What Bauwise does

Bauwise OÜ is a Tallinn-headquartered private software company that provides a cloud-based construction cost management platform for general contractors, real estate developers, and project owners. The platform is purpose-built for the commercial and financial control of subcontract-driven construction projects, delivering real-time visibility into budgets, actual costs, commitments, change orders, and cash flow across complex project portfolios. Its product portfolio comprises modular capabilities: Automated Budgeting and Forecasting (with FTC and EAC tracking), AI-powered Purchase Invoice Management, Cash Flow Forecasting, Tender Management, Applications for Payment (with a subcontractor portal), Change Order Management, Purchase Orders and Contracts Management, and ERP/Accounting Integration connectors for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Odoo, SAP, QuickBooks, and Xero, plus a Mobile App on iOS and Android. The company also distributes free downloadable construction cost management templates (RFQ tables, budgets, daily reports, CVR reports, cash flow) as a top-of-funnel acquisition lever.

Under the hood, the platform distinguishes itself through an Excel-like construction-specific user interface designed for fast adoption by quantity surveyors and project finance teams, an AI-powered invoice data extraction capability for automating purchase invoice processing via image recognition, and bi-directional ERP integrations that eliminate manual duplicate data entry. Tender Management was co-developed with major Baltic contractors (Mapri Ehitus, Kaamos, NOBE, Tesron Ehitus), embedding practical procurement workflows. Microsoft Power BI integration enables customer-built dashboards on top of Bauwise data, as operationalised by SIRIN Development.

Bauwise monetises through tiered subscription SaaS licensing (ESSENTIAL, ADVANCED, PROFESSIONAL, ENTERPRISE), with a 14-day free trial enabling self-serve adoption for SMB and mid-market buyers, and an enterprise field-sales motion (Book a Demo, custom enterprise pricing) for large accounts. The company primarily operates in the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) with emerging presence in the UK and Spain. Named enterprise customers include Urban Partners (€9B portfolio, 150+ projects), NREP, EIKA Development (€300M+ project volume), SIRIN Development (500,000 m² Baltic logistics portfolio), Nordecon, Merko, and over 20 other contractors and developers. The company is led by CEO Mikk Ilumaa, with Kairi Rosen heading Product Management; the firm is privately held, with no disclosed external funding rounds and revenue figures that are not publicly reported.
