The Cost of Unanswered Calls

27%

Missed Urgent CAD & Revisions Requests During Peak Hours

During critical project phases—such as submitting construction documentation for permitting or finalizing MEP revisions—27% of incoming calls go unanswered. A client calling at 3:45 PM to request an urgent AutoCAD revision for a structural steel detail may hang up without leaving a voicemail, delaying the entire project timeline. Without immediate response, architectural firms risk missing submission deadlines, incurring penalties, or losing client trust—especially when revisions are needed within 2 hours for BIM model coordination.

12 hours

Delayed Responses to Time-Sensitive As-Built Drawing Requests

With 65% of architectural firms reporting project delays due to slow response times, a 12-hour average reply window for client inquiries on as-built drawings or change order documentation can derail construction schedules. For example, a contractor calling at 10:00 AM to confirm a revised HVAC routing in a BIM model may wait until 10:00 PM—by which time the site team has already moved forward, requiring costly rework and revalidation of MEP coordination.

37%

Lost Follow-Ups on High-Value Construction Documentation Requests

Without automated call tracking, 37% of drafting providers fail to follow up on client requests for complex construction documentation—such as structural detailing for a multi-story commercial building or detailed façade panel layouts. A client requesting a revised floor plan with updated load-bearing wall placements may never receive a confirmation, leading to misaligned deliverables and rework cycles that extend project timelines by 5–7 days.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing clients because we couldn’t answer calls during site visits or late-night BIM coordination sessions. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured 18 urgent revision requests in the last 90 days—many from contractors needing same-day AutoCAD updates for structural steel connections. Our project turnaround time improved by 22%, and we’ve secured three new commercial building contracts based on our new responsiveness.

Linda Chen

Owner & Lead Drafting Consultant, Draftsmen Services

I used to miss calls during peak hours when we were finalizing construction documentation for a 12-story mixed-use project. Now, when a client calls about a last-minute change order for the MEP routing in the basement, the AI logs it, assigns it to the correct drafter, and even references the project’s BIM model version. We’ve reduced client follow-up time from 12 hours to under 15 minutes—no more delays or rework.

Project Coordinator, Drafting & Documentation, Draftsmen Services

The AI remembers past clients and their project types—so when a client calls about a previous as-built drawing for a hospital renovation, it pulls up the project ID, revision history, and even the last drafter who worked on it. This continuity has saved us over 10 hours per month in onboarding new requests and reduced miscommunication errors by 40%.
