As a subcontractor or freelancer in construction you often work for multiple main contractors at the same time. Each assignment has its own hour tracking and invoicing terms — frequently with VAT reverse-charge. With Bouw Botje you connect Exact Online Construction to your AI assistant via the MCP protocol. Log your hours per assignment, ask what you still need to invoice, check outstanding invoices and draft new invoices with the VAT rates from your administration, including reverse-charge — all in plain language. Ideal for specialists working on site who do not want to lose hours to admin after the work day.

Challenges
Construction industry challenges
Common pain points that Bouw Botje solves for you.
Hours per client
Working for multiple main contractors at once means matching many different assignments and projects.
Invoicing with VAT reverse-charge
Applying VAT reverse-charge correctly on every invoice to a main contractor takes extra checking.
Tracking outstanding invoices
Who still owes, which invoices are past their due date? Information is often scattered.
Recording hours afterwards
After a day on site, doing another hour of admin is the biggest frustration for many freelancers.
