Architect Fee Proposal Generation Agent
Drafts tailored architecture fee proposals by matching project scope, square footage, and complexity to firm rate cards and historical benchmarks for accurate pricing.
Principals and business development staff at architecture firms spend hours manually assembling fee proposals, pulling comparable project data, adjusting hourly rate cards, and formatting scope narratives for each prospective client, often under tight RFP deadlines
Inconsistent proposal formatting and pricing logic across staff can undercut margins or lose credibility with sophisticated clients
This agent ingests project scope details and automatically generates a structured fee proposal, benchmarking against similar past projects and applying the firm's current rate card and phase-based fee allocation, freeing principals to focus on client relationships instead of spreadsheet assembly
The agent takes in project intake details such as building type, square footage, site conditions, and design complexity, then queries the firm's historical project database for comparable fee benchmarks. It applies the current billing rate card and standard phase breakdown (schematic design, design development, construction documents, construction administration) to generate a fee schedule, drafts a scope narrative tailored to the project type, and compiles the full proposal document for principal review before client delivery.
