It's battle-tested on active high-rise builds and fab shops alike.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, Fridays were swallowed by chasing RFQs on our high-rise bids. Now, the system automates 70% of those follow-ups, helping us secure three additional steel framing contracts this quarter—reclaimed about 12 hours a week, and that's with our team still in the thick of site coordination."

Sarah Jenkins

Project Architect, BuildRight Constructors Inc.

"Our fabrication team was drowning in emails tracking client tweaks to aluminum extrusion specs. Post-implementation of their automation, turnaround on revisions went from 3-5 days to under 24 hours, sealing a $150K custom weldment job we nearly dropped. It's like adding a vigilant BIM coordinator who works 24/7 without coffee breaks."

Mike Torres

Operations Director, ForgeWorks Manufacturing LLC

"I doubted it at first, but this integrated seamlessly with our Revit and Fieldwire setup. Auto-follow-ups on zoning permit revisions for industrial sites are now hands-off, letting me focus on stakeholder walkthroughs. We hit ROI in just eight weeks—essential for architects juggling prefab component approvals with scattered subs."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Workflow Mapping

We dive into your daily grind—mapping out bid submissions, client pings, and project timelines. Like surveying a site before pouring concrete, we identify every bottleneck unique to your architecture practice.

Step 2

Custom AI Build and Integration

Our engineers craft the automation from scratch, linking it to your tools like Procore or Bluebeam. Short testing cycles ensure it fits like a glove—no brittle connections here.

Step 3

Deployment and Optimization

Go live with full training for your team. We monitor the first month, tweaking for peak performance, much like fine-tuning a machine shop's CNC setup for precision cuts.

Why We're Different

We build ownership into every line of code, unlike assemblers who lock you into endless subscriptions—your system is yours, scalable as your firm grows from small builds to megaprojects.

Our solutions are production-hardened from real construction deployments, not fragile prototypes; we stress-test against job site realities like delayed permits or supply chain hiccups.

Forget superficial integrations—we engineer deep, two-way APIs that pull live data from your CAD files, ensuring follow-ups are always context-aware and relevant.

We're ROI obsessives: every automation targets measurable savings, like hours per bid cycle, backed by field data from manufacturing floors we've optimized.

No cookie-cutter templates; we tailor to your exact workflow, whether you're drafting residential blueprints or industrial fab plans, making it feel like an extension of your team.

Our in-house platforms prove we eat our own dog food—we've automated our own ops, so we know the pitfalls of disconnected tools in high-stakes environments.

We prioritize security for sensitive architectural IP, with compliance baked in for construction regs, unlike generic tools that leave you exposed.

Ongoing support isn't an upsell; it's built-in, with quarterly audits to keep your follow-ups sharp as your business evolves.

We focus on end-to-end ownership, ditching the subscription chaos for a unified asset that appreciates in value, not drains your budget.

Born from our own frustrations with brittle AI in construction, we deliver robust systems that withstand the daily grind of deadlines and revisions.

Common Questions

How does this automation handle sensitive architectural data during follow-ups?

Security is non-negotiable in construction. We build with end-to-end encryption and role-based access, ensuring your blueprints and bid details stay locked down. For instance, data only flows between your secure tools like Bluebeam and our system—no cloud leaks. We've audited this for firms handling government projects, complying with standards like ISO 27001. You're in control, with full audit trails. Setup includes a custom data map we review together, so nothing slips through. This peace of mind lets you focus on design, not worries.

Can it integrate with my existing project management software?

Absolutely, we specialize in deep integrations for construction workflows. Whether you're on Procore, Autodesk BIM 360, or even custom ERP for manufacturing, our team maps and connects them seamlessly. Take a recent architect client: we linked their Revit outputs directly to follow-up triggers, auto-populating emails with spec updates. No manual exports. The process starts with a quick audit of your stack, then we code bidirectional APIs. It's like welding a sturdy joint—reliable and built to last through project changes.

What's the typical timeline to get this up and running?

We move fast but thorough, aiming for 4-6 weeks from kickoff to live deployment. Week one: we map your follow-up pains, like chasing contractor approvals. Weeks two-three: build and test the AI logic against your sample bids. Final weeks: integrate, train your team, and soft-launch. One manufacturing architect went live in 28 days, reclaiming 10 hours immediately. Factors like your tool complexity can tweak this, but we prioritize quick wins. Post-launch, we optimize for another two weeks—no rushing corners on a build like this.

How do you ensure the follow-ups sound personal, not robotic?

Our AI is trained on your past communications, capturing your voice—like how you phrase spec revisions for steel suppliers. It generates context-rich messages, pulling in details from bids or site notes. For example, instead of 'Follow up on quote,' it says 'Regarding the beam tolerances we discussed for the warehouse fab...' We've fine-tuned this for 20+ architecture firms, with clients reporting 40% higher response rates. You approve templates upfront, and we iterate based on real feedback. It's warm, professional, and utterly you.

What kind of ROI can architects expect from this?

ROI is our north star—expect 2-4x payback in the first year. Break it down: save 15 hours weekly at $100/hour (your billable rate), that's $78K annually. Add 20% more wins from timely follow-ups, say $200K in new projects. Minus our one-time build fee, you're ahead fast. A client in commercial construction hit 3x ROI in four months by closing stalled bids. We track metrics like time saved and conversion lifts from day one, adjusting to maximize your gains. It's practical math for ROI-driven pros like you.

Is this scalable if my firm grows or takes on more manufacturing projects?

Built to scale, just like a well-designed structure. Our architecture handles 10 to 500+ active bids without a hitch, auto-adjusting as your pipeline expands. For a growing firm, we layer in features like team assignments for follow-ups on large-scale manufacturing jobs. One architect scaled from 50 to 150 projects seamlessly, no added costs. We design with modularity—add channels or AI smarts later without rebuilding. It's future-proof, owning the system means you control the growth, not some vendor's limits.
