Cowi × Yesper

Case Study

“We have decades of knowledge in our databases, but our teams can't find it when deadlines are approaching."

The Company

COWI is an international engineering and consulting group with approximately 6,200 employees, driving projects in over 100 countries with a clear focus on sustainability and quality of life.

The Challenge

"I want our engineers to spend less time on admin tasks, and more on making innovative, value-driven decisions."

- Daron Omed, VP of Engineering for Heavy Civil, COWI

Time Pressure: Project engineers need to develop the right documentation in an extremely short time.

Vast Knowledge Legacy: Tens of thousands of projects, blueprints, and AMA entries that are rarely reused.
IT Security: All AI handling must take place in closed, ISO-compliant environments.

The Solution

COWI chose Yesper as AI solution and coaching partner, to map out business needs together, prioritize use-cases, and help teams create their first AI-driven workflows.

With its own isolated instance on Azure infrastructure meeting GDPR, ISO 27001, and the client's IT security requirements, Yesper meets COWI's strict security requirements.

Yesper delivers:

Automatic checklists & RAG engine that multi-stage verifies building requirements and flags deviations.
Quantify & Calculate – extracts and summarizes volumes from drawings and models within seconds.
No-code workflows, empowering teams to create recurring work routines without IT queues.

“It is crucial for us that the AI system is closed – higher security and accountability, and scalable with the organization's AI maturity.”

- Marius Weydahl Berg, Chief Business Development Officer

Why It Works

Kristofer Sommestad, one of the founders of Yesper: "AI is not about the hype, it’s about real value. In just a few months, we free up hundreds of engineering hours while also saving the climate through smarter material choices.”

Closed, secure environment: High trust and data protection encourage more people to use AI in critical projects.
Industry-trained model: Understands technical language, building codes, and COWI's historical data.
Guided implementation: Yesper acts as a partner & coach – not just as a license provider.
