost Projects
When structural engineers are on-site conducting a structural integrity assessment or evaluating a moment connection in a high-rise building, clients calling about critical issues—like unexpected deflection limits or foundation settlement analysis—hang up after hearing a voicemail. With 78% of clients refusing to leave voicemails, these missed opportunities directly impact project acquisition. For example, a client calling at 10:30 a.m. about a suspected shear wall design flaw during a renovation project may never return if they can’t reach your team, resulting in a lost $120K commercial retrofit contract.
After-Hours Emergencies Delay Critical Safety Interventions
Structural engineers often receive emergency calls at night or on weekends—such as a client reporting a sudden crack in a moment frame or concerns about dead load vs. live load distribution in a multi-story building. With 58% of engineers using personal phones for business, response delays are common. A 2 a.m. call about a potential seismic retrofitting issue in a historic school building could result in a 48-hour delay in assessment, increasing liability and risking structural failure during an aftershock.
12 Hours Weekly Lost to Non-Design Tasks Like Call Management
Structural engineers spend an average of 12 hours per week managing client calls—scheduling foundation settlement analysis appointments, clarifying composite slab design specs, or confirming site visit times. This time could otherwise be spent on critical design work, such as optimizing moment connections for lateral loads or performing detailed deflection limits calculations. For a mid-sized firm with 8 engineers, this adds up to 96 hours of lost billable time per week—equivalent to over 2 full-time engineers not working on projects.

Why Structural Engineers Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr’s AI agent answers every call within 3 seconds—ensuring no lead is lost during site visits or design meetings. For example, a client calling about a potential issue with a building’s load-bearing capacity during a weekend inspection receives an immediate response, gets their concern documented, and is scheduled for a structural integrity assessment within 15 minutes—meeting the 67% of clients who expect a response within that timeframe.
Book Site Visits & Consultations Automatically
Clients can now book site visits for foundation settlement analysis or seismic retrofitting directly through the call. The AI agent syncs with your calendar in real time, automatically blocking conflicts and sending confirmation emails with project-specific details—such as required access to structural steel beams or load test equipment. One firm reported a 41% increase in booked site visits within the first 6 weeks of implementation.
Secure, Professional, and Always On
With enterprise-grade encryption and 99.9% uptime, your firm’s sensitive project data—like moment frame design schematics or shear wall design calculations—is protected at all times. The system ensures compliance with ISO 27001 standards and never stores call recordings unless explicitly authorized, giving peace of mind during high-stakes projects such as hospital renovations or bridge rehabilitation.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing 2–3 leads per month during site inspections because clients couldn’t reach us. After implementing Answrr, our AI agent handled a call about a suspect moment connection in a 12-story mixed-use building at 7:15 p.m. It documented the issue, scheduled a structural integrity assessment for the next morning, and even pulled up the latest foundation settlement analysis report from our cloud. That client signed a $98K contract within 48 hours—something we’d never have captured before.”

“I used to spend 12 hours a week just managing calls—answering questions about dead load vs. live load distributions, scheduling composite slab design reviews, and confirming access for site inspections. Now, Answrr handles all of it. My team’s productivity has increased by 35%, and we’ve reduced administrative overhead by 50%. We’re now able to focus on complex projects like seismic retrofitting for schools and hospitals without being pulled away.”

“Last winter, a client called at 1:47 a.m. about a sudden sag in a steel moment frame in their warehouse. Our AI agent recorded the concern, verified the building’s structural history, scheduled a 6 a.m. site visit, and sent a summary to our team with photos and load data. We identified a foundation settlement issue before it became critical. The client was so impressed they referred two more commercial clients—totaling $210K in new work.”
