What Housebook Solutions does

Housebook Solutions GmbH is an Austrian SaaS company headquartered in St. Johann in Tirol that develops digital documentation software for construction sites and property management. The platform consists of two integrated products: the Housebook App (an iOS and Android mobile application for on-site photo documentation and defect logging with offline mode) and Housebook Control (a cloud-based web dashboard for project structure, archive management, and team coordination). Each property receives a unique, weatherproof QR code (rated 10+ years) that links physical locations to digital records, and the platform claims to be the first European app to integrate 3D BIM software via hyperlink for defect localization. Compliance with Austrian property safety standards Ö-Norm B 1300 and TRVB O 120 is built into the safety inspection workflow, serving as a quality certification for properties.

The company serves six primary segments: general contractors and site supervisors (ÖBA), property developers and investors, insurance companies and brokers (for digital risk inspections), architects and real estate developers, safety specialists, and technical property managers. Named customers include Volks-Bau- und Sparverein Frankfurt am Main (over 10,000 QR codes across 600+ projects), insurance brokers Pantaenius and Brindlinger, insurer Alte Leipziger, public-sector operator Sozialzentrum Pillerseetal, and Danish educational center Bildungsstätte Knivsberg. The company markets itself as serving architects, planning offices, construction supervisors, general contractors, developers, property managers, commercial operators, and building owners.

Housebook operates a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led growth (a 20-day free trial with up to 60 QR codes, app store distribution, and self-serve signup via the web control platform) with founder-led direct enterprise sales for larger contracts. Pricing is quote-based across three annual subscription tiers (Basic, Pro, Enterprise), with no publicly disclosed list prices; payment is accepted via credit card, PayPal, and bank transfer on annual billing cycles. Housebook is a privately held, founder-owned company (CEO Christian Schniersmeyer) with no disclosed external funding, operating primarily in the DACH region with limited expansion into Denmark, supported by memberships in GEFMA, FMA, OEHGB, and OVI industry associations.

Core offering

Housebook Solutions develops and sells a cloud-based SaaS platform for digital construction documentation and building/property management. The offering combines a mobile app (iOS/Android) for on-site photo documentation and defect reporting with a web-based control platform (Housebook Control) for project structuring, archival, and team-wide collaboration. The system uses unique QR codes for rapid defect localization and includes specialized modules such as the Digitales Raumbuch (digital room data sheet) and safety inspection documentation aligned with Austrian standards (Ö-Norm B 1300, TRVB O 120).

Product overview

Housebook Solutions offers a unified construction documentation and building management platform consisting of two core products: the Housebook App (mobile application for iOS and Android) and Housebook Control (web-based control platform). These work together with an automatic synchronization system. The platform includes QR-code based location identification, digital room data sheets (Digitales Raumbuch), and customizable questionnaire templates for specialized applications like insurance risk assessments. All components are designed to work together to provide seamless documentation from construction through ongoing property use.
