Pressure points

Key challenges for freelance architects

Agentic workflows remove friction across enquiries, approvals and site coordination.

Enquiry overload across channels

Clients contact you by WhatsApp, email and social DMs. Important decisions get buried and follow-ups slip through the cracks.

Unclear scope and slow approvals

Multiple revision rounds and missing approvals create scope creep and delay delivery timelines.

Site visit coordination

Scheduling visits, capturing measurements and sharing on-site photos with consultants is slow without a mobile workflow.

Manual proposals and billing

Rewriting proposals and chasing milestone payments wastes billable hours.

Ad hoc workflows

Without standard templates, projects follow different paths, leading to inconsistent delivery quality.

Low client visibility

Clients want frequent updates, but teams struggle to provide consistent, verifiable progress reports.
