AI for Construction & Property Development

AI for Architects

Proposals, specifications, planning documents, and client communications swallow the hours that should be spent on design. We build custom AI agents that handle the business and admin layer of architecture practice so your studio can take on more good work without growing the back office.

The Problem

Where architecture & design firms
lose time and money

Fee proposals and tender responses

Every new opportunity starts with a fee proposal, capability statement, or PQQ response. The content is 70% the same project to project, but customising the last 30% takes a senior architect a day. Win rates drop when proposals go out late or thin. Practice growth bottlenecks here.

Specification writing and document control

NBS specifications, design and access statements, planning supporting statements, and consultant coordination documents all need writing, cross-referencing, and version-controlling. The work is detailed, error-sensitive, and not what you trained as an architect to do.

Planning application admin

Planning portal submissions, validation queries, neighbour consultation responses, and committee report follow-ups all happen across long timescales with multiple stakeholders. Things fall through the cracks, deadlines slip, and the project manager spends half their week chasing.

Client communication and progress reporting

Clients want updates. Stakeholders want updates. Contractors want updates. Each one needs a slightly different version of the same information, written in slightly different language. The architect ends up being the firm's email handler instead of its design lead.

The Solution

How Klevere AI
transforms your business

AI-drafted fee proposals from project briefs

Paste in a brief, RFP, or initial client conversation and the AI drafts a fee proposal using your practice's templates, prior similar projects, and current rate cards. Includes scope, fees, programme, and capability sections. A senior reviews and refines. Win-ready proposals in hours, not days.

Specification and document automation

AI reads your design data, room schedules, and material selections, then drafts NBS-style specifications, design and access statements, and supporting planning documents using your firm's standard language. Cross-references stay consistent. Versioning is automated. Errors drop.

Planning application copilot

AI tracks every live application, flags upcoming deadlines, drafts responses to validation queries and neighbour comments, and surfaces what each application is waiting on. Your project managers stop chasing and start managing.

Automated client and stakeholder updates

AI generates project status reports, stakeholder emails, and contractor briefings from the latest project data, in the right tone for each audience. The architect reviews and sends. Communication quality goes up, time spent goes down.

AI-powered precedent and detail search

Ask plain English questions across your firm's drawing archive, prior specs, and project knowledge base. The AI returns relevant detail drawings, specification clauses, and analogous projects with citations. Younger architects get up the curve faster, principals stop being walking precedent libraries.

We were turning down good work because we could not write the proposals fast enough. Now the AI gets a draft to me within an hour of the brief landing, and I refine the bits that matter. We have taken on three projects in the last quarter we would have lost otherwise.

FAQ

Common questions
from architecture & design firms

Yes. We integrate with Revit and ArchiCAD via their APIs, NBS Chorus and Source for specifications, Asta and MS Project for programmes, and Procore or Aconex for project management. The AI sits across your existing tools rather than replacing any of them.
Yes. We train it on the NBS structure and your firm's standard clauses, so output follows house style and references the right products and standards. A senior reviews every spec before issue, exactly as you would today, but the drafting time drops by 60-80%.
Every AI action is logged and attributable to a registered architect who reviewed it, satisfying ARB and RIBA accountability requirements. We design workflows so the architect makes every professional judgement; the AI handles the drafting around it.
The AI prepares the application package - drawings, statements, application form data - in the right format for the local authority's planning portal. It does not submit autonomously; a project lead reviews and submits manually so you remain in professional control.
No. Practices that deploy this keep their team and grow project throughput. Junior architects spend more time on design and detailing, less on documentation. The work the AI absorbs is the work nobody enjoyed doing anyway.
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, regional data residency options, and full data processing agreements. Each client's data is logically isolated, and we can sign whatever NDAs and DPAs your professional indemnity insurer requires.
Typically two to three weeks from kick-off to live workflows. We start with proposals and specs because they have the fastest payback, then add planning and client communications agents over the following months.
Every Klevere engagement is scoped and priced individually. After your free AI audit we define the exact agents, integrations, and rollout plan together, then put a tailored proposal in front of you. You get a number built around your business and your priorities, not a package price.
