AI for Architects.
Project Docs, Client Communication, Research.
A local AI assistant for architecture practices. Specifications, planning narratives, client communication, and design concept writing - with project data and client briefs processed entirely on your machine.
The reality
Architectural practice is design-intensive but increasingly document-heavy. Planning statements, specifications, fee proposals, client narratives, and regulatory submissions all demand careful writing that takes time away from the actual design work. Many practices bill by the hour - every hour spent on documentation is time not spent designing.
How Skales helps
From specification writing to planning narratives - more design time, less paperwork.
Project specifications and reports
Draft room data sheets, material specifications, and architect\
Material and regulation research
Paste building regulation extracts, technical data sheets, or planning policy documents. Ask Skales to summarise the requirements relevant to your project, flag compliance considerations, and structure a reference brief.
Client communication
Draft design concept narratives, change notification letters, and project progress updates. Translate technical decisions into clear, engaging language that clients understand and appreciate.
Programme and fee proposals
Write fee proposals, RIBA stage descriptions, and project programme narratives. Describe the project scope and Skales drafts the stage-by-stage breakdown with deliverables, resources, and timeline.
Planning application support
Draft design and access statements, heritage impact assessments, and pre-application submission narratives. Describe the design intent and context; Skales writes the planning language that officers and committees respond to.
Competition and award submissions
Write compelling competition entries and award submissions. Articulate the concept, the constraints, and the outcomes in the evocative language that juries notice. Same project, better told.
“Our planning approval rate went up. Better-written statements. Less back-and-forth with officers.”
