Architecture Firm
How architecture firms should automate WhatsApp
Homeowners send a Pinterest board and ask for a quote on a full renovation without site address, council zone, or budget range. Principals meet tire-kickers because intake never happened. Vermoss Flow captures project type, site location, budget band, and timeline, then books discovery calls for leads that fit your studio capacity.
Project briefs arrive with site photos and budget band. Discovery calls book for viable residential and commercial leads.
How this works at your scale
Solo or owner led
Solo architect with selective projects. Brief intake and discovery booking between site visits.
Small team
Studio with project architects and admin. Intake routes commercial vs residential paths.
Multi site or larger
Multi-office firm with sector teams. Region branch sends lead to local director inbox.

- Quotes requested before site context or budget discussed
- Commercial RFQs mixed with small residential extensions
- Site photos arrive without address or erf number
