Our principles

AI that works by clear principles

General AI tools know neither the HOAI nor DIN standards – and their answers sound confident even when they are wrong. That is why every AI we bring into your practice follows four principles: secure with your data, precise in every result, economical to run and a precise fit for your practice. Whether we set up an existing tool or develop one for you.

Four principles – for every tool we set up and every application we develop

Your client’s drawings do not belong in someone else’s chat window.

Before an AI tool comes into your practice, we clarify where your data is processed, who can access it and what may go into it in the first place. We choose tools and their operation so that drawings, contracts and project files stay under your control – in line with the GDPR, with the EU AI Act in view and with what you have promised your client.

YOUR PRACTICE · GDPR · EU AI ACT Drawings from the client Contracts and fees Project files minutes, correspondence AI – within this boundary Data only where your practice allows it · nothing goes out unasked Public AI services outside your control

AI in the HOAI work stages

What AI can take over in each work stage

From basic evaluation to construction supervision: for each HOAI work stage we show which work AI takes off your practice’s hands, how we bring it into your workflows and what your practice gains. Design, decisions and responsibility stay with you.

  1. LPH1
    Schematic illustration

    LPH 1Basic evaluation

    AI in basic evaluation

    Every project starts with the question of what is possible on a site and what the client needs. AI collects, organises and summarises – so your practice reaches a reliable basis sooner.

    What AI takes over here

    How we put it into practiceWe connect the AI to the data sources of your federal state and to your project files. We choose the right tool, test it on your projects and look after it afterwards – or develop it where nothing fits.

    What your practice gainsA reliable project basis with sources – earlier in the project.

  2. LPH2

    LPH 2Preliminary design

    AI in preliminary design

    Preliminary design produces options, a first cost estimate and the first consultations. AI helps to compare options faster and to find gaps before the budget is fixed.

    What AI takes over here

    How we put it into practiceWe set up the AI for your cost templates, key figures and project files. We choose the right tool, test it on your projects and look after it afterwards – or develop it where nothing fits.

    What your practice gainsDecisions on a better basis – before the budget is agreed with the client.

  3. LPH3
    Schematic illustration

    LPH 3Design planning

    AI in design planning

    The design is your practice’s work. AI takes over the recalculating, cross-checking and preparing that every design change brings with it.

    What AI takes over here

    How we put it into practiceWe connect the AI to your CAD export, your room schedules and your templates. We choose the right tool, test it on your projects and look after it afterwards – or develop it where nothing fits.

    What your practice gainsMore time for the design – and fewer surprises in areas and costs.

  4. LPH4
    Schematic illustration

    LPH 4Permit planning

    AI in permit planning

    Before submission, completeness is what counts. AI pre-checks planning application documents and supporting evidence against your federal state’s regulations – and helps when the authority asks for more.

    What AI takes over here

    How we put it into practiceWe set up the AI for your federal state’s building code and its regulations on planning application documents, and for your application documents. We choose the right tool, test it on your projects and look after it afterwards – or develop it where nothing fits.

    What your practice gainsAn application that has been checked before submission.

    LPH 5Detailed design

    AI in detailed design

    A set of construction drawings quickly runs to many sheets. AI finds missing details, wrong references and contradictions before they reach the building site.

    What AI takes over here

    How we put it into practiceWe connect the AI to your drawing management and your project files. We choose the right tool, test it on your projects and look after it afterwards – or develop it where nothing fits.

    What your practice gainsFind errors in the drawing set before they become expensive on site.

  6. LPH6–7
    Schematic illustration

    LPH 6–7Preparing and assisting with contract award

    AI in tendering and contract award

    Writing bills of quantities, making tenders comparable, keeping costs in view: AI takes over the legwork of tendering.

    What AI takes over here

    How we put it into practiceWe connect the AI to your cost planning and tendering software and your standard texts. We choose the right tool, test it on your projects and look after it afterwards – or develop it where nothing fits.

    What your practice gainsA traceable award recommendation, sooner.

  7. LPH8–9
    Schematic illustration

    LPH 8–9Construction supervision and post-completion services

    AI in construction supervision

    On site, things are observed, discussed and photographed – the paperwork often waits until the evening. AI turns notes and photos into complete documentation.

    What AI takes over here

    How we put it into practiceWe set up the AI on the smartphone for the building site and connect it to your project files. We choose the right tool, test it on your projects and look after it afterwards – or develop it where nothing fits.

    What your practice gainsComplete documentation – ready for sign-off right after the visit.
