Stay organized with the project folder

The digital construction file contains all project-related information and can also be thought of as a digital project folder: client details, quotations, invoices, hours worked, additional services, messages, photos and external documents. Everything is stored centrally, sorted automatically and can be accessed online at any time – whether on the move or in the office. In this way, plancraft supports efficient and structured job management in the skilled trades.

In practice, this means that you manage your entire construction project online, with centralised access to all project-related data. All information is stored in a structured manner within the digital construction file, documented in an audit-proof manner, and available at all times to everyone involved in the project – whether in the office or on site. You can access your digital project file on the go via your smartphone or tablet, or from your computer.

Compared with analogue filing, digital construction files offer numerous advantages: greater organisation, faster access, mobile access, automatic sorting and a clear overview of all data. You avoid paper clutter, save time in the office and gain greater control over your ongoing construction projects.

All data in the digital construction file is stored in a secure cloud environment, encrypted in accordance with the GDPR. You retain full control over access rights within your team. Even in the event of device failures or when staff are on holiday, you can still access your digital project file at any time.

The digital construction file is particularly well suited to tradespeople, construction firms, project managers, architects and anyone who wishes to manage construction projects efficiently and in a structured manner. It is especially useful for businesses that want to work more digitally and value automated processes, clear communication and centrally stored documents.

The digital project folder ensures that, for every job, you know immediately what needs to be done and what has already been completed. This saves time, reduces errors and creates greater transparency in your digital project management. Particularly handy: the automatic documentation of additional work, services and construction progress – recorded directly on site and clearly accessible in the office. This means your digital construction documentation is not only complete, but also legally compliant and traceable at all times – for you and your clients. The integrated digital planning board allows you to coordinate your projects, staff and assignments efficiently. You can see at a glance who is working where and when, which projects are underway and where there is still spare capacity. This saves time during planning, prevents downtime and ensures greater clarity across the whole team. With the project-specific chat feature, you can communicate quickly and effectively – whether with the office or your team on site. All messages, images and information are stored within the relevant construction project and can be accessed at any time. This finally enables you to digitise your business – in a structured, mobile and future-proof way.

Whether it’s digital document storage, project communication, real-time costing or time tracking – with plancraft, you have everything you need to successfully manage your digital construction file online – all in one central place, specially developed to meet the needs of the trades.
