Built by a Civil Engineer who got fed up.

I’m Alexios Kavallaris — Alex to most people who’ve worked with me. I’m a Civil Engineer.

I spent the last 27 years on roading and infrastructure projects across Greece, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia. Five of those years were with Waka Kotahi NZTA on the Waikato Expressway, where I administered some of the largest contracts under NZS 3910 in the country. Variations in the hundreds of thousands. Payment claims due monthly. RFIs piled in dozens. Notices and NCRs threading through every team and every consultant.

Here’s the thing I learned: the contract maths that legally drives a project doesn’t live in a project management tool. It lives in a spreadsheet on someone’s shared drive, with a folder of PDFs alongside it, and a long email thread tying them together.

Procore, Aconex, the other big platforms — they’re built for big-end-of-town document control. They’re great at storing a thousand drawings. None of them help a Civil Engineer or Engineer’s Representative actually run the contract — certify a payment claim under the right retention bands, authorise a variation against your delegation gate, route a Notice through approval, prove the maths to the client at month-end.

So I built Gnosis. Drop in a contractor’s claim, get a Certificate of Payment. Drop in a variation, get an authorised Variation Order. With the NZS 3910 clauses, the CCA 2002 statutory notices, the retention bands, the GST, and the multi-currency support for the Australian and US projects that work the same way under different terminology.

Gnosis is what I wanted on every project for two decades. It’s now what we offer to every project manager, contract administrator, Engineer’s Representative, and contractor on the engineering and infrastructure side. Your project could be one of our first 50.
