Klava AIPrevent costly surprises before you sign

Klava AI

Klava AI is the first AI-native tendering platform built specifically for the construction industry. It transforms how construction professionals handle tendering workflows—from bill of quantities creation through contract award—using intelligent automation that understands GAEB standards and VOB regulations. By replacing manual processes with AI-powered analysis, Klava AI reduces change orders, catches scope gaps before they become costly disputes, and delivers audit-ready documentation.

Product Highlights

• AI Contract Preamble Check: Automatically analyzes Vorbemerkungen (contract preamble clauses) to identify ambiguous language and scope gaps that typically lead to change orders after award.
• Intelligent Bid Comparison: Detects pricing outliers with configurable thresholds, identifies unpriced positions, and generates AI summaries explaining why bids differ—not just which is cheapest.
• Multi-Format Bid Processing: Accepts bids in GAEB, Excel, and PDF formats, eliminating software barriers and expanding your qualified bidder pool for better competition.
• GAEB-Native Workflow: Full support for GAEB X83/X84 standards with seamless import, editing, and export capabilities aligned with German construction regulations.
• AI-Assisted BoQ Creation: Instantly imports GAEB files with complete position descriptions and upcoming natural language drafting for new positions.

Use Cases

• Pre-Award Risk Mitigation: Cross-reference every bill of quantities position against contract preambles to flag gaps and ambiguities before they become disputed change orders.
• Competitive Bid Evaluation: Compare multiple contractor bids with AI-powered outlier detection and deviation analysis to distinguish genuine cost advantages from calculation errors.
• Audit-Ready Award Documentation: Automatically generate Vergabevermerk (§20 VOB/A) and Vergabebegründung documents with complete audit trails for regulatory compliance.
• In-House Tendering Management: Replace legacy software like ORCA or NOVA with an integrated workflow from BoQ creation through final award notice.

Target Audience

Klava AI serves project managers, owner's representatives, housing companies, developers with in-house planning teams, and institutional asset holders who manage construction tendering workflows and require VOB/A-compliant processes. It is designed for professionals who regularly work with GAEB files and need to make defensible, transparent award decisions.
