NEVARIS
NEVARIS is the construction-industry ERP suite from the Nemetschek Group, a publicly listed software house focused on the AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) sector. The product family addresses German and Austrian construction firms across building, civil-engineering and specialist-foundation contracting, plus architecture and planning practices. NEVARIS is one of a small set of vertically focused construction ERPs in the DACH region; its competitive position rests on combining the AVA process — the German shorthand for the Ausschreibung-Vergabe-Abrechnung tender-award-billing cycle — with finance and payroll built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Product family
The portfolio splits into several core products that work alone or together. NEVARIS Build is the process-oriented AVA and construction-management software with modules for tender, award, billing, costing, sub-contractor management and project controlling. NEVARIS Finance covers five functional blocks: financial accounting (general ledger, fixed assets, AR/AP, project billing), controlling (cost and contract accounting), construction payroll with personnel master data, time recording and pay computation, plus billing-cycle support. The split lets a customer adopt only the AVA side, only the back-office side, or the full stack depending on which legacy systems are being replaced.
Technology and platform
NEVARIS Finance is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, which means customers benefit from the large Microsoft partner ecosystem, a modern cloud architecture and continuous release cadence. NEVARIS Build runs on its own platform optimised for construction-specific workflows. The Business Central foundation is a meaningful strategic choice: it gives NEVARIS access to Microsoft's broader investment in cloud, AI and ISV tooling, in contrast to verticals built on proprietary stacks.
Target audience
NEVARIS spans the construction-industry spectrum: small contractors with 20 to 100 employees, classical Mid-Market contractors in building, civil and specialist foundation work, and large construction groups with several hundred employees. Architecture and planning practices also use NEVARIS, especially the AVA-side products. The vertical depth means it is rarely a first-time-ERP product for non-construction businesses, but is a strong fit when the customer's primary process is bid-to-billing on construction projects.
DACH localisation and DATEV
NEVARIS Finance inherits the DATEV interfaces from Business Central. DATEV is the German cooperative of tax advisors whose data format is the de facto standard for SME finance exchange in Germany — integration depth here matters for any customer whose external accountant works in the DATEV ecosystem. GoBD compliance — the German principles for audit-trail, immutability and archiving of tax-relevant data — is covered through the Business Central foundation. Construction-payroll specifics for German collective agreements (BRTV-Bau and related) are handled natively in the Baulohn module.
Competition and implementation
NEVARIS Finance competes with construction-ERP specialists such as BRZ, RIB iTWO and PDS, and is regularly compared to classical Mid-Market ERPs (SAP, Sage 100, Microsoft Dynamics) extended with construction add-ons. NEVARIS Build competes in the AVA space with California, ARRIBA/iTWO civil and smaller AVA specialists. Implementations run either through NEVARIS' own consulting teams or through certified Microsoft Dynamics partners; data migration from BRZ, BBC, Kowi or older construction ERPs is typically the critical-path workstream. Licensing is available as classical perpetual licence or subscription, including cloud subscription on the Business Central platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is NEVARIS Finance built on Microsoft Business Central?
Yes. NEVARIS Finance is a construction-vertical extension on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This gives the customer the Business Central cloud platform, partner ecosystem and release cadence, with NEVARIS adding the construction-specific functional depth.
Does NEVARIS handle German construction payroll?
Yes. The Baulohn module in NEVARIS Finance covers German construction-payroll specifics including the BRTV-Bau collective agreement, working-time accounts and the construction-specific social-insurance handling.
Can NEVARIS run as pure cloud SaaS?
NEVARIS Finance is available as a Business Central cloud subscription. NEVARIS Build also supports cloud deployment but is more commonly seen on-premise or as managed hosting because of the document and CAD interfaces typical in tender management.
What systems do NEVARIS customers typically migrate from?
Most NEVARIS migrations come from BRZ, BBC, Kowi or older construction ERP stacks. Master data, open items, in-flight construction projects and personnel data are the typical migration objects, and a clean migration is consistently the make-or-break of the project.
