Construction & building trades

Project quotes in 2 hours
instead of 2 days.

Automated quoting from your PDF or IFC drawings, AI-driven site monitoring, agents for specs and tender response. Built for construction SMEs that want their margins and lead times back under control.

What's eating your project margins

5 blind spots that turn a great project into a loss-making site.

15–25 %

Of a project manager's time spent quoting

Manual take-off on PDF drawings, re-keying into Batappli or Tolteck, supplier back-and-forth: each quote eats 1 to 2 days.

Recurring

Cost items missed or under-estimated at quoting

Handling, scaffolding, plant rental, site constraints: those omissions silently chew away at margins.

Weekly

Visibility limited to the on-site meeting

Between two visits, monitoring relies on WhatsApp photos and team leads' memory. Drift settles in before anyone sees it.

Scattered

Specs, IFC drawings, sign-offs all over the place

Three clouds, two servers, a paper print in the van. The right document is never within reach of the right person.

Blind

Sub-contractors hard to coordinate

Non-conformities, delays, back-charges: the evidence is missing the moment you need to defend a retention or change order.

Sector benchmarks — OLIXID is starting in the construction industry in 2025 and has no published case study yet. We commit to method, not to outcome guarantees.

Primary use case

Automated project quoting straight from your drawings

Drop a PDF, a DWG or an IFC file. The AI agent detects surfaces, volumes and works packages, cross-references your unit-price library (Batiprix, Batichiffrage or your own) and produces a bill of quantities ready to fine-tune in Batappli or Tolteck.

  • Auto take-off of surfaces, linear metres and volumes from PDF / DWG / IFC.
  • Connected unit-price library (Batiprix, Batichiffrage, your in-house rates).
  • Missing-item detection by comparison with your past projects.
  • One-click export to Batappli, Tolteck, EBP Bâtiment or Excel.
Quotes in 2 h instead of 16 h, tighter margins by several points
02

AI-powered site monitoring

Fixed cameras or weekly drone runs: progress, PPE compliance, zone occupation, equipment count. Auto-generated dashboard for the client.

Reduced safety incidents, real-time alerts
03

AI agent for specs & tenders

Tender pack ingestion, key requirement extraction, technical memo drafting, consistency check against your pricing file.

Sharply lower response time on public tenders
04

Resource planning & scheduling

Multi-project Gantt optimisation, crew levelling, drift detection via AI agents cross-referencing past projects and live progress. Re-allocation suggested as soon as drift appears.

Higher crew productivity, delays flagged several days ahead
Quote cycle · before / after

From received drawing to sent quote: 2 days → 2 hours.

On a typical refurbishment project (structural + finishing trades), for illustration, SMEs typically move from 16 cumulative quoting hours to 2 hours of validation — IFC drawings included.

Our 4-step method

From a first pilot quote to multi-project rollout.

01

Quote-to-site cycle audit

Immersion in the design office and on site, mapping of existing tools, selection of 3 reference projects for benchmarking.

Week 1
02

Quoting automation pilot

Connection to your unit-price library, training on 20 past quotes, sign-off by your reference project manager.

Week 2–4
03

Site rollout

Batappli / Tolteck / EBP Bâtiment connector, vision and planning modules, design-office and site-manager training.

Week 5–8
04

Scale

Multi-branch, multi-trade, monthly agent review (extraction quality, drift, governance), continuous learning from delivered projects.

Month 3+
Site control · project manager view

Spot drift before it costs you 3 weeks.

Your packages compress and stretch in real time. The AI cross-references vision-based progress, sub-contractor reports and dependencies to flag — as early as week 3 — what will overrun by week 12.

What you walk away with

A quoting and monitoring system, not a demo.

  • Quoting AI agent connected to your unit-price library
  • Custom connectors to Batappli / Tolteck / EBP Bâtiment / Sage Bâtiment depending on available APIs
  • Site vision module (fixed cams or drone) with real-time dashboard
  • CCTP / IFC / as-built workspace searchable in natural language
  • Margins and progress dashboard across all projects
  • EU AI Act + GDPR compliance dossier for your sub-contractors
  • Design-office + project-manager training (1 day)
Business stack we know how to interface with (existing API or built on demand)

No ERP to replace. Your tools stay in place.

Compliance & regulation

French Public Procurement Code (book IV), RE 2020, decennial and biennial liability, EU AI Act: an audit-ready dossier.

Our deployments comply with public works ownership rules under the French Public Procurement Code, book IV (which replaced the MOP law in 2018), the RE 2020 carbon thresholds for buildings, and the decennial / biennial liability chain. On the AI side, a vision system on a construction site that influences worker safety can be classed as 'high-risk' under the EU AI Act: we systematically document the functional scope, measured performance, the human-in-the-loop and an incident registry — and we select third-party vision components that ship their own compliance dossier. Employee and sub-contractor data stays under your control, hosted in France or the EU, GDPR compliant.
