What the phone looks like for a Belfast architectural practice
Belfast and the wider County Antrim has a population of around 630,000, built on technology, healthcare and a strong construction sector. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a architectural practice working across the Cathedral Quarter, Ballyhackamore and Lisburn Road most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A homeowner planning an extension rings three practices and engages the one that felt easiest to talk to.
Callwise answers on your own 028 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Belfast architectural practices ask us
Do we keep our 028 number?
Yes. Your existing 028 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Belfast customers reach you changes.
Do you work with architectural practices outside Belfast?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Belfast and everywhere across County Antrim is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Can it screen small enquiries?
Yes. It asks about the project type and scale and politely declines anything under your minimum, which saves the conversation you did not want.
Will it advise on planning?
Never. It captures the project and books the consultation where that judgement belongs.
Does it suit a small practice?
Particularly. A two person practice has nobody on reception and loses enquiries worth thousands to a voicemail.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Belfast customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
