Features

Everything a construction project needs

From estimating and site management to invoicing and post-calculation – in the office and on site.

Projects & construction schedule

Building projects with sections, trades, dates and milestones – with a construction schedule and dependencies.

BoQ, estimating & change orders

Import bills of quantities (LV) from GAEB, calculate unit prices and submit them as a bid (X84); change orders and quantity changes according to VOB/B.

Take-off & invoicing

Record quantities per BoQ item or import them as GAEB X31, create progress and final invoices according to VOB with retention and cash discount – as PDF and XRechnung.

Site diary

Record weather, staff, equipment, work performed, deliveries and obstructions with photos on your smartphone – even without a network connection; daily report as PDF.

Defect management

Pin defects directly on the floor plan, with photo, deadline and trade – in the site app and in the office. Subcontractors mark them as resolved through their own access.

Equipment & staff

Schedule crews, machines and vehicles across all sites and record hours precisely per project.

Post-calculation

Continuously compare planned and actual costs per cost type: labour, material, equipment and subcontractors.

Subcontractors & awarding

Requests as GAEB X83, bids as X84, bid comparison and awarding; contract in purchasing, invoices with construction withholding tax (Bauabzugsteuer) and commitments in the post-calculation.

Subcontractors

From request to invoice

One continuous workflow – from the bill of quantities and awarding to the costs in your project.

1

Request

Bundle BoQ items into a package and send it to subcontractors as GAEB X83.

2

Compare

Import bids as X84 or enter them manually; the bid comparison shows the ranking, unusual prices and your own estimate.

3

Award

Award with a single click – the subcontractor contract is created in purchasing and the tax exemption certificate (Freistellungsbescheinigung) is checked.

4

Invoice

Book the subcontractor's invoices: construction withholding tax is calculated, the costs appear in the post-calculation and the commitments in the forecast.

The site diary in your pocket

The site foreman records weather, staff, equipment, work performed and deliveries in the site app – with photos and even without a network connection. Obstructions are documented immediately and visible in the office.

  • Works offline, syncs when a connection is available
  • Daily report as PDF for the client
Invoicing

Take-off and progress invoice in one go

Enter take-off sheets manually or import them as GAEB X31. As soon as a sheet has been verified, it counts towards the next progress invoice – progress payments already invoiced are deducted automatically.

  • Verification status per take-off sheet, invoiced sheets locked
  • Invoice as PDF with embedded XRechnung

Quality

Defects right where they are

One tap on the plan, a photo, deadline and trade – done, even without a network connection. Subcontractors mark defects as resolved through their personal access – with a photo – while site management keeps track in the office all the way to acceptance.

  • Status and deadlines per trade, overdue items in red
  • Photos and history for every defect
Controlling

Post-calculation while you build

Booked hours, equipment usage and invoices from suppliers and subcontractors flow into the project continuously. So you see deviations while you can still take corrective action.

  • Planned and actual per cost type and BoQ item
  • Early warning as soon as an item exceeds its target
  • Commitments from awarded subcontractor work included in the forecast
