AI Receptionist for Architects

Capture Project Enquiries & Book Site Visits Automatically

Handle project enquiries, qualify by property type, budget and scope, and schedule site visits or studio meetings while you focus on the design work.

The problem

• Calls come during site visits and client meetings
• Project enquiries need quick response to win contracts
• Difficult to qualify scope and budget while on site
• After-hours calls from builders and clients go unanswered
• Follow-up with interested prospects gets delayed

What it does

• 24/7 project enquiry handling
• Project type qualification — residential, commercial, renovation
• Budget range and timeline capture
• Site visit and studio meeting scheduling
• WhatsApp confirmations with firm details
• Portfolio and past project information sharing
• Builder and contractor call routing
• Follow-up campaigns for interested leads

How it works

1. Prospect Calls - AI answers with professional studio greeting
2. Project Qualified - Type, location, budget, and timeline captured
3. Meeting Scheduled - Site visit or studio consultation booked
4. Confirmed - WhatsApp with meeting details + portfolio link

Results

• 24/7 - Project enquiries answered
• WhatsApp - Site-visit confirmation
• 4 - Languages on one call

Enquiries arrive while you are on site

An architect's phone rings during the site visit, the client presentation and the municipal meeting - and the caller is a prospective client who will try one more firm if nobody answers. The agent answers, captures the project - plot or building, residential or commercial, size, location, stage - books a site visit or a studio meeting into the firm's calendar, and sends the portfolio link on WhatsApp.

Qualifying a project on the phone

Enough to decide whether the meeting is worth an afternoon, no more.

• Type: new build, renovation, interiors-only, or a regulatory drawing
• Scale: plot size or built-up area, number of floors
• Stage: idea, land bought, drawings needed for approval, contractor already on site
• Timeline and, if you route on it, a budget band
• Then the meeting, booked and confirmed

What it will not do

It does not quote fees you have not published, give design or structural opinions, or comment on regulations. It captures, qualifies and books; the architect does the rest.

Residential, commercial and the ones in between

The first useful split on an architecture enquiry is not budget, it is what kind of building it is, because that decides whether the call is worth a principal's time at all. A single-plot house, an apartment interior, a commercial fit-out and an institutional project want different first conversations. The agent asks the plot or built-up area, the location and the intended use, and records the approval stage if the caller volunteers one - because a project with a sanctioned plan is a different proposition from a plot bought last month.

• Project type - residential plot, apartment, commercial fit-out, institutional
• Plot area or built-up area, and the location
• Approval stage if mentioned: plot purchased, plan under sanction, sanctioned
• Whether they are looking for full services or drawings only
• Timeline, which on a building project is the honest test of intent

Drawings, approvals and the questions it will not answer

There is a clear line here and the agent stays on the right side of it. It does not quote a fee for a project, because no honest practice quotes one before seeing the site and the brief. It does not comment on FSI, setbacks, height limits, sanction timelines or whether a particular local authority will approve something - those are professional judgements with liability attached, and an approximate answer from a phone agent is worse than no answer. It says the architect will confirm, and it books the conversation where that can happen properly.

Handing over to the principal

Most practices are one or two principals and a handful of staff, and the phone competes directly with site visits and drawing time. The point is not that the agent replaces that conversation - it is that the conversation happens when you are at a desk rather than on scaffolding. Anything urgent, anyone who asks for you by name, and any existing client goes straight through to the number you nominate. Everything else arrives as a written enquiry with the basics already captured, which you can read in two minutes between site visits.
