The problem

Why architectural practices miss so many calls

A homeowner planning an extension rings three practices and engages the one that felt easiest to talk to.

When the phone rings out

  • during client meetings and site visits
  • evenings, when homeowners ring
  • in small practices with nobody on reception

What they are ringing about

  • extensions and planning applications
  • fees and how the stages work
  • whether a project is likely to get permission

What that costs a single site

£96,000

a month, on conservative assumptions

About 14 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 5 a week, and one customer is worth £4,800 to a architectural practice. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.

What it does

Built around how a architectural practice actually works

Takes project enquiries with the property and the idea

Explains your fee structure and stages

Books initial consultations

Screens out enquiries below your minimum

It tells callers what it is

It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a architectural practice that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.

Questions

What architectural practices ask us

Can it screen small enquiries?

Yes. It asks about the project type and scale and politely declines anything under your minimum, which saves the conversation you did not want.

Will it advise on planning?

Never. It captures the project and books the consultation where that judgement belongs.

Does it suit a small practice?

Particularly. A two person practice has nobody on reception and loses enquiries worth thousands to a voicemail.

Hear it answer a architectural practice call

Ring the number and ask it the awkward question your customers always ask. If you like what you hear, it will book you in there and then.
