Bookings & calendar
Coordinate consultant meetings and site visits
Finding times across engineers, builders and clients is a scheduling job an agent handles well.
Documents
Prepare and revise drawing sets and specifications
Software already does much of the drafting. Agents can help with schedules and spec text, but design intent stays with the architect.
Compile permit submission packs and document registers
Assembling the right files, versions and forms into a submission is checklist work.
Write fee proposals and scope letters
An agent can draft from past proposals. The architect sets scope and price.
Respond to builder requests for information during construction
An agent can locate the relevant drawing and draft a response. The answer must be the architect's decision.
Research
Check planning controls and building code clauses for a site
An agent can find and summarise the relevant rules quickly. The architect must interpret them for the design.
Content
Write project descriptions for the website and awards
An agent can draft from the brief and photos. The architect's own voice should shape the final text.
