First construction platform in the industry to embed an AI assistant trained on all major international and Indian construction standards — rate buildup, specification writing, clause interpretation, and mix design, all in one place.
No other PDF-based estimating tool provides excavation quantity takeoff with slope calculation. Competitors only handle area, linear, and count — NEMO™ goes deeper.
A QS starts measuring immediately — no template setup, no blank spreadsheet. Industry-standard Bill of Quantities sections are preloaded per revision, ready to fill.
Cost per m² across all elements — Gross Internal Floor Area and Built-up Area benchmarking built directly into the measurement table. No separate module or export step required.
Manpower, Machinery, and Material cost breakdown per revision — with a top-contributor ranking. No competitor offers this level of resource accountability built into the estimating tool.
PDF and Excel reports delivered to clients in one click — no switching to an email client. Cost comparisons, BOQ, and resource reports all emailable from within NEMO™.
Visual cost-change narrative between IFC revisions — ready for client presentations and value engineering workshops. No competitor tracks and charts cost change across revisions.
AI reads the drawing and detects wall boundaries automatically — dramatically reducing manual polygon tracing time on floor plans.
Clients, auditors, and site staff can be added at zero cost. The entire industry charges per seat for every user — NEMO™ only charges for active contributors.
Full project intelligence from any location on mobile data — earned value, critical path float, Kanban board, site photo uploads, and the latest revision drawings. No competitor offers a mobile-first field experience with planning analytics.
All four competing products require Windows installation or a corporate VPN. NEMO™ runs in a browser or native app on 4G/5G from any project site, anywhere in the world.
Engineers update task status live during weekly review meetings from their phones — no post-meeting spreadsheet updates, no version confusion, no delay.
Traditional desktop tools either provide rate analysis or takeoff — not both in one place. NEMO™ is the only platform that fully integrates both — from drawing to priced BOQ in one workflow.
Upload the client's own Excel BOQ into NEMO™ — then bind measured quantities from the drawing to each BOQ line item. Rates auto-fill from the rate library. Compare revisions and export the priced BOQ in one step. No re-keying, no separate spreadsheet.
Import any P6 XER file, edit the full schedule in NEMO™ Plan, and export back to a valid XER that reopens natively in Primavera P6. Full bidirectional integration — the only browser-based tool to achieve this without a desktop client.
Monte Carlo-based probabilistic schedule risk analysis built into every project. P50, P80, and P95 completion dates calculated automatically. Near-critical task watch list with float ≤ 21 days flagged for PM attention. No competing browser-based planning tool offers schedule risk analysis at this level.
Every measured element — areas, walls, linear paths, count items — instantly rendered in 3D with the PDF floor plan as the ground plane. Click any 3D element to inspect live quantities and cost. No BIM model required — the 3D view is generated entirely from PDF-based measurements.
Export an entire project — all PDFs, every measurement, all workbook BOQs — as a single .nemo archive. Share with another office, back up before handover, or restore to a different workspace. Full data portability with no cloud dependency for the archive itself.
