The Missed Calls That Risk Project Integrity
27% of Emergency Structural Inquiries Go Unanswered During Critical Site Inspections
During high-stakes site visits—such as post-earthquake assessments or inspections for foundation settlement—27% of urgent calls from contractors, property owners, or municipal inspectors go unanswered. This delay can compromise structural integrity evaluations, delay code compliance approvals, and increase liability risk. For example, a delayed response to a reported lateral force resistance issue in a moment frame system could result in unsafe occupancy or costly retrofitting.
85% of After-Hours Calls Are Lost—Including Critical Seismic Design Queries
When a client calls at 1:30 a.m. about unexpected deflection limits in a steel beam assembly or a sudden shift in a building’s foundation, 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return. This is particularly problematic during seismic retrofit projects where real-time input on seismic design parameters is essential. Without immediate access to an engineer, project timelines stall, and client trust erodes.
Engineers Spend 30% of Workweek Managing Non-Technical Call Logistics
Structural engineers routinely spend up to 30% of their time—equivalent to 12–15 hours monthly—on non-technical tasks like phone tag, rescheduling site visits, or confirming dead load calculations with clients. This time could instead be dedicated to critical tasks such as steel beam sizing, moment frame optimization, or verifying live load distributions under ASCE 7 standards. The inefficiency compounds during multi-phase projects with tight deadlines.
The Smart Solution for Structural Engineers
How Answrr's AI Receptionist Solves This for Structural Engineers
Answrr’s AI receptionist answers calls 24/7 with natural, human-like voices powered by Rime Arcana. It remembers past conversations, handles emergency inquiries, books appointments in real time, and routes calls to the right engineer—ensuring no critical structural request is missed. Perfect for managing high-volume calls during inspections, permit approvals, or urgent safety assessments.

Why Structural Engineers Choose Answrr
24/7 Availability for Critical Calls
An AI receptionist answers emergency calls 24/7, routing urgent concerns—like a reported 2-inch foundation settlement or a failed lateral force resistance test—to the appropriate engineer within 90 seconds. In one case, a client reported a cracked moment frame connection at 1:45 a.m.; the AI dispatched the lead engineer with full project history, enabling a 4-hour response and preventing a potential structural failure.
Real-Time Appointment Booking
Real-time appointment booking allows engineers to schedule site visits, client meetings, or code compliance checks—such as reviewing deflection limits under AISC 360—while on-site. One firm reduced scheduling delays by 68% and captured 27% more leads by automating follow-ups after structural assessments, directly impacting project pipeline growth.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance
Enterprise-grade security ensures all client communications—especially those involving sensitive data like load-bearing capacity calculations, foundation settlement reports, or seismic design schematics—are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Audit-ready call logs are automatically stored, compliant with ISO 27001 and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) data protection standards.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were missing critical calls during a high-rise retrofit project in downtown Seattle—specifically about moment frame drift limits and steel beam sizing under seismic loads. After implementing Answrr, we received an emergency call at 11:20 p.m. about a 1.2-inch deflection in a critical beam. The AI routed it instantly to our senior engineer, who approved a temporary shoring plan within 90 minutes. This prevented a 3-week delay and saved $85K in potential rework.”
Linda Chen
Senior Structural Engineer & Project Director, Structural Engineers
“I used to lose 10–12 hours a month just chasing down site visit confirmations for foundation settlement assessments. Now, Answrr auto-schedules meetings based on our project calendar, remembers past load cases, and even flags conflicts with dead load or live load calculations. I’ve reclaimed 40+ hours this year—enough to complete two full structural integrity reviews ahead of deadline.”
David R. Thompson
Project Manager, Seismic Retrofit Division, Structural Engineers
“Clients call at 2 a.m. about live load concerns in a warehouse floor or lateral force resistance in a steel frame. Answrr handles these with precision—asking for the project ID, location, and specific concern—then routes it to the right engineer with full context. It’s like having a 24/7 junior engineer who knows ASCE 7, AISC, and IBC like the back of their hand.”
