BauMaster

What BauMaster does

BauMaster, operated by PASit software GmbH, is a cloud-based SaaS construction project management platform headquartered in Seewalchen am Attersee, Austria, with a satellite UK office in London and infrastructure hosted in Vienna. Founded in 2016 by Walter Fürthauer (CEO) and Gudrun Mertl, the company targets construction site managers, general contractors, property developers, architects, civil engineers, and facility managers — primarily in the DACH region — with a German-language-first product that is increasingly available in English. The platform centralizes the digital construction file: protocols, site diaries, photo documentation (with GPS, series mode, sketching), plan management with markers, BIM/IFC viewing (via Autodesk integration, supporting models up to 1GB), task tracking, construction scheduling with MS Project import/export, cost management, and downstream CAFM, fire safety, and facility management modules, all delivered via browser and native Android/iOS apps. The company's revenue model is per-named-user SaaS subscription (monthly or annual billing in advance), with a free 30-day trial, a free read-only viewer license, GDPR-compliant EU servers, and an open REST API for third-party integration. Distribution combines self-serve PLG with personal sales consultation, supported by the BauMaster Academy, comparison content versus PlanRadar and Capmo, and a channel partnership with Softcreate IT GmbH for the German market. With 1-10 employees and no external funding, BauMaster is a bootstrapped, owner-managed (Eigentümergeführt) operation whose 2024 product launches (Education App, REST API) and UK expansion indicate active but capital-constrained growth.

Direct peers

• PlanRadar: PlanRadar is an Austrian SaaS for construction site documentation, defect management, and project communication. It is the most direct competitor to BauMaster in the DACH market, providing a near-overlapping set of features (site diary, photo documentation, defect tracking, task management) and explicitly referenced in BauMaster's own comparison content.
• Capmo: Capmo is a German construction management SaaS offering defect management, construction diary, and site documentation. It targets the same site manager and contractor personas as BauMaster in the German-speaking market and is also referenced in BauMaster's own competitive comparison content.
• Fieldwire: Fieldwire is a US-origin construction field management platform for task management, punch lists, plans, and inspections. It targets the same construction-site personas as BauMaster (foremen, site managers, subcontractors) with a similar mobile-first approach.
• LetsBuild: LetsBuild (formerly GenieBelt) is a European construction project management SaaS offering site diary, snagging, quality and safety features. It targets general contractors and site teams in Europe, directly overlapping with BauMaster's primary use cases.
• Archdesk: Archdesk is a construction management SaaS platform covering project planning, documentation, and team collaboration for contractors. It targets similar DACH and European segments with overlapping workflow features.

Broad incumbents

• Procore Technologies: Procore is the largest publicly listed construction management SaaS platform globally, covering project management, quality and safety, and field collaboration for general contractors and owners. It operates at far greater scale than BauMaster and represents the dominant "incumbent" alternative for enterprises that need broad functionality.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk Construction Cloud (including BuildingConnected, PlanGrid, BIM 360) provides construction document management, BIM collaboration, and field tools. It is an existing integration partner for BauMaster via the BIM Viewer but also a broader incumbent competing for the same enterprise customers.
• Bluebeam (Nemetschek Group): Bluebeam provides PDF-based markup, drawing collaboration, and document control for construction and engineering. While document-centric rather than full PM, it competes for the same construction-documentation wallet and complements BIM workflows that BauMaster's BIM Viewer addresses.
• Thinkproject: Thinkproject (now part of Drees & Sommer group operations) provides construction project management solutions for infrastructure and building projects across Europe. It is a broader incumbent alternative for larger construction projects, particularly in DACH and surrounding markets.

Emerging players

• 120degrees: 120degrees is a Norwegian construction site SaaS for daily reporting, snags, and safety observation. It addresses overlapping use cases to BauMaster (site diary, defect management) but is at an earlier stage and primarily focused on the Nordic region.
