Projekt Pro

What Projekt Pro does

PROJEKT PRO GmbH is a German vertical software vendor that provides commercial planning, project management, and controlling software for architecture and engineering planning offices in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The product unifies time tracking, quotation/order/invoice creation, cost controlling, resource planning, project communication, defect and document management, and construction-diary workflows, with direct mapping of time entries to HOAI service phases (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure), the German fee regulation governing architect and engineer billing. The platform is built on the Claris FileMaker 20 database stack, runs on Windows 10/11 Pro 64-bit and macOS (Ventura, Sonoma, Tahoe), and is offered in two generations: PROJEKT PRO 12 (perpetual license, legacy) and PROJEKT PRO 24 (current subscription-based generation launched at BAU 2023), with deployment options spanning single-user installs (PRO solo), multi-user client/server (PRO client + PRO server), on-prem rental hardware (PRO server unit pro/business/enterprise), and virtualized cloud servers (PRO server cloud).

The commercial model combines subscription licenses (PRO 24), perpetual licenses (PRO 12), monthly rental of PRO server unit hardware and PRO server cloud infrastructure with 12-month minimum terms, and separate professional services for training (PRO Training) and support. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed list rates; distribution is direct via the website using demo-booking CTAs, free weekly Thursday webinars, 15-minute expert consultations, and trade-fair presence (e.g., BAU 2023). Marketing is reinforced through a blog, monthly newsletter (Inxmail), case studies, Google Ads, LinkedIn advertising, and B2B lead intelligence (SalesViewer). The company reports an installed base of more than 24,000 users across over 2,500 planning offices after 30 years in market.

PROJEKT PRO is headquartered in Neubeuern (Bavaria, Germany), led by Managing Directors Manfred Scholz and Matthias Werner, and as of February 2026 operates as part of the Orca Group, an LEA Partners-backed consortium of eight construction-software companies (Acclaro, BauerSoftware, COSOBA, ISHAP, NetzWerkPlan, ORCA Software, PROJEKT PRO, SOFTTECH) formed to digitalize construction projects across all phases; PROJEKT PRO had previously combined with SOFTTECH inside a shared enterprise group in February 2024, creating a combined team of approximately 100 employees.

Direct peers

• SOFTTECH: German provider of CAD/planning software for architects and engineers. Combined with PROJEKT PRO within an enterprise group (Feb 2024) and now jointly part of the Orca Group, serving the same DACH planning-office customer base with adjacent commercial and planning software capabilities.
• California.pro: German project management software specifically designed for architects and engineers. Directly comparable in target customer (A&E planning offices), vertical specialization, and DACH geographic focus to PROJEKT PRO.
• ORCA Software: German AVA (cost estimation and tender management) software vendor within the Orca Group. Competes/overlaps with PROJEKT PRO's optional ORCA AVA integration and serves a shared DACH A&E customer base with complementary cost-control capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Nevaris (formerly Nemetschek Bausoftware): German-speaking construction ERP and project management software vendor within the Nemetschek Group. Targets the same architecture/engineering and construction buyer base as PROJEKT PRO with a broader portfolio spanning ERP, accounting, and project control.
• RIB Software: Established German construction software vendor (now part of Schneider Electric) offering project management and ERP for AEC firms. Operates across the DACH market with significantly larger scale and a broader portfolio than PROJEKT PRO.
• Nemetschek Group (Allplan, Graphisoft, Bluebeam): Global AEC software conglomerate with multiple brands covering CAD, BIM, and project management. Competes with PROJEKT PRO for the architecture and engineering planning-office buyer across DACH through Allplan and adjacent brands.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Global cloud-native AEC project management suite covering design collaboration, cost control, and field management. Represents the cloud-native competitive threat to PROJEKT PRO's on-prem/FileMaker architecture in the DACH market.
• Procore: US-headquartered construction project management platform with growing DACH presence. Targets general contractors and owners; a broader competitor than PROJEKT PRO but increasingly relevant for joint venture and enterprise A&E relationships.

Emerging players

• PlanRadar: Austrian SaaS for construction site documentation, defect management, and task tracking. Overlaps with PROJEKT PRO's Mängelmanagement/Deficiency Management and digital construction diary modules in DACH.

Regional players

• microTOOL: German provider of process and project management software (in-Step) used in engineering environments. Adjacent in DACH A&E planning workflows but with a broader, less HOAI-specialized product scope than PROJEKT PRO.
