Architecture & Design

Design the building. Let AI draft the paperwork.

Submissions, minutes, fee proposals and site reports handled, so your hours go to the design and the client.

Where the hours actually go.

01

Authority submissions are paperwork-heavy

Every BCA and URA submission comes with checklists, forms and cover letters. The QP signature takes a minute; assembling the package takes hours.

02

Meeting minutes and RFIs pile up

Site meetings, consultant coordination and client reviews each generate minutes and action lists. Writing them accurately after a long day is slow, and a missed RFI answer stalls the work.

03

Fee proposals take evenings

Every new enquiry wants a tailored proposal with scope, stages and fees. Writing each one from scratch loses you the job or the weekend.

04

Consultant coordination by inbox

Structural, M&E and landscape inputs arrive across email, WhatsApp and shared drives. Tracking what is current and what is superseded is a job by itself.

Questions architects actually ask.

Will AI replace architects?

No. Design judgement, the QP signature and the client relationship stay human. What AI removes is the documentation layer: submissions, minutes, reports and proposals. Your BOA registration and your name on the drawings are not replaceable.

Does it help with BCA and URA submissions?

The submission checker assembles your package against the authority checklist and flags gaps. The QP still reviews and signs everything; it just removes the clerical hunt for missing forms.

Can it draft fee proposals in my format?

It learns from your past proposals: your stages, your fee structure, your tone. You review and adjust scope and pricing before anything goes to the client.

Is this for solo practitioners or larger firms?

Both. A solo QP uses it for submissions, proposals and invoicing. A firm adds consultant coordination and client portals across projects. Pricing scales with the seats you need.

How much does it cost for a small practice?

The core tools are in the standard plan. Most practices cover it with a single recovered billable hour a week.
