You got into architecture to design buildings, not to chase council feedback. AI agents handle client communication, consultant coordination, council submission tracking, and project scheduling – so your team spends more time on design and less time buried in admin.
48%of architect time on non-design workNearly half of an architect’s working hours go to project admin, client communication, and documentation — not the design work they trained for.
$200-400per hour of unbilled principal timeWhen principals and senior architects spend hours on RFP responses, meeting scheduling, and project updates, that’s $200-400 per hour in design fees not being earned.
30%of projects experience scope creepUnclear scope boundaries and slow change-order documentation mean nearly a third of architectural projects experience unbilled scope creep.
The reality today
Every RFP response written by a principal instead of delegated to AI is $200-400 per hour of design revenue lost. You’re running six projects at once. The structural engineer on the apartment job hasn’t returned the RFI from two weeks ago. Council sent an additional information request on the DA and it’s buried in someone’s inbox. The client wants to know when CD drawings will be ready, and your project architect is too deep in Revit to answer emails. Fee stage invoices go out late because nobody tracked that DD was signed off last month.
RFIs get chased automatically. Council submission status is tracked and flagged when action is needed. Clients receive regular project updates without anyone drafting an email. Fee stage invoices go out the moment milestones are reached. Your architects focus on designing – the coordination runs itself.

How AI agents help architecture practices
Every coordination task that pulls your architects away from design, handled automatically.
Client Communication & Approvals
Design presentations sent on schedule. Revision requests logged and tracked. Sign-off reminders sent at the right time. Clients stay informed with regular project updates – without your project architect spending half the day writing emails instead of drawing.
Consultant Coordination
Structural, hydraulic, landscape, and every other consultant – tracked in one place. RFIs sent and chased. Drawing review deadlines monitored. When the structural engineer is two days late on their response, the agent follows up before you even notice the deadline passed.
Council & Authority Submission Tracking
DA lodged? The agent tracks it. Additional information request from council? Flagged immediately with a deadline. CDC or complying development? Milestones tracked through to determination. No more checking the planning portal every few days hoping for an update.
Project Milestones & Fee Stage Invoicing
SD, DD, CD phase tracking with clear milestone dates. When a phase is signed off, the corresponding fee stage invoice is triggered automatically. No more chasing project architects to confirm whether DD is actually complete so you can bill for it.
Drawing & Document Management
Revision control across all project documents. Distribution lists managed automatically – when new drawings are issued, the right people get the right version. Filing follows your practice’s naming conventions. No more emailing the wrong revision to the builder.
New Project Enquiry & Proposal Preparation
When a new enquiry comes in, the agent collects project details, site information, and scope before it reaches your desk. Proposal templates are populated with the right data. You spend your time assessing the project, not filling in cover sheets.
Up and running in under an hour
No IT department needed. No coding. Just tell the agent what to handle.
1
Connect Google Workspace and your project tools
Link your Google Workspace for email, calendar, and document management. Connect Slack for internal communication. Add webhooks for your project management and time-tracking systems. Credentials are encrypted and stored securely in your isolated environment.
2
Set your coordination and tracking rules
Define your practice’s logic in plain English – “chase consultants 2 days before their deadline, send client project updates every Friday, trigger fee stage invoice when phase sign-off is received, flag any council additional information request immediately.”

Consultants get chased, clients stay informed, deadlines hold
RFIs are followed up automatically. Council submissions are tracked. Clients receive updates without anyone drafting them. Fee invoices go out when milestones are hit. Your practice runs tighter without adding admin headcount.
Sprigr Team integrates with Google Workspace, Slack, and connects via webhooks to your project management and time-tracking tools. Your existing workflows stay intact – the agent works alongside them, handling the coordination so your architects can focus on design.
AI agents handle the coordination work that pulls architects off design. They chase consultants, track council submissions, send client updates, manage project milestones, and trigger fee stage invoices – all the administrative tasks that eat into billable hours and cause projects to slip when they’re not managed tightly.
Can it track council DA and CDC submissions?
Yes. The agent tracks submissions from lodgement through to determination. Additional information requests are flagged with deadlines. Status changes are monitored so your team knows immediately when a DA is approved or when council needs something else. No more manually checking planning portals.
Does this replace our project management software?
No. Sprigr Team works alongside your existing tools. It connects via webhooks and integrates with Google Workspace and Slack. The agent reads from and writes to your current systems – it handles the follow-ups, reminders, and coordination that your PM tools track but don’t act on by themselves.
How does consultant coordination work?
You set deadlines and the agent monitors them. When an RFI is sent to the structural engineer, the agent tracks the response. If the deadline approaches and nothing has come back, it sends a follow-up. Drawing reviews, document submissions, and meeting actions are all tracked the same way – across every consultant on the project.
Is it hard to set up?
No. Most practices are up and running in under an hour. Connect your Google Workspace and communication tools, set your coordination rules in plain English, and the agent starts working. No coding, no IT team, no disruption to your current project workflows.
Architecture is too bespoke for automation – every project is unique.
Every project is unique, but the admin around it isn’t. RFP tracking, client meeting scheduling, milestone reminders, and invoice follow-ups follow the same pattern. Sprigr handles those so your architects focus on design.
