Innovative applications for digital construction project planning
“I was impressed by the outstanding implementation of my idea for paperless construction project planning and by the straightforward collaboration with IT Sonix on the process and cost-effectiveness aspects of app development.”
René Schröter | Managing Director
Since April 2013, we have developed innovative applications in the field of mobile construction project planning for BAPP GmbH. The apps BAPP and BAPP report were created during this collaboration. Both applications offer construction companies the unique advantages of collaborative, digital project organisation and implementation.
Key areas of cooperation
Objectives
The objective of the project was to develop simple digital solutions to meet the day-to-day mobility needs of different professionals in the construction industry.
Key factors
- Usability design
- Responsive design
- Mobile first
- Hybrid development
- Data security
- Digitised signature
- Server infrastructure
- Continuous deployment
- Scrum
Implementation
- Ergonomically convincing design
- Adaptability of the app to different end devices in the Android and iOS environments
- Developing an efficient solution for handling large volumes of data
- Cross-platform data synchronisation
- Cross-platform parallel cooperation between different users
- Creating a product website
- App store management
- Product management tasks
Results
Intuitive apps and a web application are now available for end users. All project resources are being digitised. The large-format paper construction plans previously used can now be viewed directly on site in the app. Construction statuses, defects, tasks, contacts and appointments can also be logged and forwarded immediately. Correspondence using a digitised signature is considerably faster and more straightforward. Everyone involved in the project is reliably kept up to date on current progress.
Outlook
The vision of a paperless construction planning office offers a wealth of opportunities. As well as more efficient coordination with existing civil engineering and CAD tools, the aim is to integrate these apps into the planning and control processes of construction companies. Connecting ERP and documentation systems will be a significant milestone in the ongoing development of BAPP. Potential customer-specific customisations also offer promising development prospects.
