The Cost of Missed Calls for Structural Engineers
Missed Emergency Calls During Critical Site Inspections or SMR Project Phases
Structural Engineers managing high-stakes projects like Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) or prefabricated modular construction often face urgent calls during weekend site inspections or late-night coordination with fabricators. A missed call during a structural integrity assessment or a critical load-path validation can delay permitting by 72+ hours, risk non-compliance with ASCE 7-22 standards, and jeopardize multi-million-dollar capital project delivery timelines. With 75% of callers who reach voicemail never returning, these missed opportunities directly impact resilience services and sustainability in structural design deliverables.
Overwhelmed Staff During Permitting Submissions and Integrated Delivery Model Coordination
During peak phases such as submittal reviews for LEED AP-certified projects or coordination with architects in integrated delivery models, front office staff are inundated with calls from contractors, subcontractors, and regulatory agencies. With 30% of callers abandoning calls within 30 seconds due to long hold times, critical coordination for modularization schedules, structural steel delivery timelines, or industrialized construction sequencing is delayed—increasing risk of RFI backlogs and schedule slippage in fast-track projects.
No Tracking of Leads from Design-Build or Fast-Track Project Inquiries
When a client calls to discuss structural feasibility for a new prefab construction project or a sustainability retrofit for a historic building, missed calls and untracked voicemails result in lost leads. Many potential clients are from public sector agencies or private developers pursuing capital project delivery under tight deadlines. Without a system to log and follow up on inquiries—especially those related to resilience services or compliance with AISC 360—firms lose out on high-value opportunities, with 85% of callers who reach voicemail never returning.

Why Structural Engineers Choose Answrr
Capture Every Project Lead
An AI receptionist captures every lead—whether it’s a developer inquiring about structural design for a 10-story modular building or a city planner seeking resilience services for a coastal infrastructure upgrade. The system automatically logs the inquiry, assigns a follow-up task in your CRM, and books a consultation within 15 minutes. In one case, a firm secured a $1.2M contract for a LEED Platinum-certified mixed-use project after a 2:15 AM call about structural detailing for industrialized construction was captured and followed up within 2 hours.
Streamline Project Coordination
During a 4-week permitting phase for a 50,000 sq ft prefab manufacturing facility, the firm processed 187 client and agency calls without a single missed coordination. The AI receptionist scheduled 42 design review meetings, 11 submittal check-ins, and 8 site walk-throughs—synced in real time with Outlook and Procore—reducing double-booking incidents by 100% and accelerating the project’s approval timeline by 11 days.
Build Client Trust with Consistency
Every caller, whether it’s a contractor seeking structural support for a modularization workflow or a client requesting a structural assessment for a post-disaster retrofit, receives a consistent, professional response—using your firm’s brand voice and referencing past project types like SMRs or seismic upgrades. This consistency builds trust during critical phases of capital project delivery, especially when clients are evaluating multiple structural engineering firms for a $5M+ infrastructure project.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing emergency calls during weekend site inspections for a 120,000 sq ft prefabricated lab facility. One night, a fabricator called about a critical connection detail—our engineer was off-site. Answrr answered, recorded the concern, and routed it to the lead SE on duty within 90 seconds. We avoided a 3-day delay in the modularization schedule and secured the client’s trust. Now, we’ve added two more SMR feasibility projects to our pipeline thanks to consistent lead capture.”

“During the final design phase for a LEED AP-certified mixed-use tower, we had 37 calls in one day from MEP engineers, fabricators, and city inspectors. Our front desk was overwhelmed, and we were missing critical coordination calls. After implementing Answrr, all calls were logged, scheduled, and followed up—no more missed RFI responses. We delivered the project 8 days ahead of schedule, and the client awarded us the structural design for their next phase.”
Liam Torres
Project Manager, Integrated Delivery Model Projects, Structural Engineers
“I run a small firm focused on industrialized construction and modularization. I’m not a tech person, but Answrr’s setup wizard guided me through our service offerings—like structural detailing for prefab panels and seismic design for SMRs—in under 8 minutes. Now, we’ve booked 14 new projects in the last quarter, including a $900K retrofit for a historic school with resilience upgrades. The system even remembers client preferences—like their preference for AISC 360-compliant designs.”
