Bauzeitenplan

Baustellen planen mit Bauzeitenplan

Bauzeitenplan is a construction scheduling program from WEKA Bausoftware, a German publisher of software for building trades and architects. Its pitch is that planning a build should be more flexible than doing it in a spreadsheet and simpler than using MS Project. Plans are made by dragging and dropping, so a craftsperson or site manager can lay out phases and move them as a job changes.

What the planner covers

Beyond the schedule itself, the product brings in material orders, appointment handling with notifications, and a diary that records what happens on a project. A smartphone app was added so the plan can be used on site and not only at a desk. Quotations and invoices appear in the company's wider range, which is aimed at the paperwork that follows a booking.

A product within a wider range

WEKA Bausoftware describes its portfolio as accompanying every building phase from planning through to handover. Alongside Bauzeitenplan it sells a site documentation tool that links a smartphone and a PC for photo records, a complete tendering and billing program that carries a large library of standard items, and a digital assistant for questions of building law. The company says its software is meant for professional use only, and it supplies businesses, freelancers and public bodies rather than consumers.
