But what if the contents of the bill of quantities could be sorted, grouped and, above all, &#8220;calculated&#8221; in a completely different way?

Really useful &#8211; because you can now manage your construction specifications &#8220;hand in hand&#8221; with your Bill of Quantities. All together in your project and your master specifications. More overview and more order through one system = NOVA AVA. Increases efficiency and safety. The construction specification is often part of the contract &#8211; often even notarized.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is how it works:<\/strong> First activate the construction description in the administration settings under &#8220;Preferences &#8211; General &#8211; Texts&#8221;, then the heading titles are created in the department under &#8220;Construction description&#8221;. In the Bill of Quantities there is the new item property &#8220;Building description&#8221;. What you enter as text or image in this property is then output in a construction description document.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>April 3, 2024<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"v\">June 2024: Twice as much space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tipp-fur-den-mac-browserfenster-auf-zwei-bildschirmen\">Tip for the Mac: Browser window on two screens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows you to display your browser window beyond the edge of the monitor on two monitors.
