For architecture & engineering practices

More time designing, less time on documents.

Senior time leaks into proposals, specs and reporting. We put AI on the documentation so your people stay on design and delivery.

In most architecture and engineering practices, it's the senior people who end up writing the proposals, drafting the specs, and chasing the report backlog. That's billable time, and deep expertise, tied up in document production rather than design or delivery.

Fettle puts AI agents to work on the documentation layer of your projects. The brief comes in, the notes come back from site, the RFIs stack up, and the AI handles the first draft so your team can focus on the work that actually needs their judgement.

The AI we'd put to work

Agents built around your desk.

Off-the-shelf tools where they fit, and bespoke AI agents we build, run and improve for you where they don't. Here's where we'd start.

Fee Proposal Agent

Drafts proposals and bid responses from the brief and your templates.

Specification Agent

Assembles draft specs and schedules from project parameters.

Site Report Agent

Turns site notes and photos into a structured progress report.

RFI Agent

Drafts responses to common RFIs and tracks the open list.

In practice

What changes, with examples.

Fee proposal and bid response
Today

A director spends half a day pulling together scope, fee build-up and narrative from scratch every time a new enquiry lands.

With Fettle

The Fee Proposal Agent reads the brief and your templates, drafts the scope narrative and fee structure, and has a working first version ready to review in minutes.

Specification writing
Today

A project architect builds specs clause by clause, cross-referencing NBS sections and project parameters each time a new package is issued.

With Fettle

The Specification Agent assembles a structured draft spec and schedule from the project parameters, flagging gaps for the architect to resolve rather than starting from a blank page.

Site visit and progress reports
Today

An engineer's brief voice notes and photos from a Friday site visit sit unwritten until Monday, then take an hour to turn into a formatted report.

With Fettle

The Site Report Agent takes the notes and any photo captions and produces a structured progress report, ready to review and send, before the engineer has left the car park.

Architecture & engineering · a week with Fettle

A week with Fettle at a medium-sized practice

On Monday, two new enquiries arrive alongside a pile of outstanding RFIs. Instead of a director clearing the decks before any design work begins, the Fee Proposal Agent drafts both bid responses overnight and the RFI Agent works through the open list, flagging the two that need a technical call. By Wednesday, the specification package for a live project is ready for review rather than still being written. By Friday, every site report from the week's visits is structured, signed off and sent, and the senior team have spent the week on design reviews and client meetings rather than documentation.

Questions architecture & engineering ask

Our proposals and specs are bespoke every time. Can AI actually handle that?

+
The agents work from your own templates, past project documents and the specific brief or parameters for each job, so the output reflects your practice's voice and approach rather than a generic format. The team still reviews and refines, but they're editing rather than writing from scratch.

We work to NBS, RIBA stages and specific contract frameworks. Will the AI understand that context?

+
Yes. The Assessment process looks at exactly which documentation your practice produces at which stages, and the agents are set up with that professional context built in, not bolted on as an afterthought.

What if we just want to see whether this is worth it before committing to anything?
