Less Chasing, More Designing: How AI Can Keep Projects Moving and Protect Your Margins
Great design is only half the job. Behind every project sits a web of specifications, supplier quotes, client approvals, orders, changes, budgets and timelines. Every change ripples out to clients, suppliers and contractors, and every follow-up lives in someone’s inbox or someone’s head. That is where studios lose hours each week, and quietly lose margin.
Led by Sophie Paternotte, founder of Atelix, the operating system for interior designers and architects, this practical session looks at where time and profit leak in a studio, and what AI can (and cannot yet) take off your plate today.
Together we will look at how to:
- Keep FF&E specifications and product information in one place
- Handle changes without losing track of who has been told what
- Spend less time chasing suppliers, clients and contractors
- Get client approvals signed off faster
- See how time, costs and fees affect project profitability
- Spot what is at risk across your projects before it becomes a problem
- Build simple, consistent processes your whole team can follow
Sophie will bring these ideas to life with a live demonstration of Atelix on a real project, from sourcing to client sign-off to margin.
The session will conclude with an open Q&A, giving you the opportunity to discuss your own processes and explore where technology could help you deliver projects more efficiently and profitably.
