Why drywall contractors need specialized software
Drywall construction means: fast installation, transparent billing.
Partition walls, suspended ceilings, wall linings, shaft encasements — you work with drywall, profiles, and mineral wool, and you calculate by the square meter, not by the hour. What you don't need is software that looks the same for every trade. plancraft is the software for drywall contractors that actually understands your daily routine: take measurements directly on your iPad, calculate using square-meter pricing for boards and profiles, and generate quotes in minutes instead of spending your weekends on them. So you can stop managing Excel spreadsheets at night and finally get some sleep.
The most important features for interior finishing
Writing invoices whilst the wall is still drying
With the integrated invoicing programme, you can create quotations, order confirmations, interim and final invoices directly from the order — without having to enter data twice. plancraft generates e-invoices in XRechnung format at the touch of a button and sends your documents to your tax adviser via DATEV export. This means that, as a drywall fitter, you’ll be complying with the e-invoicing requirement from 2025 onwards without even realising it.
Measuring for plasterboard work: tap instead of calculating
When you’re on site with a customer, you can take measurements directly via the app on your iPad — just enter the height, width and door openings, and you’re done. All the figures are automatically fed into your quote and all subsequent documents. No more measurement pads, handwritten notes or typing errors.
Costing for drywall construction: create it once, use it again and again
Single or double-skinned partition walls, suspended ceilings, cladding — every job consists of building blocks that you calculate time and time again. In the plancraft drywall costing programme, you set them up once with a price per square metre, materials and an hourly rate. The next time you draw up a quote, you simply drag and drop them in with a click — materials and labour are calculated in real time, and you can keep an eye on your margin.
Scheduling board: all building sites, all staff, one screen
Three building sites running simultaneously, two teams, and delayed material deliveries thrown in — and every morning everyone’s asking you for updates. With the digital planning board, you can see at a glance who’s on which site and when, and reschedule appointments using drag-and-drop. Everyone involved receives updates instantly on their smartphone — no more morning phone chains and messages flying back and forth.
The trial is completely free and without obligation. Alternatively, you can book a demo session and have a Plancraft team member guide you through the software.
