Baldr
baldr.io provides an AI-powered platform that reviews large, complex tender documents in Norwegian construction, automatically detecting conflicts, missing quantities, and unclear risk allocation across drawings, descriptions, and contracts. The platform flags each deviation with source references and estimated cost impacts, enabling contractors to build a defensible basis for risk premiums. It is designed for large, complex public-sector tenders, supporting standards like NS 3420, NS 8405/8407, and TEK17.

Problem
Construction tender documents are often large and complex, typically spanning 200 to 1000 pages across drawings, descriptions, quantity lists, contracts, and addenda. Manually reviewing these documents is time-consuming and error-prone, leading to missed conflicts, missing quantities, and unclear risk allocation. This results in inaccurate risk premiums, financial exposure, and disputes—with 2.2 billion NOK in annual disputes and 78% of professionals pointing to tender documents as the cause.
Solution
baldr.io provides an AI-powered platform that automatically reads and cross-checks all tender documents against each other and against Norwegian regulations. It identifies conflicts, missing quantities, and NS 3420 code deviations, flagging each with a confidence score, source page reference, and estimated cost impact where possible. Users review flagged deviations sorted by severity, confirm or dismiss them, and export a structured deviation basis and NS 3420 post list for further work in calculation tools. The platform is built for Norwegian construction standards, including NS 3420, NS 8405/8407, and TEK17, and ensures full traceability from each deviation back to the exact location in the source document.
Target Audience
Primary users are estimation departments, main contractors, and civil engineering contractors bidding on large, complex public-sector projects from Statsbygg, Sykehusbygg, Forsvarsbygg, and municipal entities.
