kontekst

Software for the construction site, from architecture

kontekst is an app for photo documentation and defect management. We studied architecture at RWTH Aachen and build it for the work between office and site.

Why we build kontekst

On a construction site, information is rarely missing. It is just scattered: photos on the phone, plans in folders, agreements in chats, defects in emails.

Every site walk is followed by rework. Sorting photos, typing up the defect list, informing subcontractors. And whoever looks for something later starts from scratch.

That is why kontekst brings photos, defects, plans and notes into one project. Photos, defects and notes are linked to each other, and you place photos and defects on the plan. What is captured on site shows up in the office as soon as the phone is back online.

Where information lives today

  • Photos in the phone gallery
  • Plans in folders on the server
  • Agreements in chats
  • Defects in emails and lists

In kontekst: one project, everything linked.

The founders

Both founders come from architecture. They know the work between office and site from practice.
