AI Receptionist for Architecture Firms. Never miss a project lead.

An AI receptionist for architecture firms is an intelligent virtual assistant that handles incoming calls 24/7, qualifies project leads, schedules design consultations, and manages client communications. It understands architecture terminology including project types (residential, commercial, institutional), RFP inquiries, site visit coordination, and can gather essential project details like scope, budget range, and timeline before connecting prospects with firm principals.

The AI voice receptionist asks strategic qualifying questions including project type, location, approximate square footage, budget range, design style preferences, timeline, and how they discovered your firm. It captures this information systematically and prioritizes leads based on your criteria—ensuring architects spend time with prospects who are ready to invest in professional architectural services rather than tire-kickers.

The AI identifies itself as a virtual assistant for your firm and focuses on helping callers efficiently. Most prospective clients appreciate getting immediate help rather than leaving a voicemail or being placed on hold. The experience is professional and conversational.

You configure escalation rules based on project phase, client priority, and architect availability.
