Never miss a project opportunity again. Our AI voice receptionist answers every call instantly, qualifies leads, handles RFP inquiries, and books design consultations—so you can focus on creating exceptional architecture.
Industry research shows why every call matters in architecture
Your design expertise is exceptional—but clients cannot reach you when they need you most
When you are conducting site assessments, meeting with contractors, or presenting to clients, calls go to voicemail. High-value prospects with urgent projects call the next firm on their list.
Commercial RFPs and bid opportunities have tight deadlines. A missed call about a $500K municipal project could be your next signature work—lost to a competitor who answered.
Every phone call interrupts your creative flow. Architects spend hours recovering from interruptions during design development and construction documentation phases.
From first call to booked consultation in minutes
A potential client calls about a custom home project while you are on a site visit.
Gathers project type, scope, location, budget range, timeline, and design preferences.
Directs caller to relevant portfolio projects and captures which designs resonated.
Schedules design consultation and sends confirmation with preparation checklist.
"Thank you for calling Morrison Architecture Studio. I'm the firm's virtual assistant. How may I help you with your project today?"
"Hi, we're looking to build a modern custom home on a hillside lot we just purchased. We need an architect who specializes in challenging sites."
"That sounds like an exciting project! Our principals have extensive experience with hillside and challenging terrain designs. May I ask a few questions to help prepare for your consultation? What's the approximate square footage you're envisioning, and do you have a preliminary budget range in mind?"
"We're thinking around 4,500 square feet with a budget of $1.5 to $2 million for construction. We love the contemporary work we saw in your portfolio."
"Wonderful! That aligns perfectly with our firm's expertise. Principal architect Sarah Morrison has availability Thursday at 2 PM or Friday at 10 AM for an initial design consultation. Which works better for you? I'll also send you a checklist of what to bring, including any site surveys and inspiration images."
