Cost calculations via AI
Ask your AI assistant about calculation lines, updated costs and margin per project. Instant answers from Exact Online Construction — no Excel export needed.
Calculations live apart from reality
In many construction companies a calculation is made at project start and then forgotten until delivery. Mid-project insight into actual vs. budgeted costs is missing — deviations are discovered too late.
Calculation and actuals are separate
Calculation lines in Exact, actual costs elsewhere. Comparing requires manual copy and paste.
Too late to see a project running over
Only at final review does it become clear structural was 20% over budget. By then nothing can be steered.
Margin per work part unknown
Total project margin says little — you want to know where you make money and where you lose it within the project.
No learnings for follow-up quotes
Without insight into which calculation items consistently overrun, follow-up quotes keep repeating the same mistakes.

Calculation vs. actuals
Ask directly how a project stands relative to calculation — per work part, per cost type.
Early warnings
Ask weekly "which projects risk going over calculation?" and adjust in time.
Margin per work part
Granular insight: see where in the project money is made or lost.
Calculation learnings for quotes
Compare multiple closed projects and see which calculation items are structurally under- or overestimated.
Ask your AI assistant
Ask these directly to ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or any AI assistant connected to Bouw Botje.
"What is the calculation vs. actuals for project PRJ-2026-014?"
"Which work parts are 10% over budget?"
"Compare the calculations of my last 5 residential projects"
"Which projects risk going over the main sum?"
"Show the margin per work part for the Aalsmeer project"
"Which calculation item is structurally underestimated in renovation projects?"
Manual calculation monitoring vs. AI-driven
Discover how AI enables continuous monitoring — instead of only at delivery.
