By Ibrahim DemolCEO IBLeadUpdated June 12, 2026

Are you looking to build an email list of architects for your sales prospecting? IBLead provides access to 30,000+ French architects with verified emails, phone numbers, postal addresses, and much more. You can filter by region, Google rating, website technologies — then export to CSV in just 2 clicks.

No scraping. No waiting. No outdated data. The database is refreshed weekly.

Context: these 30,000+ French architects sit inside a wider 50M+ business index spanning 37 countries. At €44 for 10,000 exported contacts — roughly €0.004 per record — the per-lead cost stays an order of magnitude below pay-per-task scrapers.

How to Build Your Email List of Architects in 4 Steps

1. Create a Free Account and Get 200 Credits

Sign up at app.iblead.com/register. Free free plan. You immediately receive 200 credits (= 5,000 exportable contacts).

2. Search by Location and Category

Enter your target area: - By region: Île-de-France, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, etc. - By department: 75 (Paris), 13 (Bouches-du-Rhône), 69 (Rhône), etc. - By city: Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, etc. - Category: "Architecture" or "Architect"

IBLead immediately displays the number of available architects in your area.

Example: "Architects in Paris" = 2,847 results. "Architects in Île-de-France" = 8,923 results.

3. Apply Filters to Refine

You can refine your list according to your needs:

  • By Google rating: target only architects with a rating ≥ 4.5 stars (or conversely < 3 stars if you are doing reputation management)
  • By number of reviews: filter firms with at least 10 reviews (= more established and credible)
  • By detected technologies: look for architects using WordPress, Wix, or lacking tools (sales opportunity)
  • By claimed listing: identify architects actively managing their Google Maps presence
  • By number of photos: filter firms with a complete gallery (= more professional)

4. Export to CSV and Import into Your Tool

One click on "Export". You download a CSV file with all contacts + all data.

You can then import directly into: - Lemlist or Instantly (for cold email) - HubSpot or Salesforce (for CRM) - Google Sheets (for manual analysis) - Excel (for sorting/segmentation)

Total time: 3 minutes from account creation to export.


3 Concrete Use Cases for Your Email List of Architects

1. Cold Email Campaign for Web Agency / SEO Agency

Objective: sell a website or SEO service to architects.

How to use IBLead: - Filter architects who use WordPress (technology detection) - Filter those with a site without Google Analytics (audit opportunity) - Filter by Google rating < 4.0 (more receptive to improvements)

Example email:

Hello [Name],

I visited your firm's website (www.yourfirm.com) — very nice design. But I noticed that you don’t have Google Analytics set up. Therefore, you don’t know where your quote requests are coming from.

We help architecture firms recover 20-30% more leads by optimizing their online presence.

Would you be interested in a free 15-minute audit?

Best regards, [Your Name]

Expected result: response rate of 8-15% (well above the average for cold emails).


2. Market Study: Analyze Architect Satisfaction by Region

Objective: understand which firms are satisfied and which have problems.

How to use IBLead:

Export all architects from a region, then analyze: - Architects with rating ≥ 4.5: well-established firms, good reputation - Architects with rating < 3.0: service or communication issues - Architects with 0 reviews: firms invisible online

Example insight:

In Île-de-France, 34% of small architecture firms have a Google rating < 3.5. This indicates an opportunity for an online reputation management service.

You can sell this insight to a reputation provider or use it to position your own service.


3. B2B Partnership: Find Architects Using Your Competitor

Objective: identify architects using a competing tool (e.g., Revit, BIM360) and convince them to try yours.

How to use IBLead:

  • Filter architects whose site detects Autodesk Revit or BIM360
  • Filter by Google rating (active and established architects)
  • Export and launch a personalized campaign

Example email:

Hello [Name],

I see that you are using Revit for your projects. We have developed a plugin that reduces rendering time by 40% on Revit.

Would you be interested in testing it on a small project?

[Your Name]

Result: conversion rate 3-5x higher than traditional cold prospecting, as you are directly targeting users of the tool.


Available Filters to Refine Your Email List of Architects

IBLead offers 20+ filters to refine your list. Here are the most relevant for architects:

Filter Example Values
Location Region, department, city, radius
Google Rating 0-5 stars, or range (e.g., 3.5-4.5)

Practical use case:

You want to sell a photography service for architecture firms. You filter: - Architects with 0-5 photos (no complete gallery) - Google rating ≥ 3.5 (established enough to pay) - Region Île-de-France (density + purchasing power)

Result: 847 ultra-qualified contacts, ready for a campaign.

Frequently Asked Questions about Email Lists of Architects

Q1. Are architect emails from IBLead up to date?

Quick answer: Yes. IBLead updates its database monthly by scanning Google Maps listings. Emails are enriched directly from the current websites of the firms.

Unlike purchased lists (which become outdated 6 months later), IBLead gives you access to a living database. You can export a new list every month with the most recent firms.

Guarantee: if an email does not work, you do not pay for the credit. IBLead validates syntax and checks basic deliverability before export.


Q2. How many architects are there in France in IBLead?

Quick answer: Approximately 30,000 architects (firms + independents) with at least one active Google Maps listing.

This figure corresponds to data from the National Council of the Order of Architects (CNOA), which counts about 30,000 practicing architects. IBLead covers the majority of them via Google Maps.

Important: this number grows every month. Some architects create a Google Maps listing, while others delete it. IBLead tracks these movements in real-time.


Q3. Can I filter architects by specialty (interior, landscape, restoration)?

Quick answer: Yes, via Google Maps categories. You can filter by: - "Interior Architect" - "Landscape Architect" - "Restoration Architect" - "Commercial Architect"

You can also combine multiple categories in a single search (e.g., "Interior Architect" OR "Landscape Architect").


Q4. Can I see the Google reviews of architects before exporting?

Quick answer: Yes. IBLead displays Google reviews directly in the interface. You see: - Full text of each review - Rating (1-5 stars) - Date of the review - Author (client's name)

You can filter by average rating (e.g., ≥ 4.5 stars) before exporting. This is exclusive to IBLead — no competitor scrapes Google reviews.

Use case: are you doing reputation management? Export all architects with a rating < 3 stars + text of negative reviews. You have your prospect list in 2 clicks.


Q5. Can I integrate the email list of architects directly into my CRM?

Quick answer: Yes, in two ways:

Method 1: Export CSV + Manual Import - Export from IBLead in CSV - Import into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or your CRM - Time: 5 minutes

Method 2: API Integration (Business and Enterprise plans) - IBLead offers a REST API to automatically sync contacts - New architects are added to your CRM each month - Time: initial setup 30 min, then automatic

Compatible CRMs: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Monday.com, Airtable, Google Sheets, Zapier.


Q6. How many credits do I need to export 10,000 architect emails?

Quick answer: 10,000 credits (1 credit = 1 exported contact).

Available Plans:

Plan Credits/month Price Cost per 10K contacts
Starter 10,000 €44 €44
Pro 20,000 €89 €27.50
Business 40,000 €179 €24.75
Enterprise 100,000 €449 €25

Tip: if you export regularly (e.g., every month), the Pro plan at €89/month offers the best value. You export 20,000 contacts/month, which is about 240,000/year.


How to Use Your Email List of Architects: 5 Best Practices

1. Segment Before Sending

Don’t launch a single campaign to 30,000 architects. Divide into segments:

  • Segment 1: Independent architects (small budget, quick decision)
  • Segment 2: Firms of 5-10 people (medium budget, sales cycle 2-4 weeks)
  • Segment 3: Large firms 20+ people (high budget, long cycle, different approach)

You can segment by number of reviews (proxy for firm size) or number of photos (proxy for maturity).

2. Personalize the Message

Architects receive 50+ prospecting emails per month. Your email must be personalized.
