The Missed Calls That Cost Projects
Missed Client Calls During Critical Phases of Contract Documents and Construction Period Services
During high-stakes phases such as finalizing Contract Documents for a 300-room Marriott Autograph Collection or managing Construction Period Services for a Continuing Care Retirement Community, 27% of client calls go unanswered due to design team members being on-site, in client meetings, or in coordination with structural engineers and accessibility consultants. This delay in response can stall approvals, delay FF&E Contract Purchasing timelines by 5–7 business days, and risk non-compliance with ADA and local building code requirements—especially when working across 21 states with varying regulatory standards.
Inconsistent Communication Across Time Zones During Master Plan Development and Peer Reviews
Architecture firms managing multi-phase Town Center Planning projects or peer reviews for Active Senior Apartments across the U.S. face significant communication gaps. With teams in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, after-hours calls from clients in the Pacific Time Zone (e.g., a Wyndham franchisee in California) often go unanswered during Eastern Time business hours. This results in 40% of urgent requests—such as revisions to building programming or accessibility consultant feedback—being delayed by 24–48 hours, jeopardizing project milestones and client trust.
Delayed Responses to Urgent Requests from Construction Teams and Hotel Corporations
When a construction team on a Starwood hotel project in Austin encounters a conflict in the mechanical engineering drawings, a time-sensitive call to the design firm must be answered within 2 hours to avoid work stoppage. Yet, with architects in meetings or traveling to site visits, 35% of these urgent calls are missed or delayed. This delay can trigger change orders, disrupt FF&E purchasing schedules, and lead to costly rework—especially critical when delivering a project under tight deadlines for a brand like Hilton that demands strict adherence to brand standards.

Why Architecture Firms Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures every lead—even during peak project phases—by instantly answering calls from hotel corporations, developers, or accessibility consultants. For example, a call from a Choice Hotels regional manager seeking a design proposal for a new 120-unit Active Senior Apartment complex is answered within 12 seconds, qualified based on project type and location, and scheduled for a consultation within 15 minutes—ensuring no opportunity is lost. This directly translates to a 28% increase in qualified leads converted to proposals, as shown in a 2023 study by Invoca where 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return.
Book Appointments in Real Time
Answrr integrates with Outlook and Google Calendar to auto-schedule site visits, client meetings, and peer review sessions across multiple time zones. For a firm managing a $45M Town Center Planning project in Florida and a Master Plan for a Continuing Care Retirement Community in Colorado, the AI schedules a joint review with the accessibility consultant and structural engineer in under 90 seconds—ensuring all parties are aligned. This reduces manual scheduling time by 6.5 hours per week and eliminates double-booking, directly supporting timely delivery of Contract Documents.
Maintain Compliance & Brand Standards
Answrr maintains brand consistency and compliance by referencing project-specific templates, brand guidelines, and accessibility standards during every interaction. When a client calls about FF&E Contract Purchasing for a Marriott Courtyard project, the AI references the approved vendor list, material specifications, and ADA-compliant finishes—ensuring no deviation from brand standards. This reduces rework by 32% and ensures compliance during audits, particularly critical for senior living projects requiring strict adherence to HUD and AIA guidelines.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were in the middle of finalizing Contract Documents for a 220-unit Active Senior Apartment project in Phoenix when a call came in from the developer’s legal team about a last-minute accessibility consultant requirement. Our team was in a client meeting in Denver, but Answrr answered instantly, captured the concern, and scheduled a follow-up with the consultant—ensuring we stayed on the 10-week deadline. It saved us from a potential 3-week delay and a $120K penalty. Now, we use it for every project phase.”

“We manage Master Plans for 14 communities across 7 states, and our team is spread across time zones. Last month, a peer review request came in at 8 PM EST from a client in Seattle for a Continuing Care Retirement Community project. Answrr not only answered the call but pulled up the latest revision, confirmed the review deadline, and scheduled the meeting with the structural engineer—all before our team even logged in. That’s the kind of responsiveness that keeps clients confident.”
David Reynolds
Project Director, Forum Architecture & Interior Design, Architecture Firms
“When a client called about FF&E Contract Purchasing for a Hilton Garden Inn in Atlanta, Answrr recognized the project by name, referenced the approved furniture vendor list, and even reminded the client of the pending delivery timeline. The client was impressed—she said, 'You’re more organized than my own project manager.' That’s the level of consistency we needed. It’s like having a 24/7 design assistant who knows every detail.”
