Construction & Building Trade

AI automation for construction companies.

Pricing quotations and bills of quantities, screening tenders, keeping the site diary, checking subcontractor invoices, the office work grows faster than the building site. We automate the paperwork, integrated into your existing IT, with no parallel systems.

The bottleneck on site: office work is eating up site management.

Six time drains that every mid-sized construction company knows.

Quotation and bill of quantities pricing

Every project is one of a kind. Bills of quantities with hundreds of line items are priced item by item, between site management, pricing and purchasing. A single quote ties up days of time.

Pricing proposal in hours instead of days

Screening tenders

Going through public and private tenders with extensive bills of quantities by hand, finding the relevant lots, assessing eligibility. Many are not a fit at all, yet the review still costs time.

Pre-qualified tenders instead of a stack

Site diary & documentation

Site diaries, photo documentation, quantity surveys, written up by hand in the evening after work. In the event of a dispute, the complete record is often missing at the end.

Documentation from voice note & photos

Change orders

Every change on site has to be justified, priced and documented as a change order. If it gets buried, margin is left lying on the building site.

Change order draft from site diary & BoQ

Subcontractor invoice checking

Checking interim and final invoices from subcontractors against the order, quantity survey and progress of works, item by item, often under time pressure before the payment deadline.

Automatic target/actual reconciliation of the invoice

Scheduling coordination

Coordinating trades, subcontractors, deliveries and construction phases, every delay pushes back the whole chain. Coordination runs on phone calls, notes and gut feeling.

Structured schedule overview per trade

What we actually automate on site.

Quotation and bill of quantities pricing

Feed in the BoQ file, the AI reads the line items, reconciles them with your price databases and previous calculations and creates a pricing proposal. Your pricing team reviews, adjusts, approves.

Tender analysis

Incoming tenders are structured automatically: scope of works, deadlines, eligibility criteria and fit to your portfolio. You see at once which one is worth pursuing.

Site diary from voice note

The site manager dictates on location, the AI turns it into a structured site diary with weather, trades, personnel and photo references. No writing up in the evening.

Change order draft

From the site diary, BoQ and correspondence, a justified change order emerges with line item and pricing. No more forgotten additional works.

Invoice checking

Subcontractor invoices are reconciled against the order, quantity survey and progress of works. Discrepancies and double billing are flagged before you pay.

Photo and quantity documentation

Site photos are automatically assigned to the right construction phase and trade and documented with date and location, a complete record for handover and disputes.

Scheduling and trade coordination

From the construction schedule and status reports, a current overview emerges: which trade is up when, where a delay is looming, who needs to be informed.

Standard correspondence

Notices of disruption, notices of concern, status updates to clients, are prepared from the project status and put forward for approval.

A typical case from a construction company.

Mid-sized construction company, around 60 employees

A building and civil engineering contractor pricing public and private contracts. Before the project: every larger quote meant days of bill of quantities pricing, tenders were screened by hand, and site diaries were written up by hand in the evening. Site management spent more time in the office than planned.

After the rollout: the AI reads incoming BoQs, pulls prices from the existing database and delivers a pricing proposal; the pricing team only reviews. Site diaries are created from voice notes on the building site, subcontractor invoices are reconciled automatically.

The following figures are an illustrative example, not guaranteed results, the actual levers depend on your processes.

Questions from the building trade.

The AI does not replace your pricing team, it uses your price databases, previous calculations and standard line items to create a proposal. Your team reviews and adjusts where it genuinely gets project-specific. The repetitive part falls away.
Yes. GAEB is the standard format for bills of quantities, the AI reads and writes it. With construction software such as Nemetschek, RIB iTWO, Nevaris or BauSU, we work through the existing interfaces and export formats. No parallel systems.
The site manager records a short voice note by phone, even without a keyboard. The AI structures it into weather, trades deployed, personnel, events and photo references. The site diary is finished in the evening instead of being written up later.
The AI reconciles every invoice against the order, quantity survey and progress of works and flags discrepancies, double billing and open line items. Approval stays with you, the AI delivers the check, not the payment.
A pilot for one use case (e.g. bill of quantities pricing or site diary) ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 € depending on scope, the upfront AI potential analysis (2,500 €) is fully credited. Ongoing operation afterwards is a monthly flat fee. We name the concrete range in the initial call.
Yes. No sharing with third parties, no use for training public AI models, a full data processing agreement. On request, EU data processing, German hosting or on-premise at your site, depending on your IT requirements.
