Cost
Price lists
Matching each work description to the right item in a regional price list, line by line, for every bill of quantities.
Planning · Software · Munich
For everyone who plans, checks and answers for building projects.
We find where planning work gets stuck — in documents, checks and searches — and build what removes it. Checked as carefully as the stakes require.
01
Where planning work gets stuck
Rarely in the design. Mostly in the repeated work around it: documents to compare, rules to check, items to look up. Three examples of the work we look at:
Law
Building codes
Checking a question against the building code and its ordinances, and finding the paragraph that actually applies.
Contract
Change orders
Comparing a change order with the contract and the specifications, to see what is really new.
Your bottleneck may be none of these. That is why we start by listening.
02
Who it is for
The same method fits every desk where building projects are planned, checked or answered for. Below, one example application per field — examples of what could be built, not finished projects.
Example application
Architecture and engineering
Matching work descriptions in a bill of quantities to the regional price list, with the source line shown next to each match.
Example application
Project management
Checking a change or a meeting decision against the contract documents, and naming the paragraph it touches.
Example application
Real estate and developers
A first reading of what the local building rules allow on a plot before a decision, with every statement quoted from the rule it rests on.
Example application
Construction
Comparing supplier offers with the specification text, position by position, and flagging what is missing or different.

How we work
Small steps, each with an end date. You decide after every one.
Listen
Two weeks with your team. We see where the time goes and which checks matter. You get an overview, the possible outcomes and, where it helps, quick test sketches.
Build the smallest useful thing
One workflow for one bottleneck, on your own documents. Not a platform.
Pilot with an end date
Your team uses it on real work. We measure it on your material, not on ours.
You decide
Keep it, change it or stop. Training is part of it, so your team knows what the tool does and where it stops.
Rigour in proportion to the stakes
A wrong price item costs an hour. A wrong answer on building law can cost a permit. So every workflow states what is checked by code, what an AI model proposes, and what a person must confirm.
What we offer
- Workflows
- Built around one task in your office, with its checks inside.
- Training
- For teams who already use AI and want to know where it fails.
- Consulting
- Where AI is worth it in your processes, and where it is not.
04
Two demos on public data
They show the method, not a finished product. Real projects get a workflow built on their own documents and checks.
Price lists · Italy
Price-list search
Describe a work item in your own words. The search goes through the public price list of Lombardy and shows five candidate families. You choose; the AI can add a check and a status, but it never chooses for you.
How we tested itHard requests taken from real specifications, searched against the whole price list — not a short list prepared for the test. A first test, not a validation. On your own price list, with your rules, we measure again.

Building law · Bavaria
Bavarian Building Code
Questions on the Bavarian Building Code (BayBO). Every quoted passage is checked word for word against the official text by code; the answer around it can still be wrong. General information, not legal advice.
In preparation
KI · AIAnswers in the demos are proposed by an AI model. Check every result before you use it.

Architetto, registered in Italy since 2013, based in Munich. More than seven years in German planning offices — HENN, Behnisch Architekten, KSP Engel — on competitions, masterplans and design from concept to permit.
Plus the software side: an MAS in Digital Fabrication and Architecture at ETH Zurich, tools in Grasshopper and Python.
beyondgeometry is small on purpose. You talk to the person who builds the tool, and who has sat on your side of the table. Where a project needs a specialist — in law, cost planning or engineering — we bring one in and tell you who.
