Double Your Drafting Team's Output Without Doubling Your Liability
Architecture firms are squeezed between rising client expectations and compressing margins. ArchLab gives your team precision AI tools that accelerate schematic work without introducing risk.
Margin Compression Is Killing Small and Mid-Size Firms
The average architecture firm operates on 10-15% net margins. Meanwhile, schematic design and as-built documentation consume 30-40% of project hours. That is your most expensive staff spending their most expensive hours on work that AI should handle.
- Junior architects spend 60% of their time on drafting, not designing
- As-built site visits cost $800-2,000 per visit including travel and setup
- Revision cycles add 15-25% to project timelines
- Hiring is slow: the average architecture hire takes 4-6 months
The Math
$2,400
Average cost per as-built documentation (site visit + drafting)
$340
Same documentation with ArchLab (phone photos + AI extraction)
86% Reduction
In as-built documentation costs per project
Precision-First AI Built for Professional Liability
Unlike generative AI tools that guess and approximate, ArchLab uses deterministic extraction. Every dimension is measured, not predicted. That distinction matters when your professional liability insurance is on the line.
E&O Compatible
Deterministic outputs with confidence scores. Flag uncertain measurements instead of guessing. Your E&O insurer will appreciate the audit trail.
Data Stays Yours
On-premises deployment option. Your project files never leave your network. SOC 2 Type II compliance roadmap in progress.
Fits Your Stack
