Designed for every player in the real world
A single platform that adapts to the specifics of your profession. The AEC-RE ecosystem is interdependent. Vonbuild has been designed to resolve the bottlenecks of every player in the value chain, from design to handover.
Each scenario is based on real-world situations from the AEC industry in France, Switzerland and Germany.
Engineering and consultancies
Structural engineers, thermal specialists, acousticians, methods engineers. Your senior staff are retiring and taking 30 years of know-how with them. Your juniors spend 60% of their time checking standards rather than designing. The risk of calculation error engages your decennial liability.
The daily pain of engineering consultancies
The haemorrhage of knowledge
Your senior engineers are retiring and taking 30 years of know-how with them. The subtleties of DTU 39, the particular cases of the Eurocodes, the empirical rules accumulated across hundreds of projects: it all disappears. The calculation notes from former colleagues are unreadable for newcomers. When a junior asks a question, the senior spends 45 minutes explaining the context and the pitfalls. This artisanal transfer does not scale.
60% of time spent on verification, not design
Every calculation note must be checked by a senior. You have 3 seniors for 35 engineers. The bottleneck is permanent. Juniors wait 3 to 5 days for a verification that takes 2 hours. Projects fall behind. Clients complain. Recruiting a senior structural engineer takes 9 months and costs EUR 85,000 per year.
Decennial liability at stake
The Eurocodes, DTU, seismic standards evolve. Tracking every update, verifying that previous calculation notes remain compliant, training the teams: it is a full-time job that nobody does properly. A non-compliance discovered too late means a costly remedy, a professional dispute and your decennial liability engaged.

The Vonbuild revolution for engineering consultancies
Determinism: the agent does not guess
The engineering agent does not hallucinate a load distribution calculation. It uses your own calculation software via its web browser (Computer Use). It connects to your SaaS platforms, enters the parameters, runs the calculation and extracts the result. The result is deterministic, reproducible and auditable.
Tool creation: the agent codes its own scripts
Do you need a specific verification? The agent codes its own Python script (for example, DTU 39 glazing dimensioning), tests it and creates a new reusable Skill for all your colleagues. Your seniors' know-how is encoded in Company Skills. Every particular case, every pitfall, every empirical rule is structured and versioned. Their knowledge survives their departure.
Proactive standards monitoring
The engineering agent is updated with every standards revision. When a DTU is revised, it automatically identifies which ongoing projects and which previous calculation notes are potentially affected. You receive an impact report with recommended corrective actions. Zero non-compliance discovered too late.
Twice as many complex projects with the same team
Verification time reduced by 75%. Seniors specify the method (Skills), juniors execute at senior quality. 100% of critical knowledge encoded and transferable. 2 autonomous juniors in 3 months instead of 18. Senior knowledge is digitised in the OS. With the same team, you absorb twice as many complex projects.

See determinism, not hallucination.
Watch the engineering agent open Robot Structural Analysis, run an EC3 beam check, extract the certified result, and save it back to the workspace. The certified tool produces the number — the AI commands it.
When no tool exists, the agent writes the script.
A senior's DTU 39 verification routine, encoded once as a Skill — validation rules, reference cases, governance level. Every junior runs the protocol with senior rigor. The retiring senior's expertise stays in the firm.
Contractors and specialist firms
Main contractors, facade specialists, MEP, structural works, trades. Your 2-3% margins evaporate without you noticing. A missed time bar prevents you from claiming your additional costs. Your site managers are exhausted chasing subcontractors.
The daily pain of contractors
The melting margin
With 2-3% net margin, a single administrative error absorbs the profit of an entire project. A forgotten price revision clause in a variation, an invoice validated without verification, a discrepancy detected too late in the annual accounts. Last year, a single error cost EUR 180,000. The money was owed. It will never be recovered.
Missed time bars
A missed time bar (often 15 days under the CCAG) prevents you from claiming your additional costs. Your administrative manager handles 47 simultaneous projects. Each project has dozens of contractual deadlines: claim periods, variation deadlines, warranty prescriptions. A missed time bar on a EUR 320,000 dispute renders the claim inadmissible.
Exhausted site managers
1,200 subcontractor invoices per month. Each must be verified against the purchase order, the interim payment, the subcontract, the retention. The accounts team is overwhelmed. Errors slip through. Double payments occur. Site managers exhaust themselves chasing subcontractors instead of being on the ground.

The Vonbuild revolution for contractors
Relentless deadline tracking
The legal agent reads 100% of your contracts (Particular Administrative Conditions, Technical Specification) and tracks every time bar. It drafts the Formal Notice (recorded delivery letter) with the exact legal article. 30 days before a critical deadline, you receive an alert with the full context: the relevant contract, the exact clause, the file history and a pre-drafted reservation letter. Zero time bars missed since deployment.
Procurement validation: 3-5% direct savings
The procurement agent automatically cross-references every subcontractor invoice against the original contract and the project progress status. Amount discrepancies, incorrect VAT, non-commissioned services: everything is identified and presented in a summary table. It instantly detects overbilling. The accounts team only handles exceptions.
The cascade effect under control
When a variation arrives, the legal agent automatically analyses its impact on prices, timescales, penalty clauses and guarantees. The estimation agent quantifies the financial impact. The operations agent assesses the programme impact. You receive a synthesis in 20 minutes instead of 3 days. Subcontractors are automatically chased with the contractual context.
Your margin is protected
Losses avoided (time bars, invoicing errors, missed variations). Administrative teams redeployed to value-added tasks. Your site managers return to the field. The cost of Vonbuild: a fraction of what a single error costs you today.

Your invoices already exist. The agent connects.
No new portal for your accounts team to upload to. Point at the SharePoint / OneDrive folder where invoices already land — every new file is indexed into the four memories as it arrives. Permissions inherited, no duplication.
The invoice gate, in action.
Every binding payment passes through the ConfirmRisky protocol. The Procurement agent prepares the case file — invoice, contract clause, progress reconciliation — and you approve, decline, or request revision in one click.
Property development and client/employer organisations
Property developers, project sponsors, employer's agents. You manage a dozen projects in parallel. You receive thousands of documents from your contractors and architects. Are you certain that what is invoiced corresponds exactly to the original Technical Specification?
The daily pain of the client/employer
Document chaos at scale
You manage a dozen projects in parallel. Each project generates thousands of documents: drawings, variations, invoices, interim payments, meeting minutes. Information is scattered between stakeholders. Nobody has a consolidated view. Coordination errors between work packages are detected too late, when they have become additional costs.
The certainty that what is invoiced equals the Technical Specification
Your contractors and architects send you payment applications, interim payments, final accounts. How do you verify that every line invoiced corresponds exactly to the specifications of the original Technical Specification? Manually, it is impossible at the scale of dozens of projects. Discrepancies slip through. Additional costs accumulate.
Environmental standards compliance
RE2020, environmental certifications, energy performance requirements: obligations multiply. Verifying that execution drawings comply with your original requirements at every iteration is a colossal task. A RE2020 non-compliance discovered at handover means a permit refusal or remedial works costing hundreds of thousands of euros.

360-degree vision across all your projects
The orchestrator ingests the chaos from all your stakeholders. It reads, classifies and automatically structures data into 17 semantic categories. The Knowledge Graph instantly links a technical variation, its invoice and its calculation note. You have a consolidated, real-time view of the status of every project.
Continuous automated audit
The OS verifies in real time that execution drawings and payment applications comply with your original requirements: the brief, RE2020 environmental standards, the Technical Specification. Every discrepancy is identified, quantified and flagged before it becomes an additional cost.
Total transparency on your investments
Total transparency on your investments (CapEx) and a drastic reduction in additional costs from coordination errors. Every euro invoiced is justified against the original contract. Non-compliances are detected upstream. Your decisions are informed by reliable data, not by approximate reports.
