Problem
Construction firms in Germany spend days manually reviewing lengthy public tender documents, contracts, and bid packages, often missing critical clauses or risk factors that can affect project margins. The process is error‑prone, lacks auditability, and requires specialized legal knowledge of VOB, GAEB, HOAI, and BGH case law.
Solution
BAU AI provides a German‑law‑trained AI operating system that automates each phase of the construction procurement workflow. Dedicated agents—Clara for tender analysis, Dora for contract risk assessment, and Nova for bid evaluation—process full‑text documents in under five minutes, extracting relevant data, flagging contractual penalties, and generating a structured, source‑cited report. The platform integrates with common AVA tools (iTWO, Nevaris, Allplan) and supports GAEB‑X83 imports, enabling seamless export of findings into existing estimating workflows. All analyses run on GDPR‑compliant infrastructure hosted in Frankfurt, with audit‑trail capabilities that meet VgV requirements. Users can scale from a single agent to the full suite, adding custom workflows, API access, and on‑premise deployment as needed.
