The profile of our general contractor customers
Bausicht is in daily use on more than 100 construction sites and with over 50 customers. That is why we know the requirements of profiles like this one inside out:
Characteristics where Bausicht delivers great results for general contractors:
Turnkey building construction - offices, residential, hotels, urban quarters, through to KRITIS projects.
Our customers build in building construction - from shell to fit-out to turnkey construction, often with construction volumes from 50 million euros. As a general contractor you carry the overall responsibility and are jointly liable for your subcontractors, for example on minimum wage and social security contributions. When customs or the trade association turns up on site, what counts is proof of who was there and when. Bausicht combines access control, subcontractor management and record keeping in one system that runs in the background.
Often 100+ subcontractors and 1,000+ workers per site - over 2,000 subcontractors across all projects.
With subcontractors and workers changing daily, it is nearly impossible to keep the overview without a system. The traffic-light system makes the work clear and easy to understand: at a glance you see which documents are complete, expiring or outstanding - across all construction sites. Subcontractors register themselves via an invitation link and upload their documents in multiple languages, with digital signatures. And because existing logins work across projects, there is no duplicated work - above all not for the subcontractors.
Compliance and documentation duties - minimum wage, A1, general contractor liability.
Compliance runs on autopilot: the country logic is automated, the documentation is complete, and checking happens centrally in the back office - not on the construction site. You keep using your own templates or make them available to subcontractors for direct download. During an inspection, the report with master data and real-time attendance is ready at the push of a button.
Little time for system upkeep - the construction site simply has to run smoothly.
Plug and play instead of an IT project: the turnstile arrives preconfigured with a built-in SIM card, connecting the power is all it takes. Attendance is recorded automatically, and interfaces plus Excel import/export connect Bausicht to your existing systems. You do not spend time on the system - you only step in when it really counts.
Before switching to Bausicht, many of our customers used these systems and ways of working:
- Separate access control systems
- manual Excel lists
- Folders full of certificates
- ERP systems
- Phone & email
