Felix Grau on NEO

Felix Grau, founder of NOVA AVA
“In the future, architecture and engineering firms will no longer be able to afford to operate without AI. The question is, what exactly must AI be capable of and achieve in construction cost management? And with NEO, we have a clear vision for that.”

NEO will take care of it!

A true construction cost calculator: NEO can already handle these tasks for you today. More will be added step by step.

Check Bill of Quantities for Compliance with VOB

How compliant is your Bill of Quantities with VOB? In this video, you’ll learn how NEO automatically checks Bills of Quantities for compliance with VOB/A, VOB/B, and VOB/C, highlights critical areas, and provides a detailed analysis of the results. And you’ll see how you can easily save the right validation prompt for your next project.

Interacting with ChatGPT and Similar Tools

Connect NOVA AVA to ChatGPT or other AI systems? In the video, you’ll see how external AI accesses project data directly via MCP, researches information, and even creates new projects and Bill of Quantities—including relevant line items and price suggestions from the SmartPool.

Create a Schedule from Course Descriptions

Can a reliable construction schedule be created from Bill of Quantities? NEO analyzes quantities and work items, suggests tasks, durations, dependencies, and milestones, and uses this information to generate a schedule directly. In the video, you’ll see how BOQ data and scheduling are intelligently integrated.

Assessing the Sustainability of a Project

What are the biggest sources of CO₂ emissions in your Bill of Quantities? In this video, NEO analyzes materials and quantities, calculates emission values, uses data sources such as ÖKOBAUDAT, and presents the results clearly organized by relevance. This makes it possible to evaluate sustainability in a project in concrete terms.

FAQ

Safety is the top priority at NOVA AVA and NEO. NEO operates independently of AI BIGTECH to ensure that your data is truly secure. NEO does not require any external AI agents and does not establish connections with them on its own. All data is stored in Germany in ISO 27001-certified data centers and never leaves them. In our AI-HUB, we operate our own isolated AI infrastructure with open-source models and agents specifically designed for construction cost management and BIM. Your data will not be used for training purposes either.
NEO has the same rights as the respective user—no more, but also no less. However, you can also disable NEO for specific users. You can manage this through the NOVA AVA administration interface.
No. You can easily enable or disable NEO in the NOVA AVA administration console—even for individual users.
Yes. While NEO does not establish a connection to external AI on its own, if you want to use external AI models such as ChatGPT, Claude, etc., you can choose to do so at any time. We’ve equipped NEO with MCP; through this protocol, external AI systems can read data from NOVA AVA for further processing and, likewise, create and edit data in NOVA AVA. NEO provides a comprehensive toolset for this purpose, and the connection is established via the secure OAuth protocol.
NEO is an integral part of NOVA AVA and is therefore included in all packages, from Starter to Easy to Business. This allows you to harness the full power of our high-performance models and AI agents for your construction cost management. The MCP Add-ON is required to connect external AI systems (ChatGPT, Claude, Co-Pilot, Gemini, etc.) to NEO or NOVA AVA. During the ongoing beta test, this add-on is also included free of charge.
