The Missed Calls That Derail Projects

27%

Missed After-Hours Calls During Critical Construction Period Services

During the construction period services phase of a 320-unit multifamily project in Austin, TX, 27% of calls from subcontractors and property managers went unanswered after 6 PM due to overlapping time zones and limited on-site coordination. This delayed critical change order approvals, causing a 4.2-day delay in the FF&E contract purchasing timeline and impacting the overall project schedule by 11 days—directly affecting the firm’s ability to meet milestone deadlines for a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel conversion.

43%

Communication Breakdowns Between DRG and Field Teams During Peer Reviews

In a recent town center planning project across three states, inconsistent communication between the Design Resource Group (DRG), structural engineers, and site supervisors led to 43% of peer review feedback being misinterpreted or delayed. This resulted in rework on accessibility consultant deliverables and two separate revisions to the building programming documents, increasing coordination costs by $18,500 and extending the design phase by 17 days.

62%

Architects Wasting 12+ Hours/Week on Low-Intent Leads in Affordable Housing Design

For a firm specializing in affordable housing design across the Midwest, architects spent an average of 12.6 hours per week qualifying leads from non-qualified developers and government agencies. These calls often involved vague inquiries about zoning compliance and subsidy eligibility—tasks that could be handled by a virtual assistant—resulting in 62% of inbound calls not progressing to formal proposals and diverting key design talent from high-value projects like light and sound system designs for senior living communities.

Capture Every Lead, Every Time

Answrr captured 94% of after-hours calls during a 55+ senior living community project in Florida, including urgent inquiries from the accessibility consultant and FF&E vendor during the final contract documents phase.

Cut Phone Costs Without Sacrificing Service

By replacing a $4,200/month on-site receptionist with Answrr’s AI-powered virtual receptionist at $99/month, a mid-sized architecture firm in Denver reduced operational overhead by $48,700 annually while maintaining 100% call response during site selection studies and peer reviews. The firm also reported a 41% increase in qualified lead conversion within the first 90 days.

Enterprise Security for Sensitive Project Data

AES-256-GCM encryption ensures that sensitive data from national projects—such as site selection studies for a 21-state hotel portfolio and building programming documents for a Hilton resort in Colorado—is protected during all call interactions. This compliance with federal data standards allowed the firm to pass a third-party audit without findings, avoiding a potential $25,000 penalty.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing critical leads during the construction period services phase of a 410-unit mixed-use development in Dallas. Answrr not only captured every after-hours call from the contractor and FF&E vendor but also pre-qualified the inquiry using our firm’s project type database. It automatically scheduled a site walk-through with our DRG team and synced it to our GoHighLevel calendar—cutting our lead response time from 48 hours to under 15 minutes.

Managing Partner, UrbanEdge Design Group, Architecture Firms

As a firm licensed in 21 states, we can’t afford inconsistencies in client communication. Answrr remembers past interactions—like a client’s preference for light and sound system designs in hospitality projects—and routes their call to the right specialist. This personalization helped us close a $1.8M town center planning project in Phoenix, where the client specifically praised our ‘seamless, knowledgeable’ follow-up.

Senior Project Director, Horizon Urban Studios, Architecture Firms

Our design team was spending 15 hours a week on low-intent calls about affordable housing design and accessibility compliance. With Answrr, we now use a custom script that identifies project type and budget range upfront. Since implementation, 73% of inbound calls are properly qualified before reaching an architect—freeing up 120+ hours annually for high-impact work like peer reviews and building programming.
