In civil engineering, ground, road and water works (GWW in Dutch) you often deal with large, long-running projects where bill of quantities, equipment usage and standard tender specifications are key. Instalments are issued based on actually executed metres, cubic metres and units. With Bouw Botje you connect Exact Online Construction to your AI assistant via the MCP protocol. Ask for project status, view equipment usage and subcontractor hours, log hours of in-house staff and create instalments based on measured quantities. Whether you do road construction, sewage, cable and pipe laying or earthworks — AI helps you stay in control of complex project administration.

Issuing instalments based on actually executed quantities requires precise measurement and bookkeeping.
