Use Cases

Use cases along the entire building lifecycle.

01 · Design

Aidocr: Design review and BIM analysis

Design review and BIM analysis

Deviations between the IFC model and the 2D plans only surface on site. Design errors cause rework with five to six figure follow-up costs.

Compare the railings on the 1st floor between the IFC model and the 2D plan.

Aidocr analyses model and plan in the same pass: 5 discrepancies identified, deviating dimensions and material designations named precisely.

Reduces manual design reviewDirect impact on construction cost and project duration

02 · Tendering & procurement

Aidocr: Bill of quantities from BIM model and STLK

Bill of quantities from BIM model and STLK

Components are read out of the IFC model by hand and matched to STLK items. Hours of work per component group, and mismatches leave gaps in the bill of quantities.

Create the bill of quantities for the sheet piles based on STLK 180.

Aidocr reads the IFC model and the STLK catalogue in parallel: components extracted with type, material and dimensions, with the matching STLK item proposed for each one.

Speeds up preparing the bill of quantitiesDirect impact on costing quality and tendering speed

Aidocr: Bid comparison and price analysis

Bid comparison and price analysis

Subcontractor bids are transferred into comparison sheets by hand and checked against the bill of quantities. Missing items and deviating scope stay undetected.

Compare the three bids for the drywall trade against the bill of quantities.

Aidocr reads the bill of quantities and the bids in parallel: bidder B without item 04.120, bidder C deviates on 2 items, the price comparison comes as a table.

Speeds up award decisionsDirect impact on award cost and change order risk

03 · Construction

Aidocr: Change order management and cost control

Change order management and cost control

Change orders sit scattered across individual quotes, order confirmations and handover protocols. Without a central overview, a project's cost position stays unclear.

List all change orders with status and cost in the project.

Aidocr reads all change order quotes in parallel: 7 change orders, 5 of them commissioned, every row with its source in the quote or order confirmation.

Creates a central cost overviewDirect impact on project cost and contractual risk

Aidocr: Quantity takeoff straight from the BIM model

Quantity takeoff straight from the BIM model

Quantities for the bill of quantities, on-site measurement and final invoicing are reconstructed from 2D plans. Checks stay sample-based, deviations only surface at billing.

What is the volume of the abutment and how many concrete piers are installed?

Aidocr reads the IFC model in a structured way: abutment 537.786 m³ across two components, 4 concrete piers, every figure sourced in the model.

Quantities verifiable and sourcedDirect impact on billing certainty and change order defence

Compare the daily site reports of the last 4 weeks with the schedule. Who is behind?

aidocr thinking process

The screed is 6 days behind, caused by the missing preceding work from the heating trade. 1 The remaining trades are on plan, painting starts as scheduled in week 24. 2

Schedule variance analysis

Delays are matched from daily site reports against the schedule by hand. Obstructions are noticed too late and claims are hard to substantiate.

Compare the daily site reports of the last 4 weeks with the schedule. Who is behind?

Aidocr reads both in parallel: screed 6 days behind, caused by missing preceding work from the heating trade, sources linked.

Makes delays visible earlyDirect impact on construction time and claim management

Aidocr: Defect deadlines and follow-up

Defect deadlines and follow-up

Deadlines for rectifying defects sit scattered across dozens of inspection reports from different trades and inspection bodies. Without a central overview, dates pass unnoticed.

What is the deadline for rectifying the defects?

Aidocr reads all inspection reports in parallel: major defects on the emergency lighting are due by 21 Jan, on the electrical systems by 30 Apr, every deadline sourced in its report.

Does the asphalt work comply with ZTV Asphalt-StB?

aidocr thinking process

On two points it does not. The laying temperature falls below the ZTV Asphalt-StB limit 1, and the layer thickness deviates from the contractual specification. 2

ZTV_Asphalt-StB.pdf×Laying_protocol_lot2.pdf×Construction_contract.pdf×
Type in your question

Standards and contract compliance

Construction documents are checked against ZTV, DIN and contract terms, hundreds of pages of standards. The review ties up engineers and stays incomplete.

Does the asphalt work comply with ZTV Asphalt-StB?

Aidocr reads documents, standards and contract in parallel: 2 deviations on laying temperature and layer thickness, with sources.

Relieves the technical reviewDirect impact on quality and warranty

04 · Handover

Aidocr: Reviewing handover and as-built documentation

Reviewing handover and as-built documentation

Before handover it has to be checked which as-built documents exist. Searching hundreds of files by hand costs time and individual records get missed.

Which handover records exist in the project: maintenance manuals, acceptance protocols, as-built drawings?

Aidocr searches all documents and folders of the project and shows what is there. Gaps become visible at a glance.

05 · Operations

Aidocr: Fault reports and FM dispatch

Fault reports and FM dispatch

Hundreds of fault reports every day, categorised and forwarded by hand. If a report reaches the wrong contact, the response is delayed and operator obligations are at risk.

Read the fault report and identify category and responsibility.

Aidocr checks the lease and the CAFM system: heating failure, maintenance sits with the owner (§7 (2)). The email to the service provider is prepared automatically.

Speeds up FM response timesDirect impact on tenant satisfaction and cost

Aidocr: Lease management and data extraction

Lease management and data extraction

Leases, handover protocols and amendments are matched against the rent roll and ERP/DMS by hand. Hours per contract, and error-prone.

Extract the contract data and reconcile it with the rent roll.

Aidocr reads lease, handover protocol and rent roll at the same time: start date, term and clauses extracted and reconciled against ERP and DMS. Deviations are visible immediately.

Automates data reconciliationDirect impact on data quality and efficiency

Aidocr: ESG reporting and operator responsibility

ESG reporting and operator responsibility

CO₂ reporting, operator obligations and ESG compliance across heterogeneous portfolios are barely traceable by hand. That creates six figure liability risk.

Create a dashboard on the CO₂ footprint of all sites in 2024.

Aidocr aggregates the consumption data: Munich site 23% above average, main driver energy cost, 3 open operator obligations due by Q2.

Which regulations and previous rulings are relevant to the objection on the northern section?

aidocr thinking process

For the northern section, §34 of the building code 1 and the noise abatement ordinance 2 apply. Two earlier rulings concern the same section, most recently ruling 2021/17. 3

Objection research

An objection comes with thousands of pages: plans, regulations, previous rulings. The research ties up the legal department for days.

Which regulations and previous rulings are relevant to the objection on the northern section?

Aidocr searches the building code, the ordinances and the ruling archive in parallel: §34 of the building code and the noise abatement ordinance apply, most recently ruling 2021/17, every passage with its source.

One search instead of 2,000 documentsDirect impact on procedure duration and legal certainty

Every one of these use cases runs on the data that already sits in the company today. It starts with a question in plain language, not with a migration.
