SVEN
AI assistant for MT Højgaard — one of Scandinavia's largest construction groups. Cost estimators ask questions in everyday Danish and get structured answers in seconds.
Hours lost searching for the right number
Cost estimators at MT Højgaard spent hours searching through spreadsheets, PDFs, and legacy tools for project references. Knowledge lived in silos — one person's experience stayed in their head, and cost data sat scattered across disconnected systems.
What we built
A single conversational AI inside Microsoft Teams. Estimators ask questions in everyday Danish — "Find hospital projects over 200 million" — and get structured answers with context that carries across follow-ups. Delivered in four months from first meeting to production handover.
From question to answer in seconds
Search across projects
Type a question in Teams — "Find public housing in Copenhagen over 100 million DKK." SVEN returns a structured table of matching projects with budgets, areas, and summary statistics.
See the full cost picture
Ask for a cost breakdown on any project. Get an instant overview across all categories, with totals and AI-generated analysis of the cost structure.
Visualize and compare
Generate charts and visual breakdowns automatically — bar charts, sunburst diagrams, and side-by-side cost comparisons across projects.
Generate references
Create pre-qualification reference PDFs ready to send — complete with project facts, photos, and key figures. Access SharePoint documents and share findings, all from the same conversation.
Built for construction cost intelligence
