N° 01 — Client case — Architecture firm Architecture · Wallonia

One single app that

Five architects, dozens of sites running in parallel, reports piling up. We merged everything — sites, reports, schedules and invoicing — into one bespoke application that gives five hours back to each architect every week.

N° 02 — Context & challenge

Recognised expertise.
Evenings devoured by admin.

An independent architecture firm in Wallonia: five architects, one administrative assistant, dozens of sites running in parallel. A loyal client base — but a documentary workload that was eating into their evenings. Every site visit generated a report to write by hand, every month a schedule to rebuild from scratch, every invoice a manual chase. Partners were home by 7 pm… then back on Word until 10 pm.

01

Reports that took hours

Every site visit ended with 60 to 90 minutes of transcription in Word. Handwritten notes to decipher, photos to sort, formatting to redo every single time. Reports that sometimes went out 4 days after the visit.

~90 min / report
02

Fragmented schedules and rounds

A shared Google Calendar "more or less" up to date, an Excel spreadsheet for the sites, post-it notes on the desk. Nobody really knew who was where or which site had priority. Result: duplicates, missed visits, and Friday-evening stress.

Excel + post-its
03

Late invoicing, forgotten follow-ups

The assistant invoiced from an Excel file, based on figures passed on manually by each architect. Average lag: 15 days between the work and the invoice. And follow-ups? "When I remember to."

~15 days lag

Not off-the-shelf software.
A tool built for architects.

02

AI-generated smart reports

On site, the architect dictates observations, takes photos, ticks off check points. AI assembles everything in the firm's format: branded layout, photos sorted and captioned, key alerts highlighted, sent to the client in one click after review. The human always has the final say.

03

Schedules & rounds

Rounds optimised by geolocation, shared real-time view. Time spent on each site is logged automatically, ready for invoicing.

04

Integrated invoicing

One-click invoice generation from logged hours, then automatic, polite follow-up reminders at Day 30 and Day 45. The assistant no longer chases anyone for details.

05

Training to full independence

Individual training for each architect and the assistant. By the time we left, no one needed us any more — complete autonomy was the goal, and it was achieved.

N° 04 — Before / After

Concretely,
in their day-to-day.

Writing a site report

~90 min → ~12 min
Before

~90 minutes in the evening at the desk: handwritten notes to decipher, photos to sort, formatting to redo.

After

~12 minutes, directly from the site. AI assembles, the architect reviews and approves.

Report delivery time to client

3–5 days → same day
Before

3 to 5 days between the visit and sending the report to the client.

After

Same day — the client receives the report before the architect is even home.

Team schedule view

Real-time
Before

Excel + post-its. Nobody really knew who was where or which site had priority.

After

A real-time view shared across the whole firm. No more duplicates or missed items.

Invoicing delay

~15 days → Day 1
Before

~15 days after the job, from an Excel file fed manually.

After

Day 1, one click, from hours already logged on site.

Client follow-ups

Automatic
Before

Down to the assistant's memory — "when I think of it".

After

Automatic and polite, sent at Day 30 and Day 45 with no manual intervention.

Tools used daily

5 → 1
Before

Word + Excel + Drive + Calendar + Email, never in sync with each other.

After

One single application that does it all, on every screen.

N° 06 — Key takeaway

One tool, built for the architect's trade — not off-the-shelf software you have to bend to fit your workflow. AI handles the repetitive work, humans keep the judgement. And every member of the firm was trained to full independence.
