For Residential architects
A homeowner may contact an architect with a detailed brief or simply a feeling that their home no longer works for them. Ziverly can welcome the idea, gather the property and project stage and help you return to a thoughtful conversation when you are no longer in a design review, site meeting or client discussion.

A familiar moment
You are reviewing drawings with one household when another homeowner rings about opening up the rear of a semi-detached house. Ziverly can capture the property, changes they are considering, present project stage, drawings or advice already obtained, decision-makers, broad priorities and hoped-for timing. It does not comment on feasibility, planning, Building Regulations, design or likely cost.
Where Ziverly can help
A dark kitchen, poor circulation, working from home or a growing family may matter more initially than a named architectural solution.
An early idea, pre-application discussion, measured survey and existing consultant team each need a different next step.
Client workshops, drawings and site discussions deserve focus when a new homeowner wants to explain their ambitions.
What a better handover can change
Receive what they want the home to do differently, alongside the property and project information they already have.
See whether drawings, surveys, planning discussions or other consultants are already part of the project.
Add an approved consultation discussion, document request or fee note so a returning caller receives current context.
Before, during and after the call
Use the call-diversion options supported by your mobile or landline service, such as no reply, unreachable, busy or rejected. Turn them off again whenever you want to answer normally, or use cover for evenings, weekends, holidays and unexpected time away.
Choose email or SMS alerts where enabled, then open Ziverly to review the summary, transcript, recording where available, status and priority.
Review the property, proposed changes, project stage, existing drawings or advisers, decision-makers, priorities and hoped-for timing.
Add an AI-facing note when you want Ziverly to have more context if the same known caller rings again. Separate private notes stay private.
Add an approved consultation, document request or fee note so Ziverly can give the homeowner the right context if they return.
Choose a daily or weekly email summary of calls still waiting for attention, at the time that best fits your working day.

You remain responsible for the advice you give, the work you accept and the safety, eligibility and professional checks your business requires.
