Legal Master

Your contractual shield. Infallible, 24/7.

A poorly read contract or a missed 15-day deadline can destroy an entire project's margin. Take back the advantage. The Legal Master reads everything, forgets nothing, and tracks your rights to claim.

Contract Management in construction is an asymmetric battle. Tender Documents (DCE) run to thousands of pages and site correspondence piles up. Vonbuild rebalances the forces.

Secure your positions against the Employer and the Design Team with algorithmic precision.

Relentless Time Bar tracking

This is the feature that saves your margins. The Agent scans the entirety of correspondence and site meeting minutes. If it detects a triggering event (delay from another Work Package, adverse weather, drawing change), it calculates the legal deadline to respond (e.g. 15 days under the CCAG). It sets a reminder and alerts you before the deadline expires.

SYSTEM_READY

Bulk Tender Documents (DCE) audit (Risk Scoring)

Never sign blind again. Submit a 500-page Particular Administrative Conditions (CCAP) / Technical Specification (CCTP) to the Agent. In minutes, it generates a risk report: uncapped delay penalties, abusive clauses, inequitable acceptance conditions. It scores the contract from LOW to CRITICAL.

SYSTEM_READY

Native multi-jurisdiction

Our legal Skills integrate international and local legal frameworks: SIA 118, CCAG Travaux 2021, NF P 03-001, VOB/B (Germany), FIDIC and JCT. The Agent applies the correct jurisprudence to the correct geographic situation.

SYSTEM_READY

Assisted claim drafting (Formal Notice)

When a dispute is identified, the Agent queries the Knowledge Graph to gather evidence (drawing X, progress payment Y, email Z). It instantly drafts a sourced Formal Notice, citing the exact article of law.

The AI drafts. The lawyer validates.

Sending an official claim is a serious act. The Legal Master can under no circumstances send an external email on its own.

ConfirmRisky Protocol

The Legal Master prepares the legally bulletproof dossier. You (Project Director, Lawyer) review, adjust the political tone, and click to send.

Responsibility remains human. The research, cross-referencing and drafting work is delegated to the agent. You retain full control over every official communication.

Scenario: analysis of a 400-page FIDIC contract

A developer hands you a FIDIC Silver Book contract for an 85 MEUR hospital project. Your legal team would estimate 3 weeks of analysis. The Vonbuild Legal Master does it in 12 minutes.

Ingestion

Contract decomposition

The agent ingests the 400 pages, identifies the structure (general conditions, particular conditions, appendices, Variations), and indexes each clause in the Knowledge Graph. Internal cross-references are resolved automatically: when clause 14.7 refers to clause 8.3, the agent reconstructs the link.

Detection

47 risk clauses identified

The agent applies the FIDIC Silver Book analysis skill. It identifies 47 risk clauses: 12 cumulative delay penalties (risk: 8% of contract value), 3 unfavourable price revision clauses, 1 unilateral termination clause without compensation, 5 notification periods at 14 days (instead of the standard 28 days).

Cross-referencing

Variations vs original contract

The agent cross-references the 47 clauses with the 6 signed Variations. It detects that Variation no.4 modified the penalty clause without updating the corresponding price revision clause. Contractual inconsistency identified. Estimated financial risk: 340,000 EUR.

Deliverable

Report and recommendations

The agent generates a structured report: risk matrix (critical, high, moderate), summary table of the 47 clauses with exact references, negotiation recommendations for each point, counter-proposal templates. All in 12 minutes. Your senior lawyer validates and refines.
