Our Custom Marketing Automation Built for Architects
We've helped over 50 architecture and engineering firms ditch the tool overload, creating unified AI systems that integrate Revit, AutoCAD, and your client database seamlessly.
Why Choose Us
Here's the thing: as an architect, you're already stretched thin between conceptual sketches and construction oversight. Manual marketing? It's like pouring concrete without a form – messy and inefficient. At AIQ Labs, we build a bespoke AI-powered engine tailored to your workflow. No off-the-shelf nonsense. We start by mapping your exact process – from lead capture at industry expos to nurturing relationships with developers – then code a single system that automates it all. Think AI that pulls project specs from your BIM tools to craft personalized pitches, schedules social updates on LEED certifications, and scores leads based on past bid wins. You're probably thinking, 'Will this fit my firm?' Absolutely, because we own the build from the ground up, ensuring it scales with your portfolio.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Tangible ROI in Weeks
Save 12+ Hours Weekly on Repetitive Tasks
Save 12+ Hours Weekly on Repetitive Tasks: Let's be honest, updating client lists after a busy permitting phase for high-rise foundations eats into your CAD modeling time. Our system automates data pulls from tools like Procore or Autodesk BIM 360, routing leads from site inspections directly to nurture sequences for steel supplier follow-ups. One manufacturing firm reclaimed 12 hours a week, redirecting it to optimize CNC machining processes – and saw a 28% uptick in high-value commercial fabrication bids within six months.
Boost Lead Conversion by 35% with Precision Targeting
Boost Lead Conversion by 35% with Precision Targeting: You're probably thinking your outreach feels generic amid fierce competition for urban redevelopment projects involving precast concrete elements. We craft AI that analyzes past client interactions – like response rates to proposals for energy-efficient HVAC integrations – to personalize emails and track engagement on blueprint shares. Efficiency gains mean your team closes deals faster, turning cold leads from trade shows into signed contracts for factory expansions without the guesswork, often within 30-45 days.
Cut Marketing Costs by 40% Through Unified Ownership
Cut Marketing Costs by 40% Through Unified Ownership: Ditch the subscription stack of email tools and analytics platforms that don't talk to each other, especially when syncing with field reporting apps. Our custom build creates an owned asset, slashing ongoing fees while integrating everything into one dashboard for monitoring campaign performance alongside Revit model revisions and material takeoff estimates. Imagine one architect reported $15K annual savings after consolidating, plowed back into hiring a junior drafter for sustainable prefab projects.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was spending Fridays just chasing down leads from our last concrete expo trade show, sifting through subcontractor emails. Now, the system auto-sends tailored follow-ups with 3D render links from our BIM models, and we've landed two mid-rise residential projects worth $1.2M in three months. It's like having an extra marketer without the payroll hit."
Elena Vasquez
Principal Architect, UrbanForge Construction & Design
"Our old setup meant manual tweaks to every newsletter about green building trends and low-VOC material specs. This automation pulls directly from our Revit files and schedules posts around fabrication milestones – saved us 10 hours a week, and client inquiries for sustainable factory retrofits jumped 25% after the first month."
Mark Thompson
Mark Thompson, Firm Owner, Thompson Steel Structures Manufacturing
"I was skeptical about AI handling our custom proposals for hospital expansions, but it now generates drafts based on past bids including MEP coordination details, cutting revision time in half from weeks to days. Closed a $2M addition project faster than ever, all while focusing on the actual structural design work."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with my existing design software like Revit?
Great question – integration is our specialty. We build custom APIs to pull data directly from Revit or AutoCAD, like model specs or renderings, into your marketing flows. For instance, when a lead inquires about sustainable offices, the AI auto-generates a pitch incorporating your latest green building models. No manual exports needed. We've done this for firms handling everything from high-rises to renovations, ensuring zero data loss during syncs. Setup takes about two weeks, and it scales as you add more projects. The result? Your marketing feels like an extension of your design process, saving hours on prep while keeping everything accurate and up-to-date.
What kind of time savings can I realistically expect for my small architecture team?
Let's be real: for a team of 5-10, you're likely burning 10-15 hours weekly on marketing busywork, like chasing leads or updating portfolios post-revision. Our custom system automates 80% of that – think auto-scheduling emails after site walkthroughs or generating social posts from blueprint approvals. One client, a boutique firm specializing in adaptive reuse, cut their admin to 2 hours a week within the first month, freeing up time for client pitches. ROI kicks in fast: expect payback in 3-6 months through higher billable hours and 20-30% more qualified leads. We tailor it to your workflow, so it's not generic – it's built for the ebb and flow of architectural deadlines.
Is this system secure for handling sensitive client project data?
Absolutely, security is non-negotiable in construction where bids and designs involve proprietary info. We architect your automation with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and compliance to standards like GDPR or even AIA ethics guidelines. Data from tools like Procore stays siloed until you approve flows, and AI processing happens on your owned infrastructure – no third-party clouds unless specified. We've secured systems for firms dealing with government contracts, preventing leaks during RFP seasons. Regular audits and updates keep it robust, so you focus on innovation, not vulnerabilities. If you're worried about NDA-bound residential plans, we can demo how it anonymizes details in outreach.
How customizable is the AI for different types of architecture projects?
Here's the thing: every architecture firm is unique – residential vs. commercial, or modern vs. historic preservation. We don't do templates; we map your exact needs, like automating content for LEED-certified builds or hospitality designs. The AI learns from your past campaigns, scoring leads on factors like budget fit for urban infills. For example, it can differentiate workflows for a quick retail pavilion bid versus a multi-year museum project. Customization happens in the build phase, with your input on triggers like 'post-permitting nurture.' Firms see tailored results immediately, with engagement rates climbing 40% because it speaks directly to client pain points, like timeline pressures in manufacturing-adjacent structures.
What's the ongoing cost after the initial build, and how do I measure ROI?
Upfront, we build once – no endless subscriptions. Maintenance is minimal, around 10-15% of build cost annually for updates, far less than juggling multiple tools. ROI? We embed tracking from day one: metrics like hours saved (e.g., 12/week via automated proposals), cost per lead drop (often 50% reduction), and conversion uplift (25-35% on average). Dashboard shows it all, tied to revenue from new commissions. One architect tracked a $50K project win directly from an automated follow-up sequence. We review quarterly to optimize, ensuring it pays for itself through efficiency and growth. If your firm's hitting subscription fatigue, this shifts you to ownership with clear, quantifiable wins.
Can this help with marketing to non-traditional clients, like manufacturers needing facility designs?
Yes, and it's a game-changer for diversifying beyond standard developer leads. We customize the AI to target manufacturing clients by enriching leads with data on facility needs, like warehouse expansions or production line layouts. It generates outreach highlighting your expertise in industrial BIM modeling, pulling from your portfolio. For instance, auto-nurture sequences can reference case studies on efficient plant designs, boosting response rates. We've helped firms pivot this way, landing 15% more cross-industry projects in the first year. The system adapts to your voice – practical, ROI-focused – ensuring messages resonate with pragmatic manufacturing pros facing tight build schedules.
